Just wondering what you think is the best type of jump on a track. It's a tough call, but I think I like step ups the best, not really sure why but they just seem pretty fun, and standard tables are a close second. My least favorite is probably any jump with a blind landing, just because it makes me a bit uncomfortable jumping it the first time. Your thoughts? (Let's see who actually rides here. . .

I'm a horrible jumper tho, we never had any real jumps when we were kids, was all scrub riding... and then once I went past 6'3" I felt like all my forward and back balance went away!
The Shop
Before they "watered" down Gravity Cavity at Hardrock that jump was really cool. Especially coming out pinned zooming by the fence up top. Alas though, I never had the balls to hit the Water Tower jump. It was mental
That being said a nice long table is fun too.... Just pin it and hold on!!!!
My second Favorite Camel Back TableTops
Im a fan of no risk jumps haha
Pit Row
I like triple step ups and just the average triple. But I prefer the more rounded ones as opposed to the steeper ones. A little more room for error. Nothing like doubling something for a while then one day, on the way to the track, just throwing all your fucks out the window and being like "You know what, I'm gonna triple that bitch today. I'm tired of singling out." haha
Long, fast downhill doubles are pretty fun, too. Another favorite isn't really a jump, but steep uphills and downhills.
Downhill to a corkscrew 180 to an uphill kinda booter table.
There was a big single roller but they added a big takeoff about 30 feet in front of it on one side of the track so you could kinda huck over it.
There's a back-to-back table section at Albany to a big blind step down that reminds me of Steel City.
And like someone else said, pretty much anything out of a 180 or a tight corner where you have to really pin it to clear.
Theres 2 tracks in the area, Grande Prairie and Dawson Creek, both have wicked step-ups, feels so good to float them.
I've got no problems with big doubles once I've hit them and learned them, its just sacking up to do them the first time.....
I used to love the Chuck Sun jump when it was an actual jump. I am with Jeffo, uphill jumps or long (yet safe) tabletops.
I never got to jump Chuck Sun :/ I rode over it, but I was a fuckin goon then and couldn't hit it.
Back in 95' hitting the Chuck sun jump 250 INT class........
One of the upper down hills. #47 is Rick Huffman ( Ryan's older brother ) ....in 1999 250 INT gold cup race.
