its not the air its the hang time, take baby steps you will know if its enough air


this is a old pic but i was doing a nothing and i did get back on all the way and landed fine, its all in how comfortable you are

ok the red should help a little the landing area and the angle im traveling i get about 10-15 yards from teh take off is that enough hangtime? im about 8-10ft in the air also

depends what the face is like. If its nice and curved to where you can have a steady, predictable preload off the face to launch you up then its plenty. I've done regular can's on jumps that launch you 3 feet in the air.

pull it off fast.... thats plenty of air, start off doing half the trick and if you feel you can pull it off go for it, just don't hesitate

thats true. i pulled my first one off a little bump at the sand pit where you would get only around 3 feet of air and maybe 6 feet out. tiny stuff but i figured whats the worst that can happen on a jump that small and i just went for it.

I still cant do a full can can but ive hit small jumps and got my foot over and landed that way. Im a little scared to try it on a bigger jump though because im not sure if I can get my foot back over.

Its not about how much air or n e of that its how much hang time you get. sometimes you can do small stuff on jumps that your comfortable on. then just work your way up tell you do bigger stuff. start small go big.

all you need to do is practice alot and you will start going bigger and get more comfortable.
