brit-gob 9 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 What's the most air you can get, whether it be skiing or snowboarding? Come on boast about your amazing flying abilities. I'm keen on playing a bit more this coming season and trying to learn some new tricks and want some inspriration. (Different thing, but often wonder how guys go from small jumps to trying out those huge ski jumps). Link to post Share on other sites
excited 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Getting air looks like a ton of fun. It's one of the things I really want to be able to do quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
stepchild 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 i think david benedek just broke the 4second barrier on his snowboard on a specially designed uber-booter. bleeding long time if you think about it. Mads Jonsson's frontside 360 on the longest kicker in the world (think it was last season) must be a fair bit of air! he went on to break his hand doing a bs 7. nutter.

thursday 1 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think I scored about 0.54 seconds as I tested out my new helmet. Yes, it was a good buy. Didn't feel a thing as it hit the ice. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I know what feels good. I have no idea what time it is though. Feels long to me though. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 How do you measure your air? I would have thought the calculation in the head would be "actual air X 10". Link to post Share on other sites
fjef 0 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I have had hours of air time on skis. In my dreams. But its one dream I like to have even if the scenery is a repeat. I've had ski flying dreams since my first 'real' GS race when I was 15. Link to post Share on other sites
slimeypete 0 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I think the most air I have had at once was in a wipeout. Link to post Share on other sites
NisekoPancakes 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I think it will be more like minutes in my case. Link to post Share on other sites
snosurf 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 That's a funny question....does anyone ever take a stopwatch up the mountain with them and time how long they are in the air from take-off to landing? I think not... I suppose if you had it on film you coluld work it out. It's an interesting subject though: How much air you ACTUALLY get vs how much air you THINK you are getting.... What's more, a lot of people think that they can repeatedly speed-check on the run in and then seem surprised when they don't even make it half-way to the landing ramp and land on the flats. So how much air can I get? Not much... Link to post Share on other sites
