That's a jump not a big air(small jump 30ft)
I'm a bit nervous but I just want to know If smooth spin with grabs give more points like 720 liu kang or blunt....
Or i should go for a cork 720 with a shitty blunt grab, flat 5 japan sketch landed???

future spin, no grabs, just throw atleast a 1440 off a jump that size and you will win

This is good. Landing first runs are key. Especially a clean one. Then go bigger on the second one or switch a couple things so they are bigger

Do your best trick that you can land clean. Hold your grabs. Don't flail your arms, that looks bad.

Play it safe on the first hit, smooth with a nice long grab, then let it rip on the second hit and spin into the future with a grab if you can. Good luck!

Best advice for a contest.

Keep your morale up by throwing a run or trick that you know you have on lock and make it look super good. You'll have an ass-load of confidence when you stomp it and it will allow you to huck the next run with no fear of messing up since you already have a good run under your belt.

I assume three runs?

Depending on how comfortable you are with jump here's what I suggest.

1. Straight air/ 1/ zero spin
2. 5 or 7 with a solid grab
3. Go big or go home (screamin' semen)

I kinda figured that, (no way in fuck I could or would either) but I was just using that as a reference on a "big" trick

If its ussa or usasa then do a 720 with a grab and a 900 with a grab. And carve. If its just a local comp, wear the baggiest shit ever. If its judged by snowboarders then wear tight pants.

if you can whip around a 9 with a grab on a 30ft jump the judges will love it.
do a switch 7 with a mute too.

Haha there was someone put a rodeo 9 screamin semen


We were having 2 runs in qualification,
I put down a misty 540 japan and a cork 720

I go to finals and made a misty 540 critical and fell on my last run trying a misty 720

But I had a lot of fun and finished 5 on 18
