    Tail butters and how to learn them

    I've got a pretty decent nose butter at low speeds and the know-how how to improve it. Took me a while but always knew I'd get them after enough practice. But how on earth do tail butters work without having your lower calves explode? My boots (Dropkicks with Zipfits & stiffest tongues &...

    130+ flex race boot for park skiing, pro's & cons

    Couldn't find a decent thread, just random posts here and there about stiff race boots for park, so here it comes. I'm 175cm/73kg / 5'9/160lbs athletic youngster, turning 40 this year and I currently ski the Faction Prodigy 3.0 in 178cm. Skiing my fifth season, all of which have been 99+% in...

    How to land weight more forward on switch 540's?

    Tore my calf last spring when doing my first switch fives. Problem was landing super back seat and it let to various weird crashes. Last of them my right ski got weirdly stuck underneath me, swiveled to switch, with all of my weight over it, stretching the calf to a point where it tore, so...

    Hit my first street spot yesterday!

    Beyond hyped! I'm close to, if not over twice the age of an average NS'r / freeskier, older than Tanner Hall, and only a year younger than Candide Thovex, so it feels kind of a big deal. Any other elderly street senders around? Footy...

    Accidental slightly corked 360?

    Hi there. Did I just accidentally cork my 360? Been wanting to try a cork for a while now but haven't found the balls to actually commit. Today my left rotations were on a funky axis by accident -> was this a slight cork or not? Surprised me how comfortable I was with the axis and hoping this...

    Natural Selection type of competition format for skiing?

    Does it exist? Man made features in backcountry, head to head cup format. Would be dope.

    Wells Lamont mittens

    How warm are they? You can't buy these from anywhere on a regular basis in Finland so was thinking asking you guys before ordering the FT collabs, which my local supplier is getting a few pairs of. Most of the days I rock Burton Dam mittens which are designed for spring weather. How much warmer...

    ZipFit liners

    Just ordered a pair of Gara LV's to go with my FT Dropkick Pro shells. I've had my share of foot/boot oriented problems in skiing, to a point where I had to have 2 weeks break after every full day of park skiing in 2018-2019 season. This is fortunately history already and I've been able to use...

    Yet another topic about ski length

    Hi. Since my 2021 dollos blew up only after 20 days with them, I will probably not continue with Armada at this point. Is this normal?? Haven't had a ski break up on me in over 2 times of similar use. All my skis before the dollos have been on the stiffer side, but after them I've kinda...

    Are the world champs streamed to Youtube or similar free stream service?

    Yle shows the finals in Finland, but does someone stream the whole event and is it watchable free via a VPN? Asking for a friend.

    Can you disaster a rail without kinks or a gap before the rail?

    Long time lurker, first time poster here. If I hit a straight rail with so much speed I gap the first 4 or 5 meters of a 6m down rail, is it a disaster? If it isn't a disaster, then what it is called? Discuss.
