I heard the jump were supper busted, flat takeoff and flat landings. Anyone know when they might fix that bullshit, or if it's already been fixed?

HAHAHHAH, WOW. Ok, just for you, because I feel bad for you, I'm going to help. Here's a quick lesson on the CORRECT way to calculate the percentage difference in two lengths. I suggest you read this to help avoid looking ignorant and uneducated in the future.

If you compare the length of two things, the smaller is measured as a percentage of the larger. To help you understand this, I will try to make it as simple as possible:

Jump B is 50 ft in length.
Jump K is 40 ft. in length.

1. You take the length of the short and divide it by the length of the longer.
-- Here you take B (40) and divide by K (50). So, 40/50= .80 or 80%

2. You then subtract the value from 100%. This gives you the percentage difference from K to B.
** So, 100%- 80% = 20%. That is what the percentage difference in length from B to K.

Thus, Jump K is 20% smaller than jump B. I hope this helps you to better understand how to compare the percentage difference in size between two jumps. Perhaps it will even save you from making future accusatory and ignorant statements that reflect poorly on your image.

im aware that when comparing in the proper fashion the key jump is 20% smaller, but for the purpose of arguing showing the amount of size increase provides a larger percentage difference which is advantageous in skewing the statistics to prove the point that the key jump is smaller without even factoring in the higher angles breck uses for its takeoffs.

What a stupid prick you are. When someone says A is 25% larger than B they are saying B is 125% the size of A. Math isn't worth shit if you can't communicate with people.

Or maybe it's how you view an argument. If you read what I wrote, you will see in my conclusion that it was directed at saying the size difference between two fixed objects, not what you add to something to have it reach another. That is not a comparison, that is addition in relation to itself, not the object in question.

When you compare K and B side by side, such is the argument in the thread, then that is not an appropriate way of measuring the difference. It follows logically when you step back and say:
K=40 and B=50. So, K is 4/5 of B which =80%. The missing part is 20%, the percent smaller. I see the confusion, and I'm only stating as I see it best pertains to the argument.

You can look at it like this: If K adds 25% of it's current length (when compared to itself exclusively), then yes it reaches B on that calculation. But I thought this was a comparison argument, not a growth rate percentage calculation dispute?

I think you're a little off base calling me a prick. I got not problem with the "rayanvdonk," but if you're going to rebut something someone says, it damn well better be done so objectively and with facts and calculations to prove your point. You have failed a both here.

P.S. I don't hate you, but don't call me a prick for shedding some light on a two-sided argument.

Umm, ya...Keystone's got a shit ton of rails...and though I find them repetitive, they're still fun..And their jumps are super close together but they're still decent, and their pipe kinda blow...

Breck's more focused on jumps and Pipe....fun jibs but not as many as Key...PERFECT jumps and pipe though...

Depends what you're into
