and 80 ft zero spin would be like a 1080 probably. But what do I know? I've never even seen an 80 ft jump.

um zero spin on a 80 footer would prolly be a corked 5, maybe a switch 3 tail.

theres no real way to measure a zero spin because its at a whole different level, mainly because the whole time your in the air you can hardly see your landing

whoever up there said a zero off an 80 foot table is the same as a switch three blunt has never done a zero spin and never seen an 80 foot table. swith 3 blunt is ridiculously easy. and I can do cork 5s in my sleep

thing is, for me at least, zero spins are simple. you go off the jump switch, you stay straight in the air, and you land switch. although i like the trick, it is really overrated.

i'd say it would be about the same as a switch 10 off an 80 footer. off a smaller jump, say a 45 footer, it would be about the same as a cork 5, or a regular 9. or a switch 7.

whoever thinks a 120' zero is impossible, watch the frickin' clips of SuperPark. there it is in front of you.

if you want to find out how hard a zero spin is, just try one, and if you really think it's easier then a switch 10, try that too and see if you land either. i personally don't think zero spins are all that hard, i just think it's a stylish trick to do. kinda like a nollie down a stair set on a skate.

zero spins used to be alot more intense than everyone thought, now they are almost easier than people think. zerospin on an 80 footer would depend on the lip, the tranny, and the landing. If it was lippy and abrupt - probably one of the hardest tricks out there. if it was a smooth tranny with a floaty lip - cork 7 blunt.

as someone who has zero'd a 65 foot table. to me zero spins are no harder then a straight in. i wouldnt guniea a jump with a zero but iv done them on 2nd hits. once u get zeros down they get straight boring. i did them constantly early/mid season and now they arent anything special.

i would compare a zero with a regular 360.
