    yeah, based on the experience of others, it seems it's more of a balls thing than a skills thing. I was preoccupied with the dropness of it all though. Happy_gilmore's helmet footage of that part of flow should tell you what I though as I rolled up to the drop area :lol: by next season I'll have tons more riding under my belt and I'll be ready for some of that stuff.

    last year i had ridden more and i didnt hit it... i made a comeback and roade a few times in the past 6 months, and just came out and hit it... i think the fact that i was on the glory dh played a huge role

    When I play hockey I use these

    They are way more comfortable than straps on your legs. If you are going wear motopants these might work for you too.

    that video is pretty dang funny chuck...I love how the cliff is a little exaggerated by the fisheye, so it looks like this crazy steep face. Unless it's actually that steep, I never slowed down long enough to look :?:

    No exaggeration, there's approx 300 foot elevation drop from the corner to bottom at cloud nine chair.
