  1. I'm tired of seeing these lame competitions with no real skill needed.
    Time to throw down with what were gonna call the "Crazy Jump
    Competition".

    The rules are simple:
    Whoever busts out the sickest gap/ups/downs whatever it is, wins the
    comp. It doesn't have to be the biggest, just the craziest jump out of
    them all.

    Now I know a lot of you think you got this one in the bag and I like
    that, but remember that it all comes down the the gnarliest one, not
    the "safe but hard" one.

    So get out there and do it!

    Oh yeah and I guess they'll be some kind of trophy for whoever
    wins....but I don't know how to make those things so...yeah whatever

    I understand alot of you guys are waiting for snow to melt and all that
    so if needed when can push the date. That's why I put "a month?", but
    not much longer than a month

    I hear that a lot of people ARE waiting for snow, I just meant that I
    still can ride that well yet! I'm still learning, but I'll see where
    I'm at in a month!

  8. hm, sounds like there should either be a set of about 3 or more judges
    to determine the winner, or maybe a poll.

    I'm up for it, even though I'm GOING to lose, unless I can figure out a
    wicked jump during my camping trip.

  10. This is a good idea. I'll defently enter if I can find something narly
    to jump. I don't wanna go for something with a big drop because I
    sprained my ankle a while ago and its still not completely normal, when
    I land hard on it it gets really sore and I'd probably end up breaking
    it or something. But I might try another gap like on top of some
    trains or something, if I can find a crazy one.

    I agree. Maybe we should have a Best Crash Competition too. Not just a
    UPD. A proper CRASH!!:eek: Not that I want to encourage Jackass type
    shenanigans. Filmed whilst actually trying something that goes horribly
    wrong.

  15. Well, i cant do much for ups, or downs for that (4 maybe 5 feet at the
    most for downs) but, i guess i'll throw some balls at stuff and get it
    on tape. I got some balls for risky things, minus unispins (i nutted it
    once, once bit twice shy). I might be riding along with some skater
    friends.

    Encouragement to anyone that doesnt think they can do stuff sorta, i
    enter in competitions for the sake of entering. I was in a snowboard
    comp on dec 1st of this winter, dont know where i placed, i didnt even
    stay for prizes (there was a snowstorm at the time). All i really
    wanted to was hang out and have fun, and be able to say 'I did that!'
    Oh!, by the way, i got a trixy bandana out of it too! lol. Sweet
    looking thing!

    But, whatever, i'll give it some balls and try and do crazier stuff. Im
    workin on some stuff now at the moment. I got 40 or 50 some pallets out
    back, i might set up something to gap, if the snow melts that is...

    Luck to all!

    free, they needed to get rid of em.

    The best way to learn is to try something thats just beyond your
    ability and practice till you can do it. Isn't that how we all learn to
    ride in the first place.
    If someone is stupid enough to try something like a rolling 720 unispin
    down a 10 step and land on a 2" rail then the least they can do is let
    us laugh at their misfortune.
