    Terrorist attack on Sochi, could it happen?

    Just really confused about how the Russians are running security over there. Several sources claim that its just really chaotic. Even accommodation for athletes and the public are not going well even now. Just imagine when the masses gather and things get really crowded. I've seen pictures and...

    Need some help finding a new pair of park skis!

    So I'm in that type of situation once again. The left binding on my old pair of Salomon Suspects literally exploded upon landing and the screw holes apare to be quite rotten. I don't think trying to fix them would be such a good idea, or? Anyways, I'm really interested in buying another pair...

    In need of a good and tall jacket!

    Good morning fellow NS'ers! As the title describes I am in desperate need of some new fabric to wear out on the slope. I'm 6'2 and around 200lbs. Therefore I need something tall, I've been looking at the Vertika Jacket from First Drop, but it kinda seems really baggy, not sure if thats the way...

    Chad's Gap or Pyramid helmet cam!

    There is probably a thread on this already made, but I'm gonna take my chances anyways. So I'm basically curious on how many shots there are from a riders perspective when it comes to jumping these two beasts. If you know about some other redicilous big air action that is caught with a helmet...

    Unnatural railside? Need help!

    I'm trying really hard to learn how to slide the other way. I tried it sometimes today on a big pipe/rail and failed, didn't even get a chance to stand on it, just slightly getting up and falling off to the sides. So I'm basically wondering about the best technique for learning to slide the...

    Need help with new powderskis!

    I was thinking of buying some new powderskis and need some help. I'm trying to decide which ones I should get. I'm thinking of using the skis for powder kickers and regular freeriding in deep pow. I reckon that the skis the shouldn't be too heavy if I'm supposed to be able to to spins and flips...

    Perfect height for skiing!?

    Someone might think that this is quite silly, but there are some logic to this. When you are shredding in the park doing jumps and spinning, wouldn't you also think that the taller you are the more problem you have staying in balance while doing corks and spins? I'm just curious about this. So...

    Learning how to double frontflip?

    I've been thinking about this one for a while. I'm stoked on taking my skiing to another level and I have decided it's time to learn doubles. I look at the double front as a way to progress and eventually be able to do double corks. I'm just afraid of the commitment, I think. If anyone here on...

    Buying boots on Ebay, measuring size?

    The boots I'm getting measures 27.5cm. Am I supposed to measure my foot in cm, and if my foot is exactly 27.5cm, then the boot will fit perfectly? Or am I supposed to add 2cm or something because of the inner lining?

    Learning how to control your nerves!!?

    I've been having real trouble lately trying to learn some new tricks. When I'm standing on the top of the run and looking at the jump, the nerves just get the better of me. I always get so fucking nervous, especially if the jump is a bit on the larger size. I usually practice all my tricks in...
