Jumping Tip:
Most good skiboarders do this, and it is always a good thing to do. This little thing is speed checking before your launch off the ramp. To do this,
if you think you are going too fast, then go back and forth on your approach to slow down your speed. If you keep on doing this, you will soon
get the right speed you want, then you can concentrate on the jump itself and not the approach. |
