Looks good! I'm wicked jealous seeing all the snow...

You guys gotta hit that thing a little faster and then lay off the throttle when you're in the air, that's why your sleds are standing up... it may look cool, but from the front, it doesn't really look like you get any air, just stand the sled up. Also, taping from the side of the jump will give you a better idea of how high your getting... i don't know if the area you were in would let you get that far to the side to tape... but it's a suggestion.

Here's the one of me jumping my SRX (not nearly as long of a vid as yours, but it'll give you an idea of what i was talking about):

Pay no attention to the landing ramp... we were scrounging for snow.
 
I agree with Jigg. More approach speed and let off the throttle just prior to launch and you will get nice air and a nice soft landing in that fluff.
 
Just call me simon Cowl I watched both the videos, the first, although the sx sounds wicked sick, lack of speed and courage hurt the results. It shows you have been on the hurt end of a bad jump. It takes a while to get over that.. at least it did for me. Slow approaches and last minute gas doesn't get air. The SRX,, wow, that landing looked like it hurt. I love the SRX but it isn't really a jumping machine is it?

Words of wisdom from experience, don't jump your sleds far away from your trailer or garage. Buddie of mine launched his A/C and broke his ski in half at Grand Marais. The cabin was in Paradise. (U.P.)
