Smart move. Not everyone is as reasonable as Chuckie, and you may get a whingy bitch (like some who have posted on this thread) who is misguided enough to blame the builder of the jump for their own mistakes and subsequent injuries. Poor form from those who have publicly identified and slandered the builders, and indirectly taken jumps away from those who have pushed themselves to attain a high level of riding skill.
Nah i think i will disagree on the point "a jump is a jump". For a start the lander needs to be specific to the type of jump. A good example of this if you take someone that only rides DH and put them on dirt jumps they are gonna find it strange. I mean generally DH jumps you want to hit with max speed and they dont reall kick ya (well i mean i cant remember too many DH jumps that you break for). Dirt jumps allot of the time you will massively stuff it up if you hit fast and should be slower pump & lift more. BMX track jumps are also different as allot of these you need to hit fast and really pump. Likewise jumps out of a rhythm section are totally different. Anyway i aint an expert, but i do know that the lander needs to match the type of jump... and ofcourse the type of line that it is on.Definition for freeride jump doesn't existYou are funny. Jump is jump. It is about how you shape it. It its about radius, angle of lip and how long is it (bucle or not) acording that you just fly over or turn backflip. that is simple maths.
I still think we build it up good jump...
I just started scouting where will be best spot for roadgap over the shuttle road (from Oxford Falls site to Lizzy). Can I have approval from you guys?
I'm not well enough equipped either with skill or gear to go down Lizard Rock. I have been down the Oxy DH.
Freeride = ride anything anywhere (maybe anytime
) it means be able to hit the jump from angle 0 to angle 90 degree. Variety... etc. we have no definition. som big step-ups kickers have radius that you can do even backflip to step up... etc... have you seen 60ft gap on last RedBull Rampage?... and other man made stuff? there is no limit, no definition. Its about skills and fun (most important is fun).
Do you mean across Morgan Rd where the general public drive? Have you thought this through?
Think he is just kidding
Exactly Morgan Rd.
Derka Derka you are smarty pants aren't you
I will have a chat with him.
Definitely not you Chuckie
Mate, you've taken full responsibility for your own actions. If all riders had your attitude, there would be no lawsuits, no whinger hassles, and jumps would be as jumps should be. And lawyers would go broke, hooray!! All props to you Chuckie.
I have been slowly building up a library of trail building standards, designs and pictures from my time over here. I will have a look through what I have and see if there is anything that you might be interested in.
Not that it's much of a consollation, but in this case the builders might be tough to sue (successfully), since the claimant would have been trespassing anyway...
