I thought it would be fun to have a Big Air contest its only open to FBHQ members and the winners will be chosen on this thread by a consensus of the other posters.
Judging: AIR: Height is 50% Style: Trick is 50%
Rules: One trick posted here on this thread Vert only ( doesn't have to be on a ramp) no intro ,no outro doesn't have to be a new video, just editing down an old video is fine
Prizes: 1st Black Polyurethane bearing wheels 2nd White Classic Td style bearing wheels
DATES: Begin sending videos Now All videos in by December First Judging over by December Fifth

Taylor y'all can use web cams or phones for the video, Don't worry about the quality to much ,it's just us judging it Yes any trick just make it vertical i.e. If you have a ramp use that to get some air and do a trick if you don't have a ramp just use any obstacle ( sink, bowl,kicker anything) Just try to make it "Not Flatland" My Example
Also, Technically right now I'm in First and Second Place

Are grabs allowed or just flips?

If grabs are allowed, I think someones just gonna do like a kickflip, then grab the board and make it go five feet in the air.

I'll do a kickflip, get the board to land on the back of my hand, then jump as high as I can, and somehow land.

I think if you were doing grabs, it'd have to be realistically controlled.

i dont even think the height should even be took into consideration. its soo easy to just simply extend your arm out and flip the board out of a sink for example.
for examply i just did a sw tre like 1.5 ft high on a qp easily
