At what heights do you normally go?
Would you say you usually average 20' or 30' airs? What about 40'? Are heights of 50' and 60' just not typical or common? I've seen some impressive jumps in video's that seemed to approach those heights; but it's really hard to tell.

I'd say that, by far most people are jumping on average under 20 feet. Remember it'll feel a lot higher, and that you really have to take off the feet that your eyes are above your board....unless inverted

Normally I go at 10 feet or less, and ONLY if it's Number One. For Number Two it's strictly ground level or nothing. You have to be considerate of the poor bastards down below you.
