haha, wow. I promise never to measure jump angles. ever. Those kickers are perfect for what we're doing today.... hosting an intermediate bump gathering where prizes will be given from sweet sponsors. they are as is so that some one new to the game can roll over, toss a twister and continue on down the lines. if a good skier or rider is truley good, they will adjust accordingly and dominate the field, smiling as they do so.

btw... imo... the FIS ruins fun.

The FIS part was a joke, but it's impossible to do anything where you drop a tip on those, despite the fact that the hang time is enough to throw a daffy twister. Let people come up a little short of the landing area, it won't kill them. Roll the knuckle over so it's easier, or make it a step up if you want to make it easier for people coming up short. But if you get someone who doesn't get a good read for the jump or, under competition conditions, goes bigger than they normally would, overshooting the landing area isn't out of the question. More kick makes the jump safer by reducing the speed at which people land and making the landing area effectively bigger.

I like Jarrod.

So do I. But those kickers are dangerous.
