Step-over jumps

I truly love those jumps!!

it's too bad i've never seen one around here

they are super safe since casing it doesn't really hurt and you can go sooo deep on a well buit one... great for learning or perfecting tricks safely

here's a couple of shots from the hut/shack booter on blackcomb last year:

i hope the hills around montreal finally see the light this year

 
the one whistler had 2 years ago was pretty filthy

but too many of those jumps (whereever they may be) are usually too bloody small. they feel nice but are super limited.
 
step overs are so much fun. you can can take them so deep or come up short and not have your knees explode.
 
The step up in the blackcomb park last season was the balls, learnt so much stuff on that sucker.
 
i want to see one of these built in the park im working at this winter.

so great for progression, and you can knuckle or overshoot and not get hurt - as badly -
 
i wish my mountain had that much snow in the park. i am going to make them blow lots of snow in the park this year
 
I know like a dozens of parks in Austria and have never seen a step-over...

Usually they just have step-downs which sucks if you wanna go big.

Of course step-downs are super sick if youre going for pics or video, but seriously, if you try something new or you fuck up for some reason... youre fucking screwed. So all those parkbuilders out there, build us some of those safe badass jumps!
 
The last picture, the jump on the right, the take-off all the way on the left looks so sketchy. You have to like turn to go off it, it looks awful.

On the candide jump, the prints in the snow of where people came up short are so funny.

And the other whistler jump looks so nice and perfect. At my hill, all the jumps are stepdowns, it kinda sucks
 
Step-overs are definitely super sick! I learned rodeos on a step-over at COC this summer with the helpof Even Sigstad and Finn Anderson and it felt so good. Definitely great jumps for learning new tricks!
 
no thats a transfer gap, oh ya i guess you said that. a transfer is kinda like a table but your going to the side, kinda hard to explain. a step over is where the lip of the jump is below a knoll that you have to clear to get to the landing. and if you don't clear it, you hit the knoll, but your at the height of your jump so there isn't much impact, instead of casing a regular table and getting owned
 
i love it so much when u like pop off the lip and float a fat 180 over the lip on step-overs it feels good man
 
Last year we started out with nothing but step ups, then they changed them to a rhythm section, then to tables, then one cliff to step up to table, but the able was a bitch because the in-run after the step up was so flat, you had to get a perfect second hit and tuck all the way to the lip on the table, they fixed it though, made it a little poppier since almost every gaper who tried to hit it cased it 5 ft short of the knuckle.
 
i guess you could think of it like a step up except instead of landing flat it goes downhill again and you land on that tranny. theyre really safe because they catch you at a time when youre not flying downward
 
My mountain makes nothing but step downs and regular tables. The only time I've ever hit a stepover was at park city. they became my new favorite jump.
 
i actually hit that jump posted by the creater (claim!)but ya it actuallty alot bigger then it looks but it was supper chyll on the landing and no worries about getting chin bang
 
yeah they actually had a really sweet step-up at Avila two seasons ago, it was super sick. i havent really seen that many jumps like that in quebec tho.. not enough snow
 
SOME step-ups are safe, others are not. The step up @ windells left over from the level 1 shoot was beatiful but if you came up short you got seriously fucked! Lots of ppl got hurt from casing on bigger step-ups which is a problem for park builders i guess. But as long as you keep ur speed up they're great.
 
step overs are dope

i live in michigan

there aren't any here

i wish there were good jumps here cause if you dont make the landing on any larger jump it kills you
 
i dunno... some people seem to confuse step-up with a step-over...

to me they are really two different types of jumps.

if you look at the second pic i posted at the top, you can see the two types of jumps

A step-up, the take-off is lower than the landing, and you STEP UP to the landing... hence the name...

a step-over, the take-off lip is more or less level with the landing, and you just step over the knuckle if you know what i mean.

i think step-ups are nice, but they are nowhere as safe as a step-over, since if u come up without enough speed and you case it, you can come to a dead stop, which often= getting hurt
 
i would think a step UP would be the safest kind of jumo because you land at like your peak hight in the air. You don't really fall onto the landing.
