So every time you jump a table top do you call it a single jump or a double jump.

It's simple.  You don't count imaginary landing slopes.  If you did, you can "imagine" as many as you want, between here and there.  In that case, I clear sextuples all the time.

A table is a filled in double

A table is its own thing.  It has infinite landing points.  If you clear it clean on the downslope, it's still a single. 
 

Dig it out between, if you want to call it a double.

Should I start a separate Jett thread to find out if he's injured or not? People caring about the triple/quad thing so much? Oof

That initial reaction doesn't look good at all.

Was he waving his wrist in the air or is it flopping?

So if there is a single single table 

I think everyone agrees that to land on the table would be tripled onto the table?  (Landing on the table is the third possible landing spot).

and if that’s the case why is it an issue to call it a quad when you jump over the table landing on the downside? (Landing on the fourth possible landing spot)

being able to land on a table  (which isn’t possible with a normal single “mound of dirt”) is what changes it from a triple to a quad. 

triple onto the table….quad over the table…makes sense to me.

I call it a table...but it's just a single jump. I'm not jumping over two mounds of dirt, I'm jumping over one.

The look on Phils face after he first roast the people who can count and call it a tripple and then get told that the goat call it a triple to is priceless.

 

This is just another american way to hype something up so it sounds more badass then what it is. 
 

And it’s scary how the home schooled pro’s never got tought the difference between 3 and 4.

Bwhahaha!!! I’m sure most non-moto peeps out there comprehend the wheelbarrow comparison and now know exactly what racing a YZ450 feels like - especially if they have direct wheelbarrow experience from a recent mulch job in their yard.

Quad

So anytime a finish line has a tabletop landing, you call it a triple? I don't think so

A quad refers to four possible landings spots.
a double with a table afterwards is called a quad because you have four possible landings spots.  You can single, double, triple (which in this case is landing on top of the table) or clearing the table to the downside, which is the quad. It seems odd but thats become accepted in moto jargon

Correct.  However, the table being the FIRST jump in a rhythm, it should always be considered a single. By fist jump I mean using the table’s take off to clear following mounds of dirt  

but for Vital’s sake we can call the formation of 3 mounds of dirt, regardless of “landings” a triple and  if some of the, pound my chest guys, want to add proposed “landings” on three mounds of dirt, it can be forever called a “griple” (gripe+le).  Have fun!
 

Back on the rails

Hope Jet is OK

Jesus Christ people. Who cares whether it was a triple quad or double. 

The point of the thread - is Jett hurt?

Anyone have any new info?

We have a name for whoops, a name for a dragonback, a name for a triple, a double etc…

Why don’t we create a new name for a table top with 2 singles? This will save a lot of stupid arguing. 
 

I’ll suggest a name first…..The Jett. 
how to use it in a sentence:

-He just jumped the Jett. 

-Jett just cased the Jett and potentially injured himself. 
 

Anymore ideas? Let me know before I submit the name to the Oxford dictionary.

Mix between table and quad, I think its cute 😂

I think Quable is a better representation of this situation and the obstacle in question.

Someone’s gotta ask the OG quad god James Stewart what is defined as a quad or not for the definitive answer #stewable

Remember the time they interviewed Villopoto on the live broadcast and he said he would be racing Hangtown but then went MIA, had knee surgery, and disappeared to race the MXGPs...?
