Was scrolling Instagram the other day and came across this video of a guy named Mike Shaw, who coached free skiers in CO it looked like and I wish I’d never seen it. Anyways, he crashed doing a nose butter 7 off a knuckle, lands forward heavy, punches forward and lands in one of the classical...

So I have been thinking of maybe copping a pair of blades this summer to work on rails in the off season. Mainly to get more comfortable with unnatural slides/tricks. Question in point is, does this actually translate to the mountain? I can imagine it would help with getting used to sliding both...

So I used to ride the full tilt konflicts, which were discontinued after 2014. They had an 8 flex tongue on a 1-10 scale. These boots had seen their days and I had to get new ones. I bought the k2 revolver boots with the 90 flex tongue (quite a bit softer) and the traditional liner as opposed to...

This sounds crazy as I am only 24, but I have been skiing and skating for most of my life, and I think it's finally catching up to me. Have a full time job now, don't live as close to the mountains as I once did, my joints hurt, and it absolutely blows. I am constantly torn between the risk to...

So I’ve been working on 270s on this season, I have been able to do them in the past but not consistently or confidently onto rails. My main pain point is https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/1068056/trim-8A18F60F-BEF4-43FE-B543-E398B5A085E7-MOV...

Trying to decide which boot to buy between the two boots listed in the title. I know the primary difference is the grip walk (additional boot sole grip/protection) compared to the plastic sole. Was wondering if this was worth the difference in price in terms of longevity, if anyone has used the...

Tried the first rodeo 5 of the season today and for some reason I had my poles, I usually always drop them for the first few inverts of the season. Anyways, I come around to 5 but land front seat and fall over forward. Mid fall my pole gets caught on something either the snow or under a ski. I...

Whats up NS, i just got some new look pivot 15s in the gold color-way for a steal. Got them brand new for $265 which is huge. I am thinking of getting the new K2 poachers for the upcoming season. I have ridden FKS pivot 12s, and 14s, but Ive never used the 15s or 18s which consist of the...

The last few weeks have been warm out on the east coast so I have taken advantage of the soft snow and decided to try some new ones. I think I got the rodeo 540 pretty close I could definitely relax the set a little bit more I think though. The cork 720 was also pretty close but wasn’t able to...

I’ve been throwing what I think is a flat spin for awhile now but some random kid at the mountain told me it looked like a Lincoln but idk. Here are a few clips. https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/996488/trim-48E42D62-5EC0-48D9-B97A-C87BE45D4A19-MOV...

I know it’s not perfect by any means but I sent my first few flat 3 attempts today, just isn’t very big or poppy which I think worked a little against me. Is this the correct rotation? Here is the footage of me doing it on the trampoline and skis...

So I attempted a rodeo 540 about 10 times the other day and I was getting pretty close but I still feel like I’m setting it a bit incorrectly for a few reasons. 1) I didn’t land it. 2) it feels very difficult to pop the way that I set it. 3) it felt very awkward and difficult to reach for a grab...

Had a bit of slump on the slope the other day and ate shit on a 2 on and tacoed the rail with mostly my hip and it was the worst pain I’ve felt in a long while. Left the mountain feeling defeated. Which made me think about hip protectors. Definitely want to get some padded compression shorts to...

So I’ve been riding the look pivots for awhile now but every time I crash the breaks just get so fucked up and become an annoyance down the road. Are there any bindings people haven’t had this issue with? And any recommendations on some reliable ones? Might switch up what I have.

Super interested if anyone has any that are new/in good shape, lmk.

So I have looked at a lot of backflip threads to try to improve mine/make them more stylish and clean and one thing I have noticed is that everyone says it’s more of a pop with your hips and shoulders instead of your feet but I’m not exactly sure what people mean by this. I’ve done a lot of...

So previously I posted a video of what I thought was a flatspin and most people said that it was a backflip with a Japan and I definitely agreed with that. I tried tweaking the rotation a little bit and kept my head and chest forward at the start instead of throwing it backwards like a backflip...

So I landed a flat spin on skis last season but it definitely wasn’t as tweaked out as it could be so I just messed around practicing the rotation at my friends pool, is this a pretty solid flat spin? Excuse the boxers, it was about 90 degrees and humid after a 10 hour day of logging...

So I feel like I have a solid base to start trying rodeos except when I do, the rotation does not feel smooth and natural it feels forced and like I’m not going to complete the rotation almost any time I do it. I can backflip, 540, and flat 3 but when I flat 3 I set it more flippy and grab Japan...
