My mate wears a lifejacket and a motocross helmet for protection. He swears it helps but it's a flourescent yellow 80s lifejacket and looks hillarious. He also has race knee pads made from traffic cones and finger guards made from milk bottles!

you don't need to wind up much before the jump either. be patient is very important.

Erm, pep ski's fat pistols in the park too.

Just cos you can 5 doesn't mean you can do backflips. I know a guy who can backflip, frontflip and has pretty much learned lincolns who can barely 180. He's just crazy. It's all about going for it. As soon as I get to a tramp and learn it I'm gonna try one. Go for it.

I got my mum to make me one for christmas and it's amazing. She knitted it btw.

I just learnt properly on wednesday! Woo! so stoked. Make sure you do the full 90 and lean a lot more forward than you think. That's what I was doing wrong, as soon as I changed it worked every time.

How can you have ski style on a bike? Do you do grabs and stuff- that would suck. If you want style then watch the collective possibly the best shot and stylish sports film ever. I ride and I do some street but if you were just starting why just do street? 'You can do almost anything you...

Surely if you decide to do some hard carving turns that thing is gonna catch the snow and you'll each shit on a groomer. How cool would that look? If you do want to 50-50 it will take the skill out of it so that anyone could do it?

Trying to learn true tails. Any tips? Want to learn uncrossed ones first but are these harder than crossed ones?

I reckon superman frontflips are pretty damn ugly. I have to say 50-50s can look cool. Crichton in forward over the rainbow + CR in happy days rail slide to 50-50 on a downkink was super cool.

Boots are way more complicated to make than skis, a new boot company wouldn't get it right first time so I wouldn't buy them. Aren't DC snowboard boots shit? I know vans ones are pretty crappy. They've just got the vans brand name behind it. Do we want that for skiing?

When I learned I used to that. I was told that it's cause I was twisting my head but looked as well. I solved it by looking more down (duh?). Anyway. It caused me to land on my tips and fall but the nxt one I stuck super clean. It worked for me.

What about criticals? Also indy grabs(grabbing the inside of your left ski with your left hand) are pretty easy.

I've read it. It's not as good as his other stuff but it's ok. What do you want suggesting?

The parks in europe are nowhere near as good as the US. The only decent one I've skied at is Are, Sweden- surprising that Jon Olson etc come from there.

uncrossed mute or a 3

It doesn't hurt that much when you fall. You just can't ski in short sleeves cos it gives you carpet burns. It's still fun if you can't get snow but can be slow. They have to sprinkle it with water constantly.

Cheers. Sorry for the confusing post, read it in a book and wasn't sure how it'd apply to freestyle. I was talking about base edge bevel. I'll leave my edges alone.

I mean angling it down from the base (when your base is at the top) so that there's less grip. Should I just leave it flat?

I think A-frames but may be O frames. Whichever is older. I need some new ones.
