The photo is the kicker at the season final of Oze Tokura.
Kicker size ... It's called a 15-meter kicker or a 10-meter kicker.
Well, it's normal to say the length of the table part.
At camps, I'll start with the kicker's terminology.
There are quite a few things I can't hear or didn't know about!
So, this time I noticed this season with the size of the kicker.
I arrived this season
"The kicker is more of a shape than a size"
.
It's quite natural to hear this much, but it's very important.
For example 1080.You have to make three horizontal rotations.
No matter how you think about it, those who have been flying for a long time can go around a lot in the meantime, right?
Then, if the kicker is big, will it only turn big?
Well, there was a difference.
From the moment you exit the kicker's lip to the moment you land
Let's count the number of seconds as 0 ・ ・ ・ 1 ・ ・ ・ 2 ・ ・ ・.
The kicker that takes less than a second is Pocojan, but
Actually, there are quite a lot of kickers, large and small, that have a flight time until the first half or the second half of the 1 second range.
This is what I felt when I started to get serious about double cork.
"At first, I don't know the visibility well, so let's adjust the rotation by time. If you can fly as long as the Kings kicker, you should be able to use the same rotation speed."
I thought, so I often jumped and counted the time in my head during check jumps.
Then ...
For example, the big kicker in Oku-tadami that I went to in the spring of this season has a liner shape and high speed, so the flight time is in the low 1 second range.
On the other hand, Obuse Kings takes about 1.7 to 8 seconds. (Clearly it exceeds 1.5 seconds, but it does not reach 2 seconds. By the way, there are individual differences in flight time.)
The table length of Obuse is about 11 meters.
On the other hand, Oku-tadami's big is 18 to 20 meters class.
The size is completely different.
It turned out that the R shape and climbing condition of the lip, and the head condition from the peak in the air to the landing point, can be used to perform great tricks regardless of the length of the table.
By the way, even if you watch the video of the kicker of the overseas major tournament, it is about 20 seconds in the 2-meter class.
Occasionally, it may be a monster kicker or a monster flying distance that clearly flies for more than 2 seconds!
So, if you try to earn a flight time with a small size, the lip is quite up.In addition, the head of the lip and the table must be set, and if the landing slope is not set more than necessary, the impact of landing will be too strong and it is very dangerous.
That's why the indoor XNUMXm kicker can do what the mountain kicker XNUMXm kicker can't do.
Therefore, the kickers who have exceeded the flight time of Obuse Kings throughout the season are all kickers with a size of XNUMX meters or more.
So what I mean is
In the middle of the night (3:27 midnight) What am I doing?Go to bed early! !!
That is.
Good night.
