cool story hansel
 
that was entertaining, i enjoy laughing at your stipidity of trying a backflip on rentals with no helmet, and hucking so hard that you smash you rhead
 
as in i'm pretty good for having balls?if so, thanksif not, i'm just confusedand i really wasn't expecting to do any flipping that dayit was a real fuck it and huck iti dropped in expecting to do a tailgrab 3 or a 5
 
Do everyone a favor, yourself included, and learn how to actually ski outside of the park. Then you'll be able to enjoy all aspects of skiing and not follow the trend of most parkrats being awful skiiers.
 
ki clearly rollerblade, hence my name, so this is just an extension of it
and the slopes were baby slopes, nothing to get into, the slopes were only 160 feet high or somethingwhen i'm at other mountains i try to do some tree runs/little powder things and actually work on skiingthe park was only 3 jumps so i reallly didn't have a choice
 
Yeah, definitely work on general skiing skill, it definitely makes you look better in the park and allows you to experience a lot more stuff skiing.
Props on trying it though, ALWAYS wear a helmet when skiing. Not worth the risk. At least that's my philosophy. You're free to do what you like.
I find with backflips its generally the first one that screws you over. Next time, try to take off, then look at the horizon for a split second, then flip. You will land perfectly if you do it right.
 
as i said, i wasn't expecting to have the balls to do a flip that day, i didn't even know there were any jumpsi'm definitely wearing a helmet from now onthanks for the tipi'll try it when i get my stitches out and go skiing again
and do you tuck when you flip or do you lay outwhich should i try to do?
 
When I do backies I almost always lay them out. I've done them off jumps, out of the end of a pipe, on side booters, and they usually end up somewhat layed out. Its a good way to get your spot in and control the flip. You can look at the ground, then bring your legs around quick if you need to or just bring them around slowly if you need to. You'll naturally tuck if you need to spin it up.
If you can do them on tramps don't worry about what you do in the air, just make sure you set good and are patient on takeoff. The rest takes care of itself.
 
yeah the reason i hurt myself it that i practically laid down before i took off :pif i can be patient i probably won't impale myself again
 
wait where did you do this backflip ? some kid at sun valley did one caught his skis on the knuckle slammed forward into the knuckle hit his face had a seizure and ended up with a bloody face i know your not from there but maybe you were visiting idk....
 
how big were these jumps? congrats on having the balls, but you should learn all-mountain first. it realy helps with style and confidence overall
 
not very bigit was dumb but very possible if i didn't hit myself
and i was at the boyce slopes in monroeville (i think), pennsylvania
i plan on skiing all mountainread some of the above posts
