How *not* to hit a snowboard jump

I didn't get this jump, at the snowpark in La Rosiere, France, exactly right... I was trying to stay right-way-up the whole way thorough!

I got away with just a few minor cuts. I had been doing the smaller jump to the right absolutely fine for two or three days, so I thought I'd give this one a go. I suspect I just panicked due to going faster and the ramp being more vertical than I expected.

At least he cleared it.

Well nobody can claim he didn't land it, maybe he was just pulling the "panicking whilst upside down" manoeuvre.

@killjoysxe clearly that comment was not intended for people who are spinning off jumps like that, they probably already go their technique down reasonably well ; )

@baychae same thing happened to me off around same size jump, mine was 35 ft kicker, anyway i got away with a fork wrist that needed to be surgically reattached into place, and a metal plate... but thats not all... I also ended up with 2 months of physio therapy for a torn LCL...

Boy do ik how that feels t thought I broke my back when I landed straight on my ass of the last run of my year last year

@PavePaws what if you're doing a front spin then you ALWAYS go off the heel edge.
