^^ I annoys me when people think that a lot of skiing is just about having balls. The athleticism of the top guys is amazing, they're not just sick because they throw themselves of huge stuff- they've got a hell of a lot of skill as well.
the point is naomi, that as a human being you try to land feet first, and a trick is just throwing yourself off balance then fixing it. So really if you stay cool then its not that hard and does not require that much skill, that is the skill in itself. Its not like I don't ski or anything.
But then in that same sense surely any of us could be acrobats as well? It's the same kind of manouvers that skiers are pulling. I can see what you mean about a lot of it being about remaining cool, but I don't think its as huge a part of it as you're saying

Whoa whoa, throwing yourself off balance then correcting it??? NOOO, that's not it at all. If you are off balance then you have no chance of landing it. That's why we got a thing called air awareness which keeps you balanced in the air even though your body is flipping/spinning and what not. Plus you've got no idea of how much skill it takes to do that. You CAN NOT session the cliffs out in the BC that they ski. You have to make soo many judgements in just seconds it's just incredible. Ok, I'm done.
