Speed checking jumps

[TTSwitchrider674]

so i always thought it was kinda crazy that ppl speed check a jump by flying in at mach speed nd then trying to stop right at the lip of the jump, and it always looks like their about to fall off, but they never do and then i saw the grand bizarre, and it happens at 3:30, thanks to nick martini, which i have to say is a man for taking a scary digger lie that

Speed checking is so sketchy haha

its better than sending it first try and ending up somewhere other than the transition...unless you are just a spectator of course

 

[PJS.]

Its a pretty awesome feeling when you stop short tho

 

[doGelyst]

you can establish a feel for the amount of speed you can obtain for coming into the jump, as well as getting a feel for the transition and angle of it as well.

 

[yuck]

yeah it is actually sick haha but i usually just find someone and follow them into it instead

 

[Mr.Gaga]

was about to say something like this. But peoples usualy just do it to look like their pro

 

[I_Am_Mod]

i always speedcheck like a boss, just straightline it, overshoot by a mile and stomp on flat like a boss

 

[POWDER.RANGER]

really?? for me speed checking jumps is the easiest thing in the world.

 

[Broseph_Stalin]

any jump jarger than 30 feet i usually speed check and check out the jump

 

[AGOF]

this, unless it is in a park that is super consistant, speed is usually the same, jump sizes are consistant, etc. but if a park has been changed up i usually speed check

i definitely speed check a lot more in the spring when the condition of the snow changes a lot throughout the day.

yah following somone is much better, if you have somone to follow. Plus you don't scrape all the snow off the takeoff.

Dude the worse is when you have the speed down and you realize on the incline of the kicker you are going to knuckle so you try and bail/stop. Sometimes you make it, others you go over and die =/.

I've done that before. Broke my back /claim
