how big was it? i figure if girls hit it i should also be able to hit a jump that big, it will be my motivation. when i pussy out i'll just think "even girls can do this", foolproof plan.

it s not how big a jump is that makes it dangerous. it s how it s made.

the nine queen jump was not that big but it was super safe. in random terrain parks you ll find jumps half this size and super sketch.

This. I remember my resort had a 60 foot stepover once, and it was like beyond retardedly sketchy. I hit it like once, and then never again afterwards. I hate stuff like that.

translation: the jumps in the inferno park at Carinthia, on Mount Snow, are sometimes as large as he nine queens jumps. sometimes they arent sketchy, sometimes they are. east coast skiers ought to know what i am talking about.

The first jump in the dew tour course from 3 years ago was the best jump I've ever hit. So well built. Seriously a work of art.

At my mountain we are not allowed making jumps over 40ft. But the one year since it was the park managers last weekend he decided to make a 60ft jump. It was the sketchiest thing ever. It had the landing equivalent to a 20ft jump, you had to bomb the whole run to get enough speed. Management wasnt to pleased with it, but somehow they left it open and only 1 kid broke his back.

Word. The way it's built is the biggest thing. There are 30 foot jumps that are absolutely fucking terrifying to hit and ones twice the size that are fucking smooth and nbd.


Sketchy jumps suck.

You just need to get fried enough that ice is no big deal.

Generally necessary step for east coast riding.
