Quad = 4 jumps

Triple = 3 jumps

Because Math.

Riddle me this: if you jump a single mound to flat, is that a double or a single?

Thanks Emig for calling every jump on track a quad so we can have this life long topic brought back to life.

We can just keep making it up as we go. Pretty soon both triples and quads will have multiple genders

Geez you guys like to have a mouth full of words (What you're used to I suppose HEYooo! Yeah yeah just a joke geez)

I stand by that an 'on off' is a different obstacle than a table.. Sure they look the same still called a table but it's what it's surrounded by that changes it. (In a rhythm or on it's own)

1. You never jump onto from another single and off over another single with a normal stand alone table top. (Yes that should never be called a double)

2. Watch the Reed vlog from Cardiff, while standing in a rhythm with Brayton he says "I asked them what the length was of the table, and they said it's regulation, but it feels short" Now why would a 'table' need to be a regulation size?

3. You don't call whoops a series of small singles

In summation if you jump from one takeoff over a landing, over another take off/landing and land on the third landing option..
You got yaself a quad.. Plus what ML says

So if someone jumps four tabletops, did they quad it? Two tabletops means they doubled the tables?

Follow-up questions, while you guys are here. If there’s a single with a table after it that has a single on top of the table, if you land on the backside of the single on the table, did you double? And if you land at the end of the table (after the single), did you triple? Or would landing on the table but right before the single be a double, landing on the backside of the single on the table makes it a triple, and making it to the landing of the table make it a quad? And if you did land right before the single on the table, does that mean you double the table-single to the landing of the table? If you single then jump the whole table, did you triple since there’s a single on the table?

This is an excellent question. I vote "triple" for a tabletop with a jump built in the middle of it. There are three places to jump from, ergo three jumps. Triple jump.

If jumping to a third mound of dirt that is a tabletop, and you land ON the top, it would be tripling onto the tabletop. If clearing the third mound that is a tabletop, then you be tripling OVER the tabletop.

Calling that jump a quad quad at straight rhythm makes us look stupid as a sport. My wife who rarely watches what I watch, when asked about that, said it's a triple. She said why would they call it 4 jumps? It's three.

Yep. Repeat after me you math challenged spodes, 3 jumps = triple. 4 jumps = quad. Anything else is just stupid.

Why am I still responding to this thread. You guys...its not just dirt mounds. Its how you can navigate it. If you can use the middle tabletop to jump on-off and you skip it by jumping over the whole thing..its a QUAD. You have a double double and you jump all of it..QUAD. Step on is a double, step off is a double. Stop getting hung up on dirt mounds and lengths of the section.

This is how I view it. #1 I would call it a quad if I jumped all the way down. It's only 1 giant mound of dirt, but with specified landings carved into it.

#2 I would just call a double. It's a single to table, but it's not designed to land on top of, just safer if you would case it. It's a jump it all the way or don't jump it obstacle.

#3 I'd call a single to table with a double/triple option to it. It has a designated lip on top to land on for slower riders, and faster riders can clear the whole thing. I'd say "yea I tripled it" if I did it.

#4 I would call a step on step off. Double on, double off, clear the table, I'd say "I tripled it", and "I did the quad" if I jumped all the way to the final landing after.



#1 is just a tabletop. You can land anywhere in the middle, but there's no designated landing spot except the end. It's just a table. If I didn't clear it, I'd say something like "I'm only jumping about halfway down the table".

#2 is a tabletop with a double/triple option. It has a designated landing in the middle, so I would say "I'm just doubling it" or "I'm tripling it". It's not about distance, it's about designated/regularly used landings.

^You are bringing up a good point with irregular tabletops. In many cases, having stepped sections would indicate varying landing zones, and you could call them doubles or triples. The only difference for me is that, in your very first example, for instance, I'd call it a triple if you jumped the whole thing. The first landing is simply a tabletop, followed by two drops. The next landing after that would be like landing on another jump, i.e., a step-down double. Clearing the whole thing would be what I'd call a "step-down triple."

On a flat surface without extra obstacles, a tabletop is still just a single jump, no matter how many different places you can land on it.

"On a flat surface with out extra obstacles, a tabletop is still just a single jump" I agree

But there are extra obstacles, the single after it is included in the 'on off' there are 3 landing options with the on off obstacle!

I say tabletop on it's own single jump
Single before a tabletop I'd say something like double over a table
But (you hate that I started a sentence with but don't you? haha) that single after the table changes everything due to the options it brings and deserves the 'quad' name as it's risky to land on the THIRD landing option

A single is a jump to flat ground, it cannot be cased. Tables are not doubles or singles if they have a defined landing and consequences for coming up short. In this case the step on could be cased and is therefore not a single. It’s a quad in the same way that a table is not a single or a double. However, I have always referred to this as “tripling over.” I think we’re doing a pretty good job of nailing this down considering we live in a world where supreme court justices can’t define what a woman is.

^ Yessir. Five jumps is a quintuple jump. It would still be if one of those had a flat area on top.

If someone does a quad at the track and No one is there to see it, is it still a quad?

I say QUAD. But I could also say: if you have a SINGLE SINGLE TABLE and you say "he tripled over the table" , I would accept and understand it, even though I say its a quad over the table. Because its still "triple onto the table" so jumping over would be a quad. Again like McGrath says, it depends on how the section is able to be used. for OG: If you can't use the middle table and jump on off, then its basically a triple because there is no actual table top to use as a dual option.

 

QUAD

Edit: If the people that don't want to consider it a quad please start saying "Leap Frog Over Table" that would be great. Would really show the intelligence level..lol

Let's bring this back to the basics. What is a jump? It's dirt built up above the level ground that causes your bike to "jump" above ground level. Therefore, a double jump must be two jumps that have two separate takeoffs, where you could combine them into one jump by jumping the first jump and skipping the second takeoff. You could land on the downside of the second jump, or land past the downside. It's a double jump because there's two places you could jump. 

A tabletop is therefore a single jump. A step down is also a single jump. A table with a hump in the middle is a double jump with a stepdown. Not a triple as there are only two places to actually jump. 

A single to table step off to back side of a single is a triple as there are three places to actually jump. You could single and land before the table, jump the table, then jump the single after the table - three takeoffs = triple. NOT a quad. That's how I see it anyways Unsure

What if you roll the first jump roll up onto the table then off over the last single?

3 landing options

4 takeoff options

Quad
