done today at vail on the flat down picnic tables....with no ACL

see ti in the 06 ATA film

epic shit telliny a first hand
 
kinda stupid to still be skiing but whatev, still dope. he should get surgery and start recovery so he can be back for summer
 
i dont doubt it, its just one more spin im not gonna be able to do...in my mind swups are gettin excessive but thats just my oppinion.
 
i hope it was 540 the oppisite way of the 270...... but i doubt it was..... so im really not impressed.... and im sure anyone could spin around alot in the same direction......
 
on picnic tables? i would be super impressed if it was on a rail (like when it was dope on the trap rail in park city) but its on picnic tables... thats not that great
 
Holy shit you kids are idiots saying that's not impressive. Ok maybe for some unseen reason you don't think it's impressive well he did it with NO ACL!
 
the acl thing isn't that huge of a deal...a couple of my friends throw down hard with missing ligaments...the 540 swup is cool though
 
well if its not that impressive...how come ive never seen it before and i ski everyday with rediculously good skiers....
 
Seriously, when someone does something you can't don't be a little bitch and put the trick down. To all you hatin on it, just because you realize skiing is progressing beyond you ever being pro or "spnacnred" doesn't mean you can't be stoked on a SICK trick. No one has even seen the video yet....fuck sake.
 
Agreed. Who the fuck do you think you kids are??? a 540 switch up I have never seen, not to mention it is coming from a kid without an ACL. Until you little punks have seen it, don't hate on it....actually, none of you can hate on it because none of you can do it. It is one of the reasons he podiumed at WSI at the age of 16 and none of you did.
 
i agree with the dude who said switchups are getting excessive. the way rails are being done now is kind of like spin to win... whatever happened to sliding a rail, and making it look amazingly good? now it's like okay let's see how many spins i can incorporate into this. dont get me wrong, i'm a fan of spins on and off and switchups on the right set up, but shit... either way props to spriggs whether i like the trick or not, that takes skill. and with no acl... what the fuck that's crazy. i couldn't do anything when i tore my acl...
 
its a sick trick but like someone else said and i agree. i think sw up 80397594 is getting excessive. fuckin sick for doing it and all that but i gotta see video to see the steez.
 
i think we are all missing the point..i'm about to go through double knee surgery and i know spriggs...he's a good kid, but young = stupid...get your fuckin knee fixed....not worth it, just take the freakin 2 months off and suck it up...I agree it's a mind blowing trick, picnic table or rail, whatever, but you guys giving him props for doing it will a blown knee is bad for the sport...common kiddies...
 
The doc told him to ski on it until the end of the season b/c the other pieces are holding it together fine. He is going to have surgery once he completes his movie segments and after a few more comps. The Steadman Clinic told him that advice and they are the finest knee docs in the world.
 
Im stoked when i get 540 switch up in Jibberish, it does kinda make me sad (because ill never be on that level) when i see underflip misties, double switch backfilps, and sw 1440s
 
How are people saying sw ups are excessive on THIS trick...it is not like he did 6 switch ups on a feature he did one HUGE one...I would much rather see 27 on and one DOPE switch up than 4 sw ups. I haven't seen it either but for fuck sake people it is like people don't want to see progression...sorry to say but our sport will change! More WILL come, that is the nature of athletes pushing themselves.
 
they are, i'd rather see some style thrown in to maybe some basic switch ups, and some simple 270's on w/ style, yea all that stuff takes lots of skill, and i cant do it, but 4 switch ups looks stupid, so does excessive hucking on and off
 
ok i saw it and i have to say it was the coolest shit done on a rail/picnic table ever, idk why you guys are even argueing the fact that he did it and was gay, you try and do it with no acl
 
was he going super slow and spinning fast....or was it a huge flat down so he had time? that a pretty crazy trick!
 
ummm, if the doc said to ski, then why didn't he ski in x-games? And I'm pretty familiar with the knee and have no ideas of how "other peices of his knee are holding together his acl" - that makes no fuckin sense first of all...but if the doc says it's cool, whatevs
 
i mean, i skied almost 4 months on blown mcl, but that is totally different.... i dunno how he is able to do that shit if his acl is truely totally torn...
