    Fear the kink

    So my home mountain just put in a 35 ft dfd rail and I want to hit it but don't know how. Is there a specific way to hit the down to flat section without eating shit? I feel like as soon as I get to that section of the rail, my edges will catch and I'll get launched forward

    It seems I've fucked up

    No i didn't mount my bindings incorrectly. I bought 2014 armada thalls a few weeks ago and went to a local ski sho0 to get a binding reccomendation. I told the guy money wasn't an issue and explained necessary details; height 6"0 weight 148lbs (ik I'm a skinny guy) and that I ski primarily park...

    Differing skis a waste

    So about two years ago when I started skiing park, I was misguided into buying volkl bridges, which aren't very suitable for park skiing. After a season and a half of getting by with them in the park I decided to buy armada thalls, a park specific ski, for this upcoming season. Comparing things...

    What's the difference?

    So two years ago when I started park skiing I was misguided into buying 2012 volkl bridges. After I purchased them I read online that they weren't very suitable for park. I agreed, they felt dead on my feet, there was no pop, and the swing weight was awful. I skied the two seasons on them in...

    Torso

    So usually I wouldn't post this kind of thread but I need opinions on which jacket to buy this year. In hindsight, the past two seasons my choice in outerwear was garbage and I need some help. I have black virtika pants and need a sick jacket to go with them, price isn't an issue.

    Looking for new planks

    Am deciding to buy a new pair of skis but have no clue what to go with. I'm 6 feet tall, 150 lbs. I ski a local hill on the east coast, primarily park. I'm looking for a durable park ski that is playful and poppy and that can do well in all aspects of the park (jumps rails etc.) Price doesn't...

    Local Mountain Antics

    So, here in Pennsylvania, we had the best winter season we've had in years, and my local mountain went through a lot the past few seasons and finally got bought by a decent company this year. They had a great premier season and still have a large base on most hills, yet they decided to close for...

    How to convince parents

    So I measured out area in my yard, offered to save up my own money, and even made drafting plans for a summer jib drop-in and my parents still give me trouble whenever I bring building it up. How did you guys convince your parents to allow you to build a jib in their back yard? Are my parents...

    Cork vs Double Cork vs Triple Cork etc.

    Alright I've never understood what the difference between a cork and a double/triple cork is. I would think a single cork would be a corked 360 and a cork 540 would be a corked 3 with an extra 180 and then when you get to 720 it's a double cork. Can anyone explain corks to me?

    Frontflip Jump

    So the east coast just got a nice snowstorm and i think its the perfect time to learn frontflips with a jump in my backyard. What's the best way to build the jump? Should it be kicky or mellow? How tall should it be? Also any tips on the actual flip?
