    Over rotating backflips

    Today I over rotated a backflip half of a rotation. Essentially, I did a back flip and a half and landed flat on my back on very hard packed snow. This resulted in a trip to the hospital which sucked. Regardless, I don't want to get discouraged. So could you pro back flippers out there...

    Trick Skiers!

    Today, when I was riding the lift with some snowboarders, they were like, "You look like one of those trick skiers." It kind of made me laugh becuase I thought of how someone might go to somebody like Tanner and be like, "Hey dude, aren't you one of those trick skiers." I could see a little...

    For those who have been ski instructors . . .

    This season my friend and I are planning on doing some private ski lessons (no affiliation with the ski resort). My friends family runs a church camp that caters to winter visiters, so we will have customers. I was wondering; What do I charge, 20 an hour? What is the best # of skiers to...

    Icon Stealing

    What is with that? Lately, I have been noticing it more and more. There are all these icons that are used by like three or four useres, especially the the popular post makers. Why can't people be slightly original?

    Testing Gaps?

    After watching Tanner and Simon, I was just curious. How do the pros test those big 100 foot gaps like that? Because if you go to slow, your dead. If you go to fast, your dead. How do they know how fast to go the first time?

    Pain worth the Gain?

    I love SKIERS!!!!!

    I don't know if you guys remember my thread about "how can a lone skier get better?" But most everyone said that skiing with other skiers as good or better than you doesnt matter.
