    Can most people even physically do an octograb?

    I was riding the chairlift the other day and it took the whole ride to stretch and maneuver my body to even grab my skis in that manner, and that's sitting down. I know Gus Kenworthy said in his instabanger vid that he couldn't do a venom grab, which is the same concept.

    Has Vimeo improved their upload quality over the years?

    Probably an obvious answer, but I was just watching some old edits... i feel Ghood specifically, and its low-res, but its clearly not the camera. Still the best looking edit i've seen.

    Anyone know any trick name origin stories?

    Lets see if we can have a serious conversation on this site. I have recently been learning new terms I have never heard of before (mostly thanks to SLVSH), cuban grab, venom grab, super elusive. If anyone knows the actual story behind how a certain term came to be, I think we would all love to...

    Thanks Boston Herald for helping to clog up the base lodge with more lodge moms.

    http://www.bostonherald.com/entertainment/travel/2015/01/mountain_resorts_offer_fabulous_fun_for_the_non_skier This is ridiculous. I never thought I would read an article advocating for people to sit in the lodge.

    Why is a ski shaped... like a ski.

    Basic ski shape question here. Every ski but some park skis is non symmetrical, yet we reference a turn "radius". Why? What is the disadvantage while carving of a symmetrical shape, and why does taper in the tail help with a skis performance? What is the reasoning behind a basic ski shape?

    What makes a park boot a park boot?

    First off, yes buy the boot that fits, but hypothetically speaking if I am comfortable in both a park boot and a non park boot, what is really the difference these days. I currently have an SPK 90, it'll be my 3rd seaon on them. The whole reasoning behind getting that boot was the more upright...

    I will be up in VT skiing mount snow and stratton for new years, and I am trying to figure out where the good new years eve shit is going down.

    The soon to be official Style Survey thread

    What did you specifically learn at camp?

    My friend is at an undisclosed summer camp right now and I'm a bit surprised at his progression. Could be more than I expected could be less. I just wanted to get a feel of how much people learn at these things. So I was wondering what tricks people learned or really dialed in . If you could...

    What actually happened to people shooting at chads gap

    I haven't seen every single movie in the last few years, but no one even seems to shoot there anymore. Also, I can't be alone in actually wanting to know how the hell you get to chads gap. Maybe inside all the dumb crap people are bout to post someone will just give some damn directions. It is...

    Best ski AND surf location in the US (or canada)

    So I obviously ski all winter, but I own a jet ski and have been trying to get into wave-riding skimboarding, though I would surf it was feasable. Skimboarding gives you more flexibility when you can't check out wave conditions each day. I live in CT and have the states largest lake in my town...

    Failed summer setups?

    Am I the only one who spent a lot of time effort and money making a backyard setup that ultimately did not work? Mine was originally designed for my friends sloped yard so it only has a 5 ft drop in, but his parents weren't buying it. It then got transferred to my flat backyard and it simply...

    Do people have wish lists? or: bring back SIA videos

    I don't really think about other gear I could have until something breaks. I'm warm, nothing is broken and my boots are comfortable. Once one of those things changes I rectify the problem through research and carry on. Are people out there with long wish lists of stuff they want? Only thing I...

    Base File Guide above 1.5 degrees?

    Anyone know of a guide that goes to like 2 or 3 degrees. Keeps the edges off of rails. Plus if I do a 2 on the side edge it would be nice to keep the 90 degrees by matching it on the base.

    Honestly, is it just me or have ski movies fell off?

    what happened to stocked rosters like this with crazy shots? I haven't been interested in a ski movie much since the year after this one with revolver and the way I see it. Everyone is now out to make a skiumentary, telling a story or narrative instead of just showing awesome athletes doing...
