Jumping - Chris Zuchlag &
Turtle
Listen to the tip. (48kb)
Before you jump, you have to have a spotter. A spotter is someone who checks out your jump first. A spotter makes sure no traffic is in the area and that you are landing on a gradual grade, not on a flat grade.
As you approach a jump, check your speed, turn and slow down a little bit if you need to.
Here is what you do as you hit the jump.
1. Take off on a flat board.
|
2. Jump through with your hips.
|
3. Stay with the board in the air.
|
4. When you land, land flat.
|
Remember to take off flat and land flat. If you take off on an edge you will wipe-out in the air and if you land on an edge you will wipe-out when you land. When you land, remember to land flat.
