Woah - the POV of some of these airs is awesome! Check out my friend and Best Team Rider James Ropner as he punts some big airs in California. He'll be up here in the Gorge soon enough!

I liked it, but Im getting tired of huge strapless airs with the landing cut out.. Its not hard to hit the lip full speed and ditch the board after the apex ...

Awesome jumps... One day I will understand how that board can stay clued to someone's feet while performing such high jumps with rotations...Until now, I will keep riding with my straps.
