looking for triple

[jerzey111]

hey guys, i was watching ringwood videos on youtube and saw one where nomad tried to jump a "triple". can someone tell me where this is? If possible i would really appreciate if some1 could point to it on a map. i found a "double" at intersection of rr and the knob(not 100% sure but i think thats where it was. skinny down and two jumps) well im looking for some more fun spots. Thanks in advance

The triple jump is hard to see from the trail, the first two jumps are almost impossible to see. You have to find the last jump and then look back to see the first two, then it becomes obvious. See the attached map(mugged from www.tomhennigan.com, bleeder on this site I believe, great resource, the maps of the north Jersey trails are the best out there IMO) The red oval on skylands is the general area you should look for the triple jump.

Thanks a lot. I know where that switchback area is. Much appreciated.

Here's another good look at the jumps. They are just before the switchbacks when heading north on skylands.

thanks alot guys, i found it .....and i guess im a bigger pu$$y than i thought i was. didnt make any of them, i used to jump on my bmx but that was long ago, i think i need to practice on easier approach jumps and smaller i guess. i was thinking building old school type of ramp and just making it higher and higher and i should get the control back and then rocks etc shouldnt be a prob, plus i gotta hear "whimp" from my g/f lol
thanks guys

LOL yea the jumps always look a bit intimidating , 2-3ft jumps im able to do , but when we get into some 4-6 ft drops i back off , just started riding so i gotta build up to it .In time you will blast thru them 😀 , its helps when the ground looks nice and smooth and not too sketch with leafs and rocks lol ..
