I once saw a snowboarder doing a test jump on a huge booter. Sketched it...shooting up way back seated, like getting the board at the same level as his head. But then the guy corrected the position by "whipping" the board around 180, and landed fakie nose (or tail actually) pointing slightly...

Best info I've found on NS so far. Thanks.

Reverse camber, reverse sidecut skis are totally different animals. No sense to compare those to traditional sidecut skis. The idea is not to sink but to float/slide on top of the snow...I guess those are Spatulas on steroids. Can you say SLIDE? :) McConkey is probably right saying that most...

Taper sidecut. They just look like traditional because there's only the front of the ski in the picture. Again: 154-130-120 (mm)...so they don't actually have any sidecut. There's alot of talk of them in the TGR forum: the shape is supposed to be a bit more versatile than Spats. I guess you...

So true. But kids don't understand this as they watch movies about perfect conditions all the time. People need to worry less about image and get out a bit more...:)

PS. Almoehi - funny that you posted your reply almost same time as mine... and pretty much the same content. Have to say I totally agree with you!

I don't know. It's all skiing..so, it's all good. I love big mountains, but where I live there isn't much opportunities to ski stuff like...so I go to parks instead and try to get same kind of feeling and adrenaline rush from hitting jumps etc. It's practice for 'real' mountains for me in a...

Allright. Some good points doods. Have to take it back a little... japans and lui kangs look best in pipe, qp and hip jumps IMO. There is a difference when you can lean to side, it goes kind of naturally with the jump's flow.. I was thinking about just straight airs in my earlier post (must be...

What do you guys think about 'mute grabs without cross'?(what it is called, actually?) Basically, I suck at combining spins and grabs.. but this last winter I got 360's somehow dialed with grabs. Only thing is that my friends always complain that when spinning&grabbing mute I don't cross...

Dirty: I think the guy's whole name is Mikko Sjöblum... right? Fell overshooting way large backside 180 on spring 2001... A Finnish dude... I don't know him though. Hope he's better now!

I fish on summer. I think it's a great way to relax and just take it easy and let your body heal from all the winter crashes...:) And just being outdoors (by rivers, on the sea) is nice even when you don't get too much fish. And, you can easily have way more beer when fishing (compared to...

Couple of words from Europe...(I'm new on this forum but have been 'lurking' for a while) I have a snowboarder friend (a really really good one, e.g. 2nd on verbier Xtreme 2001)who told about guys doing pretty progressive stuff on skis on the early 90's. I guess great things just often happen...
