Probably should have measured that better...

Don't worry, I think the snow bank is ok

In these videos they always say "are you okay?" before the pain receptors have even had a chance to respond.

The thing with jumps like this is that you always need more speed than you think you do.

If you're approaching the jump and you think you're going too fast, you're probably at about the right speed.

In general, overshooting is preferable to undershooting

I am absolutely terrible at golf for this exact reason; among others.

This isn't always the case, I had a friend who hit a jump on a ski hill with too much speed... he cleared the slope and landed on the flat below. Snapped his left femur, *cringe*.

Yeah, done that (the landing on the flat, not the broken femur). That sounds pretty unpleasant.

I still stand by my statement though, especially in the case of something like this where you're trying to clear an obstacle. It's a lot easier to scrub off a bit of speed at the last minute than to accelerate to clear the road!
