i was reading an old FREESKIER mag from '03 and the trick tip section was rediculous..

-Jon McMurray was teaching us how to back flip to rail. yes backflip onto rail.

-Tanner hall was teaching d-spins 1080.

-Someone was teaching McTwist 7's in pipe (i have no idea what mctwist is.

it just seems to me that these tricks might be a bit much for trick tips, especially since most readers probably have no intention of going out and hucking a flip onto a rail. i just laughed and showed all of my friends, then we all laughed.. thought id share.
 
I remember Tanner did a trick tip for gap to rail in a Volume video once.

"Approach jump with speed, ollie, turn, slide, ride away clean. Make sure you have enough speed or you'll fail miserably."

 
^ that would be VERY useful..switch carving is a whole different technique to going forwards..often i find myself stuck on an edge and flying off into the trees haha
 
I believe you are mistaken, and the magazine was FREEZE. I think I remember the mctwist guy to be Jon Reedy. I think it's funny as well, not that I've read how to do a flip to rail, I should try one. Right?
 
Yeah, they wernt all like that, some where just sliding rails, and allyoops in the pipe and simple stuff. Sometimes they just kicked it up a notch with backflips to rails. Though I dont know, maybe some other people tried it.
 
I always found those pretty amusing too, I mean it was all well and good when the tricks were somewhat reasonable but a lot of them were just rediculous. The notion of reading 5 simple steps and then going out and stomping a switch cork 9 is pretty damned funny, I wonder how many people have been hospitalized because of those.
 
hehe, yea, thats from the March 2003 mag, im looking at it right now, theres mad trick tips in this one

Alot of the old freeze trick tips were actually legit tricks that a normal person could do.
