Is this a retarded question? (about aerialists)

[ECfreeski3]

would a good aerialist be able to do a good looking straight air as big as they do their hard tricks (same jump)?

 

[jimmer]

those jumps basically force you to backflip, i imagine a straight air would be very sketchy, if even possible.

 

[jimmer]

 

[ECfreeski3]

yeah thats what i was thinking

 

[Aaaron.]

imagine seeing a zero spin in the olympics.

 

[hauser]

Haha that would be nuts, but seriously they should start doing like switch front flips that would be tight

 

[Baskin.]

basically those jumps seem like they have just a little les vert than pipe walls,I cant imagine how hard it is to push your momentum forward so you do end of landing 5 feet away from the jump

the real question is, whos the boss whos going to bring misties to the table

 

[Smuffy]

last year i saw a dude do a perfect straight off a double aerials jump on snow. hes normally a park skier but it was uber legit

 

[MANDER]

Smuffy AKA "steezninja" has zero spun a small aerial jump. Thats how pro he is.

 

[SCOO-WOOP]

I saw a kid do a branny off of a triple aerials jump in park city. Kid took it straight to his back and coughed up blood.

This is him:

and this too

 

[nellyyy]

I heard Park City legend Travis Perkins did forward and switch rodeo 7's off of the UOP double kicker on snow...
and one of them had a screamer in it

Normally I would say "pics or it didn't happen" but, Travis Perkins is a god among men. And anyone who knows T Perk knows this is true.

A straight air would be tough, but it would be possible. I've seen someone 180 mongo at Placid before, and that was pretty nuts.

 

[pomme-de-terre]

i have straight aired a smaller one before, but im a snowboarder. so i think its a little easier for us.

 

[Schlop]

I think they should start trying switch tricks in competitions

 

[greenman]

i've seen matt depeter (us ski team) do a misty 5 on the triple(biggest hit) in lake placid water rampsso yeh, strait airs quite do-able

 

[FREEskiLINE]

i always wondered if an arialist would be able to do like a double cork with a grab

 

[fratskier69]

i dont think this is true, but at lake beauport (where the d-structure camp is), i heard a crazy rumour.

alot of people were saying that Tanner Hall, did the triple kicker sw, and did a sw backflip!

i heard there was a video? if this is true, thats nutz, i wanna see it

 

[ECfreeski3]

you mean in propaganda, when he did it on the water ramp?

 

[Smuffy]

first off... fuck you manderson. you were straight facebook creepin...

and second, not to brag, but peep the footy
