    Matej Skiing Through a School Edit

    This video is absolutely nuts. I can't imagine how many takes went into this. I find it funny how only matej could do this because he is small enough to fit between the stairs and ceiling. Shoutout to Redbull for continuing to make good and creative shoots like this. =RedBullSnow

    Matej actually won Xgames

    Two 48 scores, one a double cork and one a triple cork... different tricks... I think we need to redo this because this is even more blasphemous than Henrick and Jesper getting robbed last year

    Curved Rail Preference

    I used to only hit C and S rails that curve to the left at first (I am right foot forward), but recently I have been hitting an S tube that curves to the right, and leaning back is so much more satisfying to me now when getting on the rail. Do you have a preference? I have a feeling some people...

    New skis are hard to turn

    I just tried out my new tom wallisch pro skis the other day. They got a preseason "tune" so I'm assuming the shop did some modifications to the edge bevels from what comes out of the box. For some reason, they are hard to initiate and release when turning. I felt like I had very little control...

    Front Swap to forwards

    I have been doing swaps for about a year now and I still can't front swap to forward. I just can't wrap my mind around it. If I try to set my front edge when landing, I just land like 45 degrees on the rail and usually slip out or fall off early. Are there any strategies for this or do I just...

    Where to ski near Detroit?

    I just found out that I am moving to Detroit for the winter for an internship. Where is the best local hill to lap for rails? I need to buy a season pass soon. I don't really care about jumps too much. Rope tow is always a plus. **This thread was edited on Sep 12th 2020 at 1:18:26pm

    New park ski (Midwest)

    I currently ski a 2011 Ninthward HHP. They have held up really well durability wise (probably 7-8 cracks after 3 years, but no signs of the edges warping or pulling out). I could easily get another year or two out of them. I love how lightweight they are and how stable they are when I don't land...

    Line Grab Tab Replacement

    Is it possible to buy replacement grab tabs from Line? If not, does anybody have a snapped line ski pole with a grab tab? Ill send over like $5 for it. They unscrew easily with a phillips head.

    Made a noob move with my goggles. Am I screwed?

    I got back late last night from a long drive after skiing, and I didn’t unload my car. Today I unpacked my car and I find my goggle bag completely soaked from my skis dripping onto it. The goggles themselves were soaked too. I didn’t rub the lenses or anything because I know it ruins the anti...

    Which 450 is easier

    It is the last week of the season at my place and I haven’t even done a 450 but I think I can. I tried to blind 4 for 2 hours yesterday but never got spinning hard enough i guess. Is a front 4 easier to commit to / get around than blind 4? I also get my tip stuck a lot when I try to spin fast.

    Does a stiff ski with early rise exist?

    I used to ski the volkl ledge, and entry level park ski with tip and tail rocker that wasn’t very stiff or poppy. I recently started riding a super old but new pair of ninthward edollo skis that are as flexible as a 2x4. I love how stable I am now on landings and how poppy they are, but I am not...

    Soleus pain from boots

    I don’t get shin bang very often, but whenever I lean back at all in my boots, I get a very bad pain in my soleus’s. Well i think its my soleus. It is definitely a tendon that is out the outer side of the lower leg that runs right above the ankle. It gets tender to the touch after a rough day...

    What to do about missing edge

    I know edges falling out underfoot is a common thing that happens, and I just lost my first ever chunk of edge. I have a back up pair of skis that I still need to mount, but I don't feel like going a week without skiing since the shop needs the boots. What do you guys do when a chunk of edge...

    Shin bang from tracked out powder?

    I was just skiing normal downhill, no jumps or cliff of any airtime, and I got some decent shin bang by the end of the day. I think it was from how bumpy the runs were because there was 9 inches of fresh stuff with refills and it almost hurt to ski down the mountain before everybody left and the...

    Attack 13 bindings on 80 width ski

    I got a free old pair of ninthward henrick pro skis that have an 80 width waist. I also got a pair of attack 13 bindings because i heard lots of good things about them. The toe pieces look extremely wide compared to a marker toe piece. Will these be too wide for the skis? I can transfer a pair...

    How to manage super cold days

    I have a trip up to whiteface in two weeks and I have been looking at the weather. It is supposed to be absolutely freezing. I am a midwest skier and I don’t get too many days where it is below zero wind chill. I was curious what helps manage those days. Layering is obvious but are there any...
