Hornbeck has made shuffles the it trick of 2010/11

haha honestly i didnt realize the date, i was looking up reviews about ipod shuffles, came across this, and well.....
 
shuffles just arent as easy as they look. super fun to do, but they are hard on your abs and my skis seem to like to pop off when i do them...
 
They are cool when you intend to do them. When kids are falling off rails and then try to salvage it with a half assed suffle it makes me angry
 
Pretty sure its called Dead Lunging not shuffling. Reason being: you land sideways and are too far forward or cant revert back, you fall on your side and wind the hell out of yourself ergo: dead lung.
At least thats what im going to call them.
 
Only when done properly they look cool.... other then that looks like you couldn't do the full rotation on a 3 or 2 out...
 
DEADLUNG.

although shuffle is kind of a cool name.

here's the man to thank for this trick.

Its called a revert. It always has been called a revert. i have no idea where this "shuffle" term came from but its stupid
 
shuffles are way snappier than reverts. reverts sound like a mistake or a washout, but shuffles are fully intentional and quicker, done (if right) almost right on contact when you hit the snow.
 
well it looks awful when people land then do it. or when people do it multiple times like dane tudor or leigh powis. Like land revert to switch and go back again to forward. and when matt walker does them sometimes he sprays snow and that looks retarded, looks like hes stopping. But, I am being very critical
 
Except those skaters arent riding the same park as the ones competing in it. It's much more creative to go find your own jumps/jibs/features/stair sets/interpretations outside of the park, and thats why skating is rad and wont get stale, or snowboarding for that matter.
 
what you kow about them shuffles??? yeah ch ch er er.

but really doing a deadlung on a jump is hard as fuck. i dont get it.
 
shuffles look sick, but i feel the rationale behind them is...

"hey, since i cant really spin any more, how bout i land sideways on purpose? that would look cool right?"
 
Realizing you won't bring your trick around, land sideways then revert to either switch or forward. Some people will even goes as far as tricking you into thinking they are going to either switch or regular and then revert again to the opposite.
