Vert style kickers?

Ive only seen this kind of jump at a few mountains before. By vert style i mean jumps that send you almost straight up and you float in the air for a while then come back down on the steep landing. They are really fun for trying new stuff. Are any mountains sporting these kinds of jumps these days?

No, just a table top jump that has very steep kickers and landings

I think you're referring to one of those quarterpipe things at the bottom but facing parallel to the hill.
can you attach a pic?

nobody really builds them because people case the shit out of them when your speed is wrong even a little bit. better and safer to build a lower jump with a long landing and more room for error

Such a jump sounds like an easy way for gapers to die. Jumps with a lot of kick tend to send people into an auto backflip, and they land on their back and their spine explodes.

Yeah agreed that they're tight but they're also super easy for people to case on. That's prob why we don't see them that often
