You should be VERY comfortable hitting a jump before you safely should try a double.

If you need to ask newschoolers about dubs... You're not good enough to do them.
Sorry man, most likely the truth. Keep at it and you'll get there.

I truly hope this is not a serious thread. If it is, you should make like that snowboarder that tried a triple at Breck; Call ski patrol before attempting and tell them to meet you at the bottom of the jump ASAP.

yeah um, no vids. Like I said im on australian snow so we dont get anything. This year they built a 80 ft jump out of dirt so when snow covered it we could use it. The biggest Ive done was a 70 ft. I did it straight yes but i want enough airtime to spott the landing and finish the rotation switch. I can do all this on a tramp. Ill put up a vid soon. As for junction 133, This was as close as i could get as to seeking help from people who knew what they were doing, so yes, this is a serious thread

listen man, either commit 110% IF you know that you can do it and have done all the proper progression, have done it on tramps/water ramps, etc. or dont do it.
