I can consistently throw 3s on 20 - 30 foot jumps (i basically have 5s too, but the jump set up at jackson was "mini" so i'm assuming i will be able to do them on larger jumps) and am looking to take my tricks to some 40 - 45 footers this weekend. Is it hard to adapt to larger sized features? any tips?thanks
 
Just rotate slower

think about how hard you throw a three if you do it off a 1 foot mound versus when you do it off a 20 foot jump, same for bigger jumps
 
threes are pretty easy to estimate, just straight air it and remember what it feels like, then just float a three. if you spin too fast, open up and slow it down. if too slow, just whip it around at the end. just get a feel for the jump and you will be fine
 
It shouldnt be too hard, you dont really even have to throw for threes so just look over the shoulder and float it.
 
buy full tilts lawl. oh wait, you alrady has them.

just straight air it a few times, get your threes on lock on a smaller jump, step up, and go for it. Bigger jumps just give you more hang time. thats the mentality you need dude.

good luck my man
 
hahahsome guy on the hill thought they were salomons... what a noobyeah, i'll post video once we get it.thanks
 
i would not recommend doing a 1 over it first.

that will probably just make you under-rotate when you go for a three, thats what usually happens to me. so now i start with 3s
 
i like bigger jumps waaay more than small ones personally. i love just tossin huuge floater 3's and 5's rather than hucking on small stuff.

just dont wind up as hard for your spin. pop, and make sure you grab so youre steady in the air, spot the knuckle, stomp, and ride away like it was no big deal
