Hi,
I wanna do 180s and 360s on bigger jumps.
But it seems too much of an impact for me missing the landing. I don't know the size of the jump. It is big enough for amateur competition. I believe it should be 20-30 feet.
How bad it is for normal people to land flat on the 'deck'? sometimes icy.
Thanks!

Impact on knuckles - How bad it is?
it's okay. def can hurt, def can get injured but it's more likely you just whack the ground and your legs hurt, possibly balls.
more importantly, though, is that i wouldnt say you should be trying 3s on it until youve gotten very good at judging speed and hitting the landing every time. lotta mental math you'll get used to quickly... soon you won't really need to think much to know how much speed you need for a given jump, but you need to practice that first and foremost

Probably would hurt your hands pretty badly, although I usually land open handed
Make sure if you do knuckle that your whole body is absorbing the impact. I have knuckled plenty of times being unprepared and it when all the impact is one one place it will be really painful and you could possibly get hurt. I say you should hit the jump every single lap and get comfortable on it before trying any spins. If you can hit it every run knowing your going to make it, you should have enough confidence to know that you will make it past the knuckle while trying your spin. I also think that you should do a 360 first instead of a 180 just so you can land forward. Best of luck!
Have you ever had knees to the face?
as long as you don't skip leg day, decking out on jumps is fine as long as it's just barely on the knuckle. If you only go halfway to the knuckle, shits gonna hurt. Going too slow will always suck more than going too fast.
Simply too much sag...
Just don't knuckle it. If you can land in the sweet you can land in the sweet with a 3. go with enough speed to clear it. Your brain might tell you to speed check because you're going to try a trick, and going slow is good. Brains are dumb, don't listen to your brain. Just send it.
If you're too scare maybe progress more slowly up bigger jumps rather than jump up a ton in size. If you have the option of hitting varied size jumps.
Knuckling big jumps sucks, but it won't kill you. I'm guessing we're talking under 60'? You're probably young enough it won't even faze you. My knees would probably be shot and I'd drink heavily for a few days but whatever.
Just don't do any "Im trying a trick" speedchecks.

I saw some kid get crumpled on a knuckle yesterday
Personally, I find that on a 20 footer or smaller if you absorb the landing and know how to fall safely you’ll be good. 30 footer would just hurt, but prolly not much injury. Anything much bigger gets sketch. I have a buddy who knuckled tf out of a 45 footer, on a first hit straight air, and tore his meniscus last season.
Necessary part of the sport man. You're gonna knuckle, and you're gonna like it. You definitely will not die, and you probably won't even break anything. In the end, you'll be stoked.
smashing your ass on your back binding is where its at
evanballsmashing your ass on your back binding is where its at
Once I landed backseat on a lazyboy 1 and my snowpants fell down and my binding entered my ass it gave me nam flashbacks
Then don't jump, you pussy. You will knuckle, you will overshoot, you may literally shit your pants but if you're a scared little bitch, then don't hit them.
If you're scared to hit bigger jumps find someone roughly your size/weight hitting the jump and use them as a guide for how fast you should go and how much or how little u should speed check. (i.e. just watch them hit the jump) Then like others are saying once u have the speed down just keep that speed no matter whether you're doing a straight air, 180, 360, triple cork 1620, etc.
And yeah you're gonna hit the knuckle sometimes and its gonna hurt lol

yeah, or if a buddy or a kind stranger doesnt mind, just follow them off it for your first hit
Read the thread title and instantly thought of Clayton Vila smashing his knuckles into a flat mess and said to myself “yeah dude the impact was pretty fucking hard on those knuckles...”
it sucks ass
Here in michigan the weather isn't the same as your last run. I figured this out the hard way by landing flat and casing. landing flat hurts way worse than knuckling. knuckling you get little to no shin bang or a binding up your A$$ when you case. landing flat you can get whiplash, awful shin bang, and other injuries.
^^^This video is exactly the type of jump i'm talking about.
Doesn't look that bad 180s/360s on it.
Or should i go for the landing on first try?

LOL as soon as I saw a thread about knuckling jumps I thought of Jerry Of The Day and all the videos they post of it
Hit the knuckle on purpose or you ain’t got balls
All times are Eastern (-5)
