DiMe Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Just curious how big the jumps on love are considered. I have bad size judgement when it comes to jumps I love them though, first time at boulder this season Quote
Kyle Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Just curious how big the jumps on love are considered. I have bad size judgement when it comes to jumps I love them though, first time at boulder this season the first one is small. about 15-20 feet. the next two are about equal at 25-35 feet. i'm also bad at judgement so anyone correct me if i'm wrong. but they arent as big as they look. theyre actually a little small Edited January 20, 2009 by Kyle Quote
poop Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 you basically need 0 speed if that helps to tell you how big they are. idk, like biggest might be 17feet? someone get a god damn rope out to measure! Quote

You definately need some speed for the last two at least the 2nd to last one. I knuckled it the first time I hit it because I hesitated a little and speed checked. Although I'm just starting to hit larger jumps such as these so I'm still getting the feel for judgeing speed to the size of the hit and quickly learning the faster the better. Quote
gdthomas Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 They are very easy to over shoot. They are pretty small but they pop you pretty good. Quote

I knuckled it the first time I hit it because I hesitated a little and speed checked. Woah, if i don`t speed check a million times before that one i overshoot. I`ve never even came close to knuckling that one but i`ve over shot it quite a bit of times when i thought i had no speed at all. You musta been there on a superduper slow day or something.. Quote
dw2430 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 yeah maybe a tiny bit of speed for the last jump but you dont need anything for the first 2 Quote
DiMe Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 yeah maybe a tiny bit of speed for the last jump but you dont need anything for the first 2 I feel like a twit than, I must have been going alot slower than I thought I was. I know if I didn't speed check before it I would of been fine though I landed right on the knuckle thought I was gonna snap the nose of my board off. Like I said still learning the whole speed to gap thing, I'm so used to small forgiving table tops. Quote
TT C6 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Damn. I'm glad I'm not the only one talking about jumps. I would like to know the measure size from lip to knucles as well. Regardless, I LOVE to ride LOVE. My favorite run in PA. I got to ride LOVE with Ectobar and his brother yesterday. Good times. Quote
