Which is worse? I feel that overshooting is a lot worse cause you are carrying more speed with you

you kids are all such park rats.. it depends on what you are doing, if its a gap jump like chads, i would suggest going way to fast than casing. but if its a park jump i would rather case cuz they just aren't that big.
so its all relative

i dont remember if i posted in this so...
id rather over shoot, if you think about casing is landing on almost perfectly flat ground, adn overshooting ( for those of us who dont live in the midwest) your landing on at least a little bit of a slope. and knuckeling hurts like a bitch

well it depends what kind of jump it is if its like a gap then overshooting is better cause u dont want to pull a tanner and if its like a table casing is better cause u dont want to pull a dumont

It depends just look at Tanner vs Dumonts crash they were almost both equally painful but Dumont got the edge because he broke his fuckin pelvis

casing kills because you usually land on an upslope, so you go flying and land on your face

id say completely depends on the jump...casing is fucked though, coz people laugh whilst you are in pain. overshooting, still get nailed but people watching just say damn..

if it was a 20 footer, overshooting definitely, if theres a step up and you case it hurts a lot more, if it was like chads gap or pyramid then def casing, but just on step downs, overshooting definitely because you have more speed and youre falling down at a faster rate

it all depends on how hard you go like over shoot the landing by 20 ft or case 5ft before the knuckle. personally i find if you over shhot big on a kicker it hurts way more

as long as you still throw your trick and case it i dont think you can seem too terribly gay. it only gets gay if you case it over and over again

I overshot landing switch into the compression after the landing, not fun! torn ankle ligaments. With hitting the tabletop at least your not going as fast.

but casing can ruin your weekend

I dont have a ton of park experience...but ive noticed that its scary stuff when you fly off a jump and can see the whole resort below you as you fly over the landing area. Basically my thought was "wow...now would be a good time to invest in a helmet."

Acutally casing switch is better than casing regular.
