I guess your trying 180s. You need to pop first, then spin. If you pop and spin at the same time you will take off at the same angle as the kicker therefore when you come round you'll be leaning forward. Its so hard to get your head around this (it took me ages) but think of it like a late 180...

How can anyone be a fan of Josh Berman and not love that trailer. There is some amazing stuff in there. It belongs in the trailer for sure. Josh makes beautiful films with some awesome footage. That trailer shows his beautiful artistic skills with the awesome footage that we expect from those...

errmmm...snowflex ideally works in temperatures ranging between 2 and 10 degrees C. Anything above 20 degrees the slope gets slow. So I'm hoping theres a very good sprinkler system.

Yeah, its an awesome park. There's tons of kickers, the biggest will be at least 18m (55ft thereabouts). The poor winter didn't affect the snow on the glacier. I havent been there in the summer but I'm going to be there this summer because its one of the best in Europe. There aren't so many...

erm...no actually i usually land on my side. Im still not convinced. In the end theres a chance we could hit any vital part of our body why back protectors so big? When you think of the worst thing that could happen on a rail, you think of landing on your nuts but were not buying a box for...

I actually cant think of a situation where a back protector woud help me in a crash in the park wo I dont know why so many people have them. The people who have them dont really know either, they just seem to like the comfort value of something thats supposed to help. Anyone got any ideas?

I cant decide where I want to mount my soon-to-be-bought Seths. Last season I was dropping 25footers on centre mounted Fujatives so this year I look to making my life easier with some seths and a better mounting point. What do you recon?

I find an easier way to think about it: in the pipe its a flare with an extra 180/3/5 . CR does a d-spin at the end of his silver X-Games pipe run back a few years ago. Im sure you know the one I mean.

So the wood in the middle is milled thinner at one point at the bottom and bottom of the ski but does that therefore mean the ski is more likely to break at that point because that is the weakest part of the ski. To cap it off, by making the Butter Zone skiers are encouraged to bend the ski at...

I ride on snowflex in england. Its pretty good with 3inches of padding so it doesnt hurt when you crash. Ive not riden on perma snow but people say it needs more work. Go to snowflex.com for info. Its pretty expensive tho.

Is there a name for skiers doing (what snowboaders call) a lipslide? Thats where if you hitting a street rail from the right side, you put your tails over the rail and slide facing to the right.

if there any snowflex slopes anywhere in the country you are better off asking to buy a second hand roll off them. Snowflex/PermaSnow are both pretty expensive new - around £100 per square metre. In the UK, Ive been using 2 half lengths (1.5-2m) of snowflex to hit street rails and thats only...

Rodeo is an inverted flat spin with your feet going forward. Misty is like a lincon whereby you turn 90 before your hips get above your head.

how can you do a backflip and not go totally inverted??

Tignes has a pretty sweet park with big booters.
