Here's a shitty angled pic from my trip on the opening w/e. let down to my expectations looks pretty small lol!

[Adam]

Looks good man! Wish I had the confidence to jump like that! Maybe this year!

[FR34KO]

Cheers Adam
I'll tell you what mate, when you're in the dip before the jump is the hardest part, where your looking up to the jump and can't see the landing. Just do it. YOLO. Once you do it once, no probs from then on. And always remember speed is key, along with a flat base when you take off; also, don't necessarily jump as hard as you can, you'll just unbalance yourself. Watch others before you and take note of the ones that make it over the hip and see where they straight-line it from. Copy them and you're sweet. Perhaps try from above because first time round it's easy to do a little turn and shave some speed whether on purpose or accidentally. Always remember that clearing the jump (as long as its not clearing the landing slope lol!), is better than falling short onto the hip or the flat, it hurts!! Hope that helps a tad!

Someone else may have some other tips?

..I'll also put the video up tonight where this still is taken from

[Adam]

Yeah, Looking at the jump is what wigs me out. Plus the gap! If it was a table top, I'd be sweet! And not knowing what speed.

Started getting it last year. But by the time I got it. The snow had turned into sticky snot and was too hard to keep speed.

Cheers for the tips! Can't wait to get down there aye!

How's the park looking Dan, I'm heading down this weekend. So keen.

Also sick photo man.

[FR34KO]

Yo Mitch, pretty decent actually. Check out these vids quickly you'll see most of it there. (Dammit couldn't find the ones i wanted to, but this one will do. It does contain parts that are shredbo but i'm sure you can see which is which)

Heaps of boxes, a spine, park bench, plastic tube grinder thingy, etc And of course, the 30Ft




Not sure if they've changed it up at all though?

And cheers

Have a sick trip dude!

[Adam]

Man the plastic tube thing hurts if you stack on it and then use your knee as a brake on it!
