Thread: backyard park

  1. #1

    backyard park

    hey just thought id share some of the jumps i made in my backyard. ill get some action shots up when i get some ppl over.







    ill prolly have to extend the landings by a few feet depending on how much speed we can get. right now there around 10-15 ft depending what one you go off. if anyone else has anything in the backyard post some pics.

    today i extended the landing on the right jump. measured both from the top of the jump to the top of the landing and got the left one to be just shy of 14ft, and the right one is 18ft. hopefully the storm coming in will make the "stopping area" a little softer, right now its as hard as concrete. ill get some updated photos up tonight or tomorrow.

    snow that is stacked up on the actual hill. cant really see the whole run in but it gives you enough speed to clear the jumps fairly easily.



    this is showing the far jump which tops out at 22ft if you land at the bottom of the landing, 18ft at the top.



    hopefully have some action shots soon

    today was the first day jumping. they were great. a lot bigger than last years. both jumps were fairly easy to clear. the right one needing a little more speed and pop. the left one almost gives to much pop. tried my hand at a 360 as well. almost got it. i came soo close but i could never ski away from it. tomorrow maybe. might be having a night session with some friends so i should have pics by then.
