A REALLY big snowboard jump

I had it all worked out in my mind. Lots of speed. Front grab with left hand. Pilot chute with right hand. Spin 90 left to get square on-heading opening.

It didn't quite work out that way.

I rotated 90 degrees when i pulled... just 90 the wrong direction. So. Uh. The good news is I had an on heading opening. Uh. The bad news is that i was heading into the wall. Fortunately, I had launched away from the cliff enough to get it turned around in time.

Shane McConkey graded the jump a D+ and added: "Don't worry, a D+ is almost as good as an A"

Later, while studying the video he changed his mind. "Sorry, man, you corrected your heading too fast. I have to give you a C- "

That sucks. D+ is almost as good as A. C- is just C-.

Ill be back to work on my GPA.







I then came back a month later for the APOOPA event and made another jump... that has been called "The Biggest Tindy Grab Ever"

hmmmmmm that looks like you were flailing and that you were 1/10 second from a cliff strike... NOT SMART!!! you rotate to much reaching for your piolet chute. Becarefull don't be the next on the list

Amazing air bra
But hey, first and foremost, try & stay in the safe zone! That one looked kinda way out there!
Always examine each new jump with diligence and when taking calculated risks, consult your innermind :)
visualization techniques work wonders as well!
or do like me and switch to golf. Pretty good money and it's the ball that does the flyin, not you! lol

I love it! Could perhaps be a tad more polished, but it’s far better than what we use at the moment, nonetheless
