I'm doing a project for school so I thought I would poll here. What is the ideal jump type and size for you? Also what are the ideal rails and ons to those rails? Thanks

for jumps, 45-60 table, wide takeoff and huge landing so i can land way down it.
for rails i don't know but i like a wide takeoff so you can go on the middle or lipslide.

jump- 50 foot deck with really wide tranny, humungous not too steep landing, and a good amount of air but the tranny has to be super smooth.
rails..if its in a park, a tranny good for spinning onto the rail but not too big, so not just any retard can hit it

60 foot jump with nice kick and a really steep, long, smooth landing, also has to be nice and wide.

^yeah that but on the knol it needs to be soft and rounded..and a speed thing that tells you how fast your going so you know how fast to hit it so you dont case and break your heel like me

40-50ft, basically how mammoth builds em big smooth take offs with long wide landings. I like flat rails opposed to barrells, with a little jump up but not too gapped out.

45-60 foot table. have the table part step up about 5 feet above the lip of the jump. At the end of the flat have it go down a bit before the knuckle so it doesn't hurt when you case. Extremely long landing so that you can take as much speed into it as you want. Super wide jump with lots of lip. Long smooth run up so you can get lots of speed.

tables with like 15 feet flat then a 50 foot 30 %27 degrees) down so you if you come up short you dont wreck you legs/feet then kids (like me) cn throw stuff withim\n theyre skils and the amazing skiers can still have fun too. The ramps gotta be like 20 feet wie, the landing s like 75. The jumps gotta be like 50 % (45 degrees) so you get lots o pop

Are you guys serious? 60 foot jumps? C'mon, I have never seen anyone hit jumps that big. I think everyone is lying unless they are sponcered. I like 10-12 foot jumps where I can get enough air to really tweak my mute grabs. I can spin 360 on those pretty easy now.

30-40 feets kickers and more floater. Huge landing. For the rails I don't like small jumps. I like em at the same high that the rail or a lil less and wiiiide ones. So you can try some things whitout poping 3 feets high.

wow you guys, 60 footers are large, but they really aren't that big, you can find enough hill to hit them at least, unless you have a total of 250 feet vertical on your mountain.

Our best hit this year is probably 65 if you barely cleared the knuckle on the short side (slight hip) but where we're landing it's about 75-80. Perfect size.

40 foot tables would be ideal. however, tremblant has two 30 footers and two 50 footers.
