Sammy Carlson whaaaaaaaaaat!

haha not really, my first kanga I landed flat on my side. Probably would have ended my season on a park jump but instead I just got up and did it again.

And Clarks double cork 12 is one of the sickest doubles I've ever seen. He doesn't even go inverted it's acctually double cork
 
Holy shit. How many times can you self promote in one thread. Dont even talk about kangs. They would be hucked and ugly just like your 1620. It's not easier to throw tricks in the backcountry.
 
well lets see here. the general concensus is that sammy had a large chance of landing on his back in that shot.

landing on your back in pow = what some pros do off of massive cliffs in order to equally distribute weight, and NOT hurt themselves. landing on your back in pow = probably not going to hurt yourself.

over rotating a roo flip in the park and slapping down on your back, whipping your head into some hard packed groomer snow = serious injury.

end arguement on whether or not falling in back country hurts more or less than park.

obviously stomping a landing in the bc is much harder than stomping a landing in the park, but come on, falling is way less risky.
 
^ that hit was huge. on hits that big with such a tech rotation theres always a risk, its not like jumping into 50 feet of water!!!
 
Alright people let's get some things straightened out here.

What Andrew is saying is that doing a Kangaroo flip in the Backcountry is less scary!!!!!! It May be harder to land, but it is alot less scary landing in powder. If you don't make it to your feet, you might still get hurt, but not nearly as bad as if you landed on your head on a groomed landing. Don't get me wrong on this Kangaroo Flip + Powder = Less Scary, Harder to land.

If You do a Kangaroo Flip in the park it's going to be alot scarier to do, but if you land on your feet it's easier to land. However if you don't make it to your feet.......You're pretty much FUCKED!! So Kangaroo Flip + Park Jump = More Scary, Easier to land.

Just take a little time and think. Andrew is not saying that sammy is a pussy by doing it on a pow jump. Just stating the simple fact that it would be easier to try it into pow. And the only way he could try to explain that was by personal experience. Not trying to self promote himself.

Well at least that's what I got from it.
 
we all need to sit back and realize that the season isn't over.

you think after doing a few of those that sammy is going to settle for anything but perfection?

ha.

that guy works his shit till it's perfect, and this will be no different.

mad props to sammy carlson.

oregon represent!
 
Your going to leave a great website just because some kid said something mean to you? Someone has to have low self esteem to leave a site for that. Honestly though your a bit cocky, you have to expect it with claims like that, and you've got to, at least be confident enough not to take it in the shorts...
 
well I made a leaving newschoolers.com thread but it got deleted haha so I'll just say here that it's not just cause of one kid being mean to me. There's plenty of times (and I can see them getting more frequent as I get better) like in this thread when people are saying I don't know what I'm talking about, then I go ahead and defend my opinion by telling people I've acctually done the tricks we're talking about (or almost the exact same). For that I get called cocky and a self promoter. It's not just this thread or anything I've had it happen before to, haha I've even had people PM me about it.

I'm not really leaving for good, but I think my time on this account, having people know that the kid who can obviously only do penciled 1620's and has no style is posting, is going to be very minimal.

There's my less rant like replacement for my leaving NS thread mods, I'd like it if this didn't get deleted at least
