colin13 Active member Apr 3, 2008 #6 i think any jump can be called a "kicker". the first one looks more like a step up/over sort of jump while the second is more cheese wedge-like

Canuker Active member Apr 3, 2008 #9 I posted this like a minute ago and i already have 5 replies, yay!! and thanks for the help, btw is it normal to have a harder time keeping control on a kicky jump as aposed to a floaty jump?

three6steeze Member Apr 3, 2008 #10 yes, it is. It sounds kind of weird but popping off the lip as hard as you can will help you keep control no matter what type of jump it is.

paulbunyan Active member Apr 3, 2008 #20 its true i like popy jumps (with a nice steep landing) because i find it easyer to spin or keep control in the air
