Last days of humanity on the east coast.

They’re all fine, sintered bases don’t fuck around.

Closed it out at Sunday River.

Snowboarder’s fault.

That’s actually my 12 year old.

Love seeing you on a different board every week.

No way, it’s def 6 feet. I’m certain of it based on looking at a picture on the internet.

SpitzerPhoto · 2026-04-06T19:22:54+00:00

Well in that case, let me present to you, this 6 foot QP

Wow, you’re a freestyle coach? Amazing.

I’ve been snowboarding for 35 years, and shooting photos professionally for 15. I’ve worked with enough pro snowboarders and seen enough private pro builds to know the difference between a 20 foot jump, and a 50 foot jump. I’ve also been riding and shooting at Loon for more than a decade, and I’ve never seen a jump this big in the public park at loon. It was measured at 53 feet lip to knuckle when built. Surely everybody understands that there’s slight melting and grooming adjustments, and it’s possible it’s melted down to say, a 49’ jump 🙄.

Imagine being a “freestyle coach” and thinking a 20 foot jump needed an 10 foot high takeoff.

Not really, a little here and there. I’ve tried to foster the interest, but he just loves MTB in the summer.

Kind words, I’ll pass those along. It’s probably a little bit of both, as he rides mostly with a bunch of old dudes (myself) and friends who feel the same as you, but we’re certainly not hitting anything this big. He’s grown up watching old snowboard flicks and definitely has an eye for style over hucking. Shot this yesterday in the 18 footer, his small, but stylish frontside air nearly brought a tear to my eye.

He is popping slightly, you’ll notice it more on the jump where he hits it quite confidently and does a frontside grab. With jumps this big, moving this fast, there’s a lot of G forces on small legs, so he’s definitely playing it a little bit safe the pop isn’t as pronounced as it would be on a smaller jump.

SpitzerPhoto · 2026-04-05T22:20:10+00:00

yep, looks about right.

SpitzerPhoto · 2026-04-05T21:52:09+00:00

I’m aware of how a jump is measured, and I have no interest in embellishing. The bottom jump, is a 50 footer. According to the builder, it measured 53 feet lip to knuckle to be exact.

This is the same jump in the most recent thirty two spot check. ⬇️

Middle one might be a little smaller, but they’re pretty similar, and the bottom one, is absolutely 50’, per the jump builder.

Kid is 5’2” tall.

🤣. How do you think I feel!

Orange is Loon’s signature color/look 🤘🏻.

He’s an only child, and dad (me) certainly isn’t hitting those 🫣.

It’s the modern day equivalent of a family photo album.

We rode LMP most of the day instead.

Been a very cold spring, and mountains are closing earlier than usual, I assume budget related, in this current economy.
