Stanky13 - i watched this a long time ago but never really payed any attention to it since i was no where near the jumping level. now i can see myself going fast enough to catch a little air off of certain hills and experimenting in the baby park. so i will put these tips into use on tuesday during my next visit

vfrdude04 - How to you hit and land air on a half pipe? Ive never tried it, but it seems like it'd be hard because of the edge at the top.

Omitson - Most of those ramps taken look like a bit more then basic air. The techniques described all apply to the very basic jumps nonetheless! Very nice video.

dougfagel - The cup is to protect you from ski poles.

snowmass - i am not sure how a cup would save you. but the falling on knees and then arms is definitely going to help me this year. my local mountain just opened

aznshortguy - sick video. i always wanted to try to get some air, but i didnt know how to land and that there was so much involved. even though you didnt really say how the board should be oriented to the ground, i could see it clearly in the video. thanks doug!

dougfagel - TunnelSnake01 - You need to KNOW that you are going to hit the landing when you hit any jump. This comes in part from experience and using your head when hitting any feature. Know the needed speed and pop for every feature. This can be learned by watching and pacing other riders hitting a feature.

TunnelSnake01 - Thanks for the vids Doug, they're really helpful. Quick question tho - I've started getting smaller airs down but I worry about hurting myself in the act of chasing longer hang time. Any tips on building up confidence?
1149 days 42 minutes ago

dougfagel - Great!! It does have to do a lot about mileage and quality practice. As jumps get bigger your window for needed movements gets smaller. Make sure to practice precision in your movements.

JandJBlks2k - Doug, you're awesome dude! I've been trying to do the jump since last season..but would always land on my behind! this year, I finally got it down!! that extra few secs on a flat board really do make a diff..Just have to gain more confidence and speed for more air! Thanks again!
