Why when I hit a tabletop on my skis it slows me down like a mother, but I see snowboarders hitting them all day long and not losing any speed...

Whats the deal?

 
hit it faster, and dont treat the jump as a mogul, dont absorb the takeoff, push off of it, but most of all hit it faster

LD CREW REPRESENT!!!
 
I think the taking the jump not like a mogul is prolly my problem, 'cause I normally hit em going pretty quick, definatly faster than most the boarders...

 
no were not all puss's, but if u lose a lot of speed ur probly not landing right, try to land forward with ur hands out in front, then once ur solid get right back into a tuck or whatever u do to get speed

 
never hit even a jump before...any pointers?

right, first time hitting a jump, find something small, and make sure there are no rocks or trees or anything else painfull where you are going to land..... after that, hit it and keep your hands in front of you for balance...... watching other ppl helps alot

i see...well, i just watched tanner hall in happy dayz. i saw him do a d-spin 1080...i think i could do that one pretty easy. do i just sit back and spin real hard?

DO NOT try a d-spin 1080 your first time hitting a jump, what are you crazy? those are pretty hard, try doing a d-spin 720 your first time, THEN you can work your way up. Also when you go to try rails, the longer ones are always easiest, you should find one in your local city too, that way people in the park dont laugh at you either. It also helps for your first rail if it has as many kinks as possible, as kinks help you maintain your speed.

i woulden't be able to tell you, i'm having trouble with my 3's right now..... but straight airs are always fun

ok...well, there is this rail that is like 45 degrees. 4 kinks. like 50 feet long. i think i will do it when we get snow...they look easy in videos

anyone know how i could get ahold of like pep or someone like that? i think they could teach me well...and i bet they could get me free skis cuz they are sponsored

hahahaha aiight dude enough sarcasm... the newbies are getting confused.

I think that it is funny that a person with more that 1000 posts is asking for advice on hitting jumps for the first time. But I think that it is funnier that people are actually taking him seriously.

 
hahaha, i think they're gettin confused for real

U fucking faggots tryin to steal my thread???

NONE of your bitches hit the tables??? SPIN ON DA TABLES??? GOD DAMN...

Enuf with your pussy straight airs... GO HOME if you cant do that shit yourself...

BAck to the real question. I tend to stomp the table, like I do a normal jump and I guess this is what slows me down... I will try and glide the landing tommorow. ANY advice on doing tricks on Tables guys??

 
the fact that he has more then 1000 post isn't that funny but the fact that hes a pro skier is...

I don't know who this Andy kid is. And what's with those gay ass stars around his name? Why do all you little posers get on here and think that you can ski all of a sudden? Maybe you should go try the bunny hill first you fucking half-pint gaper grom.

 
hey...fuck you CAT....i seen you ski before, and i can turn better than you can...go back to your little cat house fucker.

dude maby its just you, just try difrent things, the only way somone could help you is if they used to do that and just because hes good at skiing doesn't mean that he knows what the hell is wrong with you

'Joyride Flims'
 
heres an idea...get out of your snow plow, and let your skis point straight and parallel?

Now you're giving advice...mister never hit a jump? Keep talkin little boy. You're just jealous cuz I'm the alley-cat that gets all the kittens. You wish you could set foot in my cat house.

 
now...ive had my fun...mr tical, go ahead and check my pics in my profile. but i must warn you, i suck...

so...ya...i guess this thread is now dead

sounds like a cat fight to me

anyway... i have what might be a really stupid question... i used to think that a table was a jump whose lip was even with the flat section, but now i'm fairly sure that tables can have a lip and then drop off a couple feet before the flat. what is a true table?

'Are you guys going jump tricking on the snowboard ramps?' -My friend's, less new school oriented father

 
ah...i just call any built jump with the landing straight to the jump a table...stepdown is the true name of the jump being higher...but i wouldnt worry about it

hahaha, del gato...what the hell, if you KNEW who you were talking to...andy is a god.

joey: whats that?

me: i dunno

Joey: me either but it's comin back!
 
man now look at what i walked into trying to be nice and help you out. Sorry, but being new to the site i thought i'd offer my advice, but, well fuck that

OK OK... I think I see the problem here... I am not talking about tabletop jumps!!!! I am talking about funboxes.... MY BAD!!! I just call those little bitches, tables...

Does that clear things up a bit??

 
wow, I realy had no idea what you where talking about and I still don't realy have a clue? do u realy need to keep your speed on those anyway?

I was thinking that wax might be a problem also... My bases got pretty fucked by the box...

Thanks Rapotor

 
Don't stomp on it. that will be slowing you down. Try sliding it. If you are coming down on it and stomping on top of it than that means you are catching too much air onto it.

Just slide it.

AHAHAH! That was comical. Especially you talking shit to Andy and then not knwo what the difference between a funbox and table were.

haha, oh man that's funny. not that you called a box a table, just the confusion it caused. man, good times. just hit it faster, i dunno. why you need to go fast? do what kevin (lovetoski84) does: go real slow straight on, turn to 90 and stall, continue to 180, fall over and lay down in a nice little pose and take a nap. It's the 90-to stall-to late afternoon nap, steeziest trick in the book

be aware, ski with care

'doyle's got a boner and wants to stick it in your ear'
 
lol... I would be talking shit too, saying shit 'like get out the snowplow', if someone said they were losing speed on a jump :) My bad yall.

But yea, so I think if I was going slower, I might have stalled on that bitch too. I hopped on and got an immediate slow down, so I like shoved my legs forward and jumped off the lip.. But intially when landing on the box, I lost like 40% of my speed. I think it is prolly my edges being sharp and maybe a fresh layer of wax might help, Ive been cheating and using the rup on shit...

 
no problems...i gave the first idea that came to mind...are you talking about sliding the box like a rail? you may be on your edges too much. maybe try to keep your skis flatter on the box, so its more slide, then...cutting...ya know?

That was pretty good,

And nexxt time i see some kid stopped ontop of a 'box'

ill think of you Mr.tical...

I tell you what the hell linechick..haha..just kiddin..Andy's my little cousin. We just figured we'd spice things up a little.

 
andy's my forbidden love, as long as hee keeps doing 450 ons to 270 outs.

and tical, maybe you just suck, ever thought of that?
