Switch mogul racing????

Pretty sure there was a video of someone doing this a couple years back. Totally forget what it was called though
 
haha i always thought if someone did like a 540 on the last jump of a comp and then did like the final 8 moguls or whatever switch
 
i feel like your momentum would be wrong...i mean your knees only bend one way and good mogul skiing relies on your feet being locked together AND looking 3-4 moguls ahead, so you wouldnt be able to see where you're going. also you'd need centre mounted skis because mogul skis are back mounted so that the back of the ski doesn't lift too much as you transition between the bumps (even though you have to force yourself to stay forward). It would look sick but I just can't get my head around the physics of it.
 
Some guys on the Canadian Team tried it at a World Cup in Killington, VT. He threw a fice of the first jump and tried to ride out but by the third mogul he was done.
 
I know Riddle has done a mogul run, reverted in the middle of it and thrown switch cork 9 if that counts...
 
I thought it was a switch cork 5, but you might be right. That was so sick though, like around 2005.
 
i don't think switch moguls is possible but switch tricks off the jumps could be done just butter out as you land and go back forwards. would be so dirty if you got good at it and only threw down switch tricks in mogul comps. they'd probably ban you for being too progressive though.

threads like these seem to pop up all the time i think next year im going to do it and get it on video because it really cant be that hard
 
Boom! now only if i could remember which one without having to watch all episodes again....(which i honestly don't mind)
 
doin switch in moguls would be hell for me. i hate moguls and im pretty good at switch but man.. id basically die. props to whoever can do it.
 
Proper mogul technique switch is impossible...half the people would fall/blow out their knees/get destroyed by at most the 4th or 5th mogul. natural selection in sports at its finest, I guess.
 
ok, found it !!4:05 in episode 1.7 !

From what i've seen around here, most of you should figure out how to ski them forward before you worry about hitting them switch.
