yeah sooo perrrty much im trapped on the east coast for another 3 years and i ski some decent hills but there definitly no monster jumps in these parts unless i go to vt. And i live in pa so its a once a year thing if i do get to go anyway. So basicly the biggest jump i get are poppy 50-60 footers with small, sketchy landings. i been doin alot of tramp work and im feelin trying a dub 10 or a kang pretty early in the season and im wondering like if the jumps are even big enough? Iv never seen anyone dub ever, and i wana try but like is it even doable on jumps this small?

you should absolultley try a straight double before you take it to dub cork or rode, but i live in VT and last year a kid dub backed a sketchy 50 footer.... so im not saying you should try it im saying it may be do able

I've seen them done on 45 footers at Perfects, but Laker also has unreal air sense and is really just damn good. 55-60 may be suitable if you know what you're doing.

the jump at liberty has seen dub flats and kangs there. both of which were learned there by the way so you should be more than fine on those. dub 10 will take more air then the kang

they're moving it to central and building a better jump this year. speed shouldn't be an issue anymore. i saw a few people get double backs on it last year in the spring, with a shit lip and slow in-run. with more pitch and a better lip, i don't think it'd be that hard at all if you've got the air awareness.

that was stupid, whoever the kid is (hope its not you) is clearly challenged for trying doubles off of that. kids these days...

that was kind of small but he still had good height. a really poppy jump that doesn't go way far out probably wouldn't be bad for dubs, but I don't really know I can only do a few different single flips.

the smallest double ive ever seen was LJ at Keystone on the early season booter, it was thrown very similar to the flip above and he could not have done it any faster and brought it around at the right time. Im sure someone could dig it up on here.
