The furthest single jump I have managed is 161m, how far can you jump?

What are your tips for getting a good distance? Is jumping at the beginning or end of the red area better?

The furthest I've jumped is 377. The key is to get that speed up to 50 & over and when you extend the knees out to balance, make sure you hold completely still.

Wow 377 is amazing! The furthest I have jumped is 210. The weird thing is on my first go ever I got that and now I just can't seem to get anywhere near it, even though my balance is better after a few months with it. Maybe I should just keep trying and hopefully get better ;)

377? I think thats a combined score for the two jumps

Best I have done is 170 for a single jump and 320 for two jumps.

Its about trying to keep the blue dot on the right hand side covering the yellow dot as you speed down the ramp by bending the knees and leaning forward then extending the legs in the red zone and then most importantly holding your position as stil as possible in the air. The slightest wobble during this phase causes you to loose distance.

I have found the knack is to resist the urge to use your arms as waving them about causes you to wbble and loose distance . if you keep them still down by your side it seems to help.

377 must be the combination of two jumps. If it was single, you would be landing in the clubhouse. I have gotten 374 for two jumps.

Son and his girl friend came around last night and she managed a single jump of 194 metres !!11 ( after a little coaching)

Its definitely about getting speed and after launching keeping very still all the way through the flight. the slightst movement on the board reduces the distance.

My furthest jump was 98 meters, and my moms furthest was 122 meters which surprised me.
