Impossible jump angle?

depends on how fast you're going. I don't see why you couldn't make it work though other than speed.

So we made a bit of a "rural jjb" today and I'm wondering if when we hit this we'll either just case into the bail or overshoot? We're hitting from the right side step up style

I think that you need a tad more lip for that to work as a step-up, but I haven't stood on it & smelled the air, so don't treat my word as gospel.

I would add a bit more pop to the jump so you can slow down the run in speed. As it is now it looks like you will just barely clear the bail. The height looks fine just take a bit out of the middle.

Just fuckin send it

Famous last word as well as famous words before doing rad shit

Make that lip a little poppier so it shoots you up more.

Come up short to see what it feels like.

Just clip your ankles like tanner.

"rural jib" hahaha. crank that good ol rural send knob bud.

You'll probably be fine but if you're worried just make the jump kick a little more

I mean don't take my word on this 100%, because this is an internet photo eyeball... so taking action off my recommendations is not safe.

However, from the looks of it you're going to just clear the knuckle, which will likely mean to catch transition you'll have to go 'deep'. Its a small jump, so I wouldn't expect to get many tricks out on this.

For small booters like this, you should be taking more inspiration from dirt jumps.

Ski/Snowboard jumps usually have a flat trajectory simply for the fact that usually they are on a mountain and absolutely massive. You can do tricks in the flatter trajectory when you're going 70 MPH and there's a huge landing dropping away after you after clearing a 50'+ gap.

When you're in a field, you need to look to how the dirt jumpers do it. Kick beyond kick... if the goal is to do tricks of course.

The more kick though, the more speed you need to clear the gap... and under shooting is going to hurt.

There's no harm in hitting it a couple of times and feeling it out. If the first guy has to suck up his knees cruising a few inches over the lip and then over shoots the landing... you have way too little kick. Zero issue to build that up on the lip and work slowly until you get the amount of air that works for you.

lol we already called it chads gap

Call it OP's gap

perfect answer and i agree with doug. Definitely take inspiration from dirtjumps when building kickers at a local sleigh hill. Make them transition smoothly with consistent radius and a little steeper at the top to pop you up and not out. just remember, if you plan so spin, you may want to make the lander wider

lol.... epic.

looks like chads

ooo just hit it eland see man it snot like its very big ya know

just letting everyone know that it worked pretty well. Popped a couple 3s and 5s off of it and it worked better than expected. I think Bishop hit it dead on, needs more kick

Sick! It was hard to really tell the angle from that photo.

But yeah, when in doubt if the jump is small kick that fucker up.

Remember aerials jumps only have about a 20' deck. They just kick the living shit out of them and add stepdown.

I'd agree that you need to add more pop to the lip to let you go a little higher and land in the sweet spot because with the current angle, you're either going to case it or overshoot. It's all physics man.
