Good point, and this is also the basics of photography. 90% of shots you see in a (good) magazine will show both the jump and landing. This gives perspective to the viewer instead of having a "guy in the sky photo."mtnbrider said:I agree ^. I do wish they would have actually filmed A-line. I couldn't really tell that it was A-line. They could have zoomed out and filmed the jumps too, instead of just the air.
It's why watching NWD is painful for me, everything seems to be guy in the sky. Show everything to give the viewer a perspective of the location, the mood, the jump, and the difficulty of the trick.
