Over shooting or casing?

So I've thought over some time what would I rather take. A overshoot or case? I've decided taking a case. What would you rather take?

Depends on size and by how much... thought that would be obvious...

overshoot as long as its not to flat. Undershoot and you get that ball tingling feeling. Anything is better than landing on flat.

Unless you're going big air dave, overshoot is def better than landing on the fucking knuckle...

at breck, i would have rather overshot, because the landings were long and smooth with nocruel transitions, so even overshooting was still to a decent (ish) landing. at sunday river, overshooting by 10 feet could be as flat as the deck, and you could get messed up.

Eh, idk. If you undershoot, you have less speed in general and probably won't hit as hard (unless it's fucking chads gap or something).

I would assume when op said overshoot he meant too flat.

In the case of both extremes I would rather break both ankles then fuck up my pelvis and ribs/whatever happened to Dumont

This is definitely a case by case scenario. There are so many variables that can be considered. But in general I think if the jump is <40' casing would be better and if >40' over shooting. Reasoning for this is if <40' the average speed and height you will be at won't be too bad if you case. But once the jump is >40' you start to get into some real hang time and these jumps usually (or at least they should) have a decent landing length and pitch. Of course there is always the worst case scenario where no length of landing will save you. Such cases where you accidentally double the length of the air.

idk i think i would rather case a jump the way i think about it is if im in the air at like 25ft id rather have some "catch" at say 10ft than fall a full 25ft.

If you overshoot to the Gucci, its possible to ride away.
Overshoot to flat, though, and you dead.

Definitely a case by case scenario.

Also depends on snow. If its super slushy casing can be nbd and overshoot = punch front

If we're talking flat vs. flat, I'd rather case every single time.

I can't believe so many people say they would rather overshoot. If you case it, you know you need more speed and it's an easy fix. If you overshoot it, you get REALLY hurt (not just feet/knees--ribs, concussions...) and it fucking gets you mentally to the point it's hard to get back on the horse. I overshot a landing at Mammoth a couple years back during a late spring session and I haven't had the confidence to hit large jumps appropriately since. You guys must be thinking about going deep on a landing, not overshooting the whole thing.

it all depends on the size and shape of the jump

I cased a 65-70 footer just barely this year and I thought I broke my ankles. It didn't end my day or anything I just didn't hit that jump again.

If I landed to flat on the 70 footer I most likely would have been hospitalized. Force = mass x velocity. In order to overshoot and land to flat you must be going faster which means the force you hit the ground with is much more than casing.

This is a no brainer landing to flat vs knuckling, all things equal, sucks much worse.

Depends on how much. You can overshoot a landing way more without getting hurt as opposed to undershooting. However, if you pick way extremes, knuckling's better- less speed.

false...

Force = mass * acceleration (gravity)

Momentum = mass * velocity

just sayin

In my skiing "career," I've cased and broke a hand when I was 12 and overshot and broke my collarbone this year.

I need to drink more milk

I've gotten a concussion doing both... Well, I think i would rather case, you don't fall from nearly as high, but then again you do get bucked by the knuckle.

Case because you still have more X-Velocity and less Y-velocity so you are falling slower. So you really are just doing a parabola from where you took of.
Now overshooting you have now accelerated for an extra second or two and are falling about 20-50 ft/s faster (varying on how many tall tees you are wearing and how swaged your pants are).

So after putting thought into it. Always want I under shoot.
But this can all be avoid with AP Physics class and a speed check
