So even though it looks like 260ft, it’s really only 254…got it. Guess I’ll have to send it. Please do more of these! You are as good describing and teaching as you are sending cliffs! As someone who strives to be doing what you’re doing in a few years, this stuff is massively helpful. I have such a hard time getting consistent on jumps. Some I can send perfect, others I feel likely to flip.
The skill-level deconstruction of your approach is fascinating. Depending on how much time you have to devote to such things, more technical breakdowns of specific jumps could be a fun way to drive traffic from your Instagram to RUclips...
Personally I really need to focus on the arms forward part because I usually Windmill and it brings my center of gravity up, in addition to causing a flailing motion 😅
Step One: Find a jump. Step Two: Jump off of it. Step Three: There's no step three. Quite jealous of skiers like the aptly-named Mr. Leeper. Have zero ability to recall where the ground is once I leave it so do not catch air. Intentionally. Happens by accident. Will remember the point about punching my hands forward if becoming airborne by mistake. Thank you, keep it up. It's very inspiring to see people with ability do what they do.
@@skimunster4639 hey my guy, actually i searched up this comment bcause i knew a friend of mine commented, so i wrote under it as a joke because i knew it was him. So sry im only 14 i dont think we are able to ski together. But nice to see such friendly people like you not only jerks in the internet. Have a great season and enjoy your vacation in Bavaria👌
For me, they were definitely good for practicing a proper n strong pop that gets you leaning forward enough for a jump. It's always been deceptively hard to remember to pop when I was on a big drop because of fear. I remember I had a bad habit of either popping too late, popping just a tiny amount and pulling my legs in (which is good if the take off is particularly steep), or not popping at all on anything over 10 feet, especially if conditions are icy. I used to freeze up, panic, and lose focus. It may not hurt if you mess up a lil on such a drop, but a cornice drop with a steep landing forces you to do it, cause if you don't, you wipe out on your ass. You can also do park jumps if they're of a reasonable size. They can also better help you train for air time.
exactly. An d the lack of rock makes it a lot less intimidating, even though a good size cornice drop can be bigger than smaller rock drops. Also you usually have a nice steep transition under a cornice.
Depending on the height i still check the depth at the resort. If it's small and it snowed 10" overnight, you can be pretty sure there is at least 10" in the landing. I usually hit it small first, then go bigger if it worked out. Good Luck.
How big a toll does this take on your knees? I'm keen to get into some cliff jumps but my knees already get sore sometimes after just a few days skiing with barely any drops, obviously if you mess up and flop that could definitely damage them but what about if you land well on a steep slope, does it still wear on your knees a lot? Or not too bad?
You have to protect yourself and only do things like this when there’s FRESH POWDER, you won’t even feel the landing😁 Make sure the snow isn’t hard packed or ice where you want to land, go where the snow is untouched, once there’s tracks on a rock or cliff the landing is already stomped out and no longer soft
Do you have any tips for someone who can hit 15-20 footers but is looking to hit bigger sized cliffs? I just don’t know landing technique for those much bigger jumps and don’t want to get hurt.
Be sure you are physically ready for it and learn how to keep your balance, even at high speed. Then drop (it's mostly mental), find friends to drop with you and to pressure each other. Finally, just have fun ! (IMO)

Hit a drop today that I was psyched about, it’s the best felling ever!!! Yewww!!!!
You should make a video like this focusing on the larger cliffs, ie. 30+ feet. I think that'd be really helpful
YES
That would be really helpful to still break most of our spinal cords

Please do this I’m trying to learn to hit bigger jumps so i need this
Thank you! Excellent tips!
Very helpful - thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck if you decide to start jumping cliffs
This is awesome, definitely worth the sub.
Awesome, thank you!
I love your vids
Awesome post from the best! Thanks, Owen!

So cool, wish I were u
I dont know why i watched this because i already can 30+ feet but i learned some nice tips (Thanks!)
Absolute Legend!
Nice tutorial
Thank you!
I did a five foot drop In the 20-21 season and I’m hoping to hit 20ft this season
Nice! Good luck
i LOVE THE AGGRESSION
@@O_leepsI did a 25+ foot cliff yesterday and finally achieved my goal
@@federalmayhemI did it
@@TruettD Nice work!

I hope you foot heals well and we get to see some awesome videos in Winter or spring
Hey my guy, wann go skiing some time? Im from Bavaria like you so it would be a pleasure. Hyped for this season🤠
@@xavesxerxes8372 I don't know you but hell yeah
@@xavesxerxes8372 Hey I am going to Take a Trip to Bavaria this Winter U wanna skiing together?

@@xavesxerxes8372 hey man is skiing still possible in bavaria? I have the tickets but it's already may so idk
Very cool bro
My jaw hit the floor when he pushed the pole down into the snow 20 inches lol
Hit my first cliff at vail today and it felt good.
You are the God walking on the earth
It is also fun to practice off a cornice.

is there going to be a montage of this years skiing?
hey dude sick video! some awesome tips! in your comments there are some weird comments you might want to check out
Thanks, damn spammers
@@O_leeps Yah I get them on my videos too, no problem.
“It’s never as big as it looks” that’s what she said
make more content plz
Is this from this last springtime?
I wish it was today, but you're right
How come I don't feel comfortable turning left while turning right seem natural when I'm skiing?
Thank you 20new subscribers, and I am grateful for that. Thank you very much, my brothers
What do you do if you're in a resort, and checking the depth isn't very realistic?
Depending on the height i still check the depth at the resort. If it's small and it snowed 10" overnight, you can be pretty sure there is at least 10" in the landing. I usually hit it small first, then go bigger if it worked out. Good Luck.
Thanks! I've been trying to drop some bigger cliffs inbounds, so this was really useful!
@@phin422 good luck!

Un poco de todo
Looks fun. Jealous as usual
did he say he does 90-foot cliffs?
Watch my edits!
this is the first time I heard someone say in full seriousness: "it's never as big as it looks..."

If ur landing at a steep angle with momentum you should be all good
You have to protect yourself and only do things like this when there’s FRESH POWDER, you won’t even feel the landing😁

My friend and me were skiing and then we got hit by an avalanche i fell of a 90 foot cliff luckily I didn't break anything somehow.
Lol start on 1 foot drops, me starts are 2 feet right after hitting 8 foot drop lol
that’s not 15 feet
Do you have any tips for someone who can hit 15-20 footers but is looking to hit bigger sized cliffs? I just don’t know landing technique for those much bigger jumps and don’t want to get hurt.

Be willing to die or do small jumps :D
Fall over and plop like he said after a few plops you'll get it
@@tomkenny5864 just gotta make sure you go plop and not splat
@@ethayer1 plop splat no real big difference as long as you fall over Ub alright
