Corner jump

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corner Jump Outline Sketch

A corner jump can be found in a wide variety of fun sports such as snowboard , skateboard , BMX , mountain bike etc. Basically, this constellation consists of a kicker and a landing as well as a straight jump or double , but these elements are not arranged in a line, but are at an angle (b) of about 60-120 ° to each other. The illustration makes this clear.

In order to jump a corner, you need the correct take-off angle (a) to the kicker and the correct speed to hit the landing correctly with the help of the 2 variable sizes. Thus, a corner jump is also somewhat more difficult than a straight jump , as it is dependent on 2 sizes, the take-off angle and the speed vector.

A jump like this is often found in slopestyle competitions. Also, skate parks and natural Erdanordnungen often offer the opportunity to fly over a corner jump.
