I guess I can go big? depends on the terrain, up in the mountains where theres lots of snow, I can go pretty big.

if its hardpack, I dont like to jump to much, it tends to brake things.

I've gone 100+ and loved every second of it. There comes a point when you jump big enough that everything gets quiet and it's like you are in orbit. Strange and wonderful all at the same time.

O I totally agree! I didn't realize you meant by choice thats all. You wont catch me doing those either!

I hate the do or die jumps!!! HATE THEM ALL!!

They need to be outlawed!

Ahh, you can make a safe double -- well a lot safer anyway. I love a good double myself.

The longest I'd say is maybe just over 50. But I don't dare go much further than that.
