So this season i want to try some double. I can on trampolines already, and a few friends and I are planning to head somewhere to build a pow kicker early in the season. How big do you reccomend a kicker should be to try a double?

Well since you've got it on lock on the tramp I'd say you're about ready to give it a shot on a 80-100 foot step down. First try or you're a pussy.

Its all about airtime, and lots of pop with a steep landing, but it doesnt have to be huge. I would reccomed doing some 7s before your dub to get an idea how fast you will need to spin.

Comfortable size.
Not too big that you are pysched out, but not too small that you wont have enough air.

you can pretty much double any jump. I got doubles off the sides of the take offs for most of the rails.

wait... are we talking shred sauce here?

Poppy 40-50 footer, no bigger.  If you can find a smaller jump with enough air time, then that.  Basically as small as possible.

rough estimate is to divide x ft by 3 and then take a little bit less ...

ie. 30ft jump is 9-10m

or use a converter:

also keep in mind that there are different types of jumps, tables, step ups, step downs, etc.

personally i'd go for the biggest kicker you feel completely confident on and you're able to throw most of your current tricks on .....

what double are you thinking of throwing first ?

last season a friend of mine did his first double back on a BC kicker of about 30ft / 9-10m ....
