Thread title.

I don't care if its a repost.

If the jump was perfect, the inrun clean, would you hit Chads Gap?

Me, no.

If I was standing at the top of the in-run I have to admit i'd probably cry, and still not hit it.

if you knew what was going to happen before you hit it, that would kind of defeat the point.

i would afterbang that straight air so hard that the gap would suck itself into a vortex of steeze with me left floating in boner form awaiting my broken ankles.

if there was a solid 2+ feet of pow on the landing and i knew i would land right on the sweet spot... maybe. but seeing as the speed would be unknown and conditions are never perfect... no.

every aspect seems scary. The run in, the wall, and the second wall. There's close to zero run out. If you go to big, you land in a pit essentially. If you stomp, you still have to do an immediate left hand turn to avoid running into a wall.

If I could watch someone hit it first to see the speed, I'd hit it.  It's 100 ft. of gap right?  Or 120?  I would do 100 ft.....120 would be pretty terrifying.

I've hit 100 foot booters but i couldn't imagine a 100 foot gap. I wanna say chads is 120-130 but i'm really not sure. also that extra 20-30 feet would make a huge difference. Even though 20-30 feet doesn't seem like much.

depends on where you build the wedge, but its around 130 give or take a few feet.

i would hit it if it was a nice sunny day, the snow was fast, and some people who had experience with the gap were there hitting it first and giving me pointers. as well it would help if there was also someone who had never hit it before, and he hit it before me successfully that would boost my confidence a ton.
