I would hit chads gap who gives a shit theres so much pow i think hittin a 100 foot table would be scarier cuz i hit a 80 footer near the end of the season and it was gnarly

just go for it. Its better to die standing tall, than to live on your knees.

believe me, u wouldnt hit chads if u thought an 80 footer was gnarly. its not just the landing...u have to FLY into it on a hard inrun, and the jump would porobably throw u into a backflip. not to mention u'd freak out wen u looked down and realized u were 100 feet up

its not 100 feet up its like 20 feet up... and big tables is more scary than hittin big jumps into pow

^ the little valley thing you gap over on chads is wayyyy higher than 20ft.

i had a feeling that's what FSI meant. but yeah i won't hit a big jump unless i see someone else do it first because dying sucks

its more than 20 feet u retard. theres a reason no snowboarders had hit it before a few months ago, conceptdude, because its HARD. stop trying to act tough, we know u couldnt and wouldnt hit it. and i could care less if u think i'm a pussy because i ask a simple question about fuckin chads gap.

Ask a local or someone that has hit it, if not just brake up the in-run and you should be able to feel the amount of speed you need

Nice, thanks for all the input. I'm glad this thread actually survived with real responses

years ago, we built a gap over some trees. The guys I was with were a little better than me. The run-in was a little flat, so they hit the jump full blast and cleared the trees with room to spare. Therefore, I did the same. It was a big jump and I racked my first 2 tries but the landing was pow and most importantly, I cleared the trees. 3rd try I stuck the shit out of it and it felt good, I got better that day. My friend, who was not as good as me, decided the jump was scary and threw in several speed checks. He bit the trees. We laughed. He went again. He speed checked even more. He didn't clear the trees the first time and did even worse the second time. We laughed even harder. By his third time, he was scared of the jump, demoralized. If it hurt to go slow, then it would hurt even more to go fast right? His 3rd attempt was even more pathetic. At the end of the day, he didn't get any better, he got worse, he was scared of big jumps. So don't be a puss, go big and at least hit the landing. If you are going to get hurt, at least make it worthy.

I hate speed checking.

I just watch a bunch of people go first, make the judgement, and go. Think about the kinda jump, if its a really steep ramp, chances are you need more speed than you think.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.
 
^ wait if its steep wont you ened less speed than roconized?

hahaha concept_dude, how old are you? You sound like you are 15 or something. Unless you have multiple years of experience hitting backcountry gaps, I can guarantee you would NOT hit Chad's while looking down the inrun. You don't just hit it straight up like that, you start with the Pyramid Gap or others then move up to Chads, its a whole different form of skiing. It takes lots of practice to be able to hit a jump like that a not lose control. Don't be a cocky dumbass, why do you think PROFESSIONAL boarders didn't hit it until this year? Picture this: You are standing atop an incredibly steep and long chute, the kind you normally hop turn or straightline out of control down. Now instead, at the bottom of this chute there is a cheese wedge jump at 45 degrees of an angle pointing out over a chasm that is 50 feet down. Looking down from the top of the chute you cannot see the other side (the landing) very well. Your first speed check sends you reeling out of control because you are going so fast the G forces at the bottom compress your body to the backseat. Then the only other people there hitting it, a few pros, say 'dude, you need more speed if you want to make it to the landing' OK man, go hit Chad's first time cause you are so brave.

^exactly what i'm saying. conceptdude, stop acting tough, its incredibly hard to even make it down the inrun

inruns are 80% of the jump...if its a dodgy inrun that gives you no place to bail out if you have no speed, thats where you have to be on point. you have to be super focused at the task at hand and what you have to do...wax...faster the better...what happens if i commit and i dont have the speed...you could be fuct...its all about the calculated risk factor...you gotta be on your game and not just show up.

When in doubt...FSI

depends on the jump...a table is better to come up short, or risk falling an extra 10-20 feet to flat. A gap it best to overshoot. It's trial and error...most people are usually lucky, but others have lost their lives comin up short. It all comes down to how bad you want to hit it, and how much you're willing to risk. I think though, if you tend to build similar trajectories for your jumps, you'll have a good idea of how fast to go. Always trust your gut, if you have second thoughts, ditch the jump, your body always knows best.

uh jibs, did you ever hear about that bartender who died because he listened to that gut feeling? sure it wasnt a jump but a 100 plus foot cliff, but he listened to his gut and thought he had to much speed and speed checked once. that speed check slowed him down just enough to fall 80 ft. to rock.
