Are jumps 1 and 2 both classified as kickers???( oh and on jump one the "slope" isnt susposed to be flat, so dont pay attention to that)


refer to crappy MS Paint drawing :D

i think any jump can be called a "kicker". the first one looks more like a step up/over sort of jump while the second is more cheese wedge-like

but the first is kinda a table too

I posted this like a minute ago and i already have 5 replies, yay!!

and thanks for the help, btw is it normal to have a harder time keeping control on a kicky jump as aposed to a floaty jump?

yes, it is. It sounds kind of weird but popping off the lip as hard as you can will help you keep control no matter what type of jump it is.
