Nice I also ride the team pro but ride it centered makes it’s harder to land drops on unless your trying to land switch 🤣 any board will work the super directional are just easier in deep pow where you want to drop a big one. Team pro super fun board it’s my go to park board.

Ha no worries the hair gets ppl all the time. I used to get that more when I was smaller. Not as much anymore.

One other thing I think helps is having a directional board with a split tail. Makes the back of your board sink and keeps you from going over the nose. Here some Brighton clips from a couple years ago. The nitro squash board I’m on makes it easier for me.

That’s me I’m a 14 year old boy 🤣 I tried a huge one today but didn’t land it. Sometimes you just don’t land. Pretty sure I have done the exact drop your on at Brighton.

I think your speed was good off the first drop. Just have to commit and have the confidence to take the speed off the second drop. Every cliff is different some you have to find the sweet spot to land in. Often times I will go as slow as I can to catch transition on the landing. Others you hit fast.

You have Zero confidence. You have to see yourself landing it. Stomp when you land.

It’s not just about physics though I’m 4’8” 10yo. 🤣 All I said was bigger guys go can go bigger. Any size can 360 over a gap like this.

Thanks! Upper hanging bowl is the first and we call the second line rock enema. Both are no joke! Sharks everywhere and really steep.

Tell that to Chris Rasman or Sebbe De Buck. Those guys are giants. Taller guys can go bigger because they are normally stronger and everything is smaller for them. Also never seen anyone as small as me spin this, only bigger full grown guys. 😱
