not exactly a 'road gap' but on the ski out of the glacier on blackcomb.... we hiked up the sided of the hill and built a huge kicker off a 15 foot cliff and jumped the cattrack.... it was sweet

lol, funny thing is i'll be doing a road gap tommorrow. i did one last year and my suggestion to everyone is don't go short, find a place where the jumping side is higher than the landing and try to get a long landing in like a meadow or somthin

theres mad road gaps all over the mountains in CO....we built a couple above the butte last year that was probably 45 ft long by about 12 ft of vert. pretty easy, just make sure youve got a lot of speed because short changing it sucks nuts.

ummm...just make sure your transition is nice and smooth. We did a 40+ footer and the tow in was at like 50-55mph, the jump was too kicky (the ditch was really steep) so it tossed you real werid sometimes.

I only have two pieces of advice.
1 Dont undershoot but don't huck it and overshoot
2 Start your first hit slow like a 3 then pull out the cork 7 and bio 9

Jibing,Eating, and Steeze the three things that make me tick.

i jumped a 3 foot path once. the jump was about 10' long and 4' high. i tried a 3 but i cased it and got laughed at.

if i get that 3 million dollar house i want, i'll have a 40' gap in my front yard.
