IDEA THE FUTURE OF BIG-AIR

[CockGoblin]

Basically, I have this idea that I've been playing around with for a while, and after lurking NS for so long I have finally gathered the courage to share it with the community



So what we have here is what is is going to save Big-air from continuing it's downward spiral. By building a medium-large park feature jump, and putting controllable rockets on it, a skier can then enter the contraption and hover to heights greater than petty ski-resorts. Once the desired height has been established, the contraption will hover in-place and the skier will then proceed to hit the jump. BUT! As the skier comes off the lip, the thrusters will reduce power significantly, causing the contraption to accelerate downward at 8.24m/s/s. Mathematically, this would impose the same relative gravity for the skier with respect to the landing of the jump, as the moon does in respect to an astronaut.

Of course, saftey is a concern for the sport, so the whole thing would obviously have netting around it

And I respect that the technology isn't quite there yet, but I think in 5-7 years time these kinds of contractions will be commonplace in skiing

Feel free to add anything or give your thoughts, let's make this a community effort!

You've been blazing too much op?

But fo real, this idea is stupid.

 

[.HERO]

And all the skiers have to ride J-skis CATS IN SPACE lol

 

[.lencon]

5-7 years a commonplace? If I don't see this on 2020 Xgames OP I'm giving you k-

 

[daOyster]

How high is OP?

Why not have rockets facing sideways as well? Just do a straight air, rockets initiate the whole system into a spin, so relative to the jump everyone would be doing crazy future spins. This would open up the field to relative amateurs who can't actually do tricks and thus create equal opportunity as athletes won't have to train full-time (if at all) to become the best.

See kids, this is what the devil's lettuce does to

[Criloh]

Your names really brings the thread together

I was thinking about this too. Kind of like a travelling Rail Jam for Travelling Circus

 

[CHU-TANG_CLAN]

lets just send comp skiing to outer space. no gravity flips x5000000000

Big-air from continuing it's downward spiral.

hehe

this. really i see no reason why there wouldn't be rockets at all angles to propel the entire park feature into a controlled spin/flip/cork/rotation of any kind. truly revolutionary OP.

also i don't think anyone told you, but you need some serious sponsors to get airborne. i talked to my connects and they're decided to help you out financially!

 

[N.L.]

willy wonka was on the same shit as OP

 

[TheRacker]

There is no way Red Bull wouldn't be involved with this

 

[dtwizzle]

That fact that you have a runescape profile pic makes me want to suck your cock

 

[gbola]

pretty dank, see the correlation to the Line traveling circus. what is the estimated cost of this?

 

[d00d]

contractions

idk man... i think this might be aliens

 

[LOLZfajitas]

ill donate 9 mil if we get big air dave as the commentator

 

[Karkoskier]

This may be one of the most creative and best ideas of our time. Someone get this kid the Nobel Prize for Freeskiing, they give that out at IF3 or something right?

 

[Skibumsmith]

I don't like it

 

[Skibumsmith]

I LOVE IT

 

[cbj]

Somebody call Elon Musk and get him to sponsor

 

[murphyboiiii]

I have an idea...

so what u gotta do is custom order 2 50 ft tall blue ribbons and duct tape them to the sides of this big air "arena" then u shotgun them both at once sending the stadium up into the air long enough for henrik to throw the nose butter quad cork 1980

 

[Earl_Globz]

Henrik should always ski with streamers. Moon physics should be a more broad application than THPS.

This just blew my mind on so any levels

You been on the purp?

 

[Puzzled]

sweet ariels ?

 

[MTPOW]

Can somebody else look through OP's threads and comments? Then notice that he hasn't logged on in 30+ days... I was looking through my threads and saw an old one and checked to see how he was doing but now I'm kinda concerned, especially because he had a thread about shooting people.

...

 

[whoa-dere]

hes busy getting this idea off the ground

 

[bait]

And all the skiers have to ride J-skis CATS IN SPACE lol

J skis will probably have a "rocket hovering big air" graphic by then

 

[SHARKWEAK]

Heard on the grapevine that Schlopy has been fine tune the technology for years now so he can finally reach the future. From recent reports it should be ready for Pyeongchang 2018 well ahead of schedule of 5-7 years

 

[Nicholas.Suchy]

someone has to make a time machine where you have to do a future spin to time travel. like 1980 or above

You lost me at "so what we have here"

Isn't acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s^2, so the rocket thrusters would also have to fire downwards at 9.81m/s^ to keep up with the skier. This, of course, is assuming that wind resistance would be negligible (which it wouldn't be)

actually wind resistance on the skier WOULD be negligible because the jump would act as a wind block creating a pocket of very low pressure behind it where the skier would be, effectivley getting rid of all wind resistance.

And no, we dont want a freefall from the skier, we just want extra soft mellow landings- hence the replication of the moons gravity with respect to landing.

This is true, but the rocket thrusters would have to compensate for the wind resistance created by the entire apparatus. It has a flat bottom which will create immense amounts of wind resistance.

Absolutely, but they would still be required to produce an acceleration of 8.xxm/s. The rickets would just produce a bit more force than if they were in a vacumn.

It'd be interesting to see what the skiers relative acceleration would be if both were dropped from the sky with the skier 10 ft above the ramp surface. The skier would accelerate at 9.81m/s nearly continuously before impacting the landing, while the ramp would initially accelerate at 9.81m/s but tge n begin decelerating to its specific terminal velocity.
