And, I think there needs to be a corner before the jump. Its to hard to grip in without falling.

Hey there,

Just been testing it... appart from being able to pull a 10 second wheelie (which is fucking incredible, went from 1st to 5th holding and dropping the gas... :shock: ), the best whip i go to pull wasn't all that nice we all like.

What I mean is, there are different types of whips, and everyone will want to pull a different one from the ones seen before...I.E: I come out and do a 180 whip, alright pretty nice, now the next guy comes out and does the same thing..? I myself find it stupid to be honest.

In my honest opinion there should be like 5 ramps, each with a different angle or form, optimized to pull good whips. I hope you guys aren't trying to pull out the minimum sacrifice to do the Xgames.. I mean we should do this the best we can, if we do, we will keep and keep doing it year by year.

Anyways, continuing with my opinion, appart from the 5 ramps or so, different landings ( same rule applies to this one ), a well done enviroment, and if posible even a stadium, maybe Wilson's LA Coliseum he's making? I'll try to take care of that, anywhat, Kawa. I think you could also put some measurement stripes on the floor or maybe even some objects for each ramp, to know what the perfect place is to start hitting the gas, I'll help you with that, that would make it easier and add a touch of class hahah, anyways, I've run out of ideas for now.

Another thing I've thought after seeing the wheelie I pulled on that nice flat land kawa put, maybe there should also be a Best Wheelie contest? same thing as I said to Kawa, paint some black stripes or put some objects, and have them measured somehow. I think that would also be a nice competition.

You guys tell me what you think and maybe I could take care of the Best wheelie competition, although it would have to wait for a week since it's my town's parties.

Kind regards,
Judge.

I'll try my best,i cant promise perfect things..
And for 5 ramps,i dont know. Everyone has different styles,not everyone can pull big whips and stuff.
How much should we have riders in the comp? In real XGames they invite people right?

Yup. But some of them say no. So they find a replacement. I think some people apply. But it may be my head now. But the people who have helped, I have sent a pm to you, they should be in no matter what. (Not just becase im in there. And ive barely done anything except test, see whos doing it, and tried get someone to help)

But I think thats what we should do. And I agree with Judge.

Is someone making the actual step-up jump? I know that Alex was modeling the pole, but I never read the other posts. If no one is making it, I would be willing to do so.

i know im a bit late nut on kawasakis jumps i think they need to be a little taller and a little steeper and maybe a bit wider so i dont have to come in at an angle cause i turn a little on the face when i lean but the landing is good and distance i think is a little long but other than that its pretty good on how it rides idc how it looks really

Check out the freestyle area at Bonickers Farm, I think those jumps are really nice for pulling whips. Especially the two jumps you can ride back and forth non-stop, like jump - 180 - another jump - 180(hopefully you know what I mean). Cannot test kawa's jump right now because I don't have a controller with me, so can't say anything about that :(
