    Double ejection issue landing switch

    It seems every time I go off a larger jump and land switch I double eject and absolutely ruin my brakes (which I proceed to bend back over and over again.) Has happened on every misty 5, cork 5 and most reg 5s this season. it’s quite annoying. So I’m trying to figure out if I’m just ass at...

    Should I ski on these?

    My dallbello boots toe piece decided to rip off when I landed nose heavy on a misty 5. Dallbello didn’t let me warranty them and told me to buy a $70 piece which I did because I’m not buying new boots but the piece won’t get in for a week or two. I really don’t want to take 2 weeks off from...

    Running Away from ski patrol

    I haven't had a run-in with ski patrol in years, mainly because I don't ski at Vail resorts. I'm also on the east coast so ducking ropes isn't a privilege I get often because they're usually just grass and shit. Anyhow, I feel like if I got caught by ski patrol I could just ski into the woods...

    Has anyone actually broke their neck trying a backflip?

    So like I’m pretty pissed off I never tried a backflip on skis this year because at the beggining of the year I said I would. The Saturday before my mountain closed I said I would 100% try one next week. But sadly... next week never came ?. Anyways, the reason I didn’t try it earlier was because...

    What should be my first flip on skis?

    Lately I’ve been feeling pretty confident about sending a flip while skiing. However, I still get the fear that I’m going to break my neck or something and screw myself if I go for a backie or something. I live in the northeast USA and we don’t have powder or airbags here, so my only option is...

    Anyone know of any airbag facilities in the northeast??

    Being a Freeskier on the east coast is in my opionion, significantly harder than for someone who lives out west. Our mountains here usually do not have many progression opportunities where you can get better without breaking yourself. Icy parks and low amounts of features makes it dangerous and...

    I am 16 years of age and I want to know if it is too late to get into freestyle skiing. There is a local team with signups comming our soon for next season and I want to join it, however I’m not very good at freestyle skiing. I can do 360s 180s railslides and butter’s. I would rather get...

    Terrain park box construction material help.

    So I am planning on building a terrain park box for my backyard and I ordered a sheet of ABS plastic for $20. After reading some more I learned that the boxes are usually made of HDPE. Does anyone know if ABS works the same or similar? I don’t really want to just put this plastic to waste just...

    Is it normal to spin differant ways on rails and jumps

    So I would consider myself a beginner park skier and I just recently learned rails. My mountain has only a couple features on it so it’s hard to get good at something quick. Anyways, I was practicing 90’s on a box and decided to take it to the rail so I did but it felt really weird when I was...

    First backflip help.

    So I’m at that point in skiing where I want to learn backflips, however I don’t know how to do the first one. I can do them on trampolines and if I tried could probably do them on ground. Now usually people would practice them in powder or airbags but here on east coast USA we have nothing. No...
