Switch snowplow

[bernierosow]

all i'm saying is that you wouldn't go into a jump forward in a snowplow. why do you do it switch?

 

[sklermang]

im guessing you shouldnt be doing either

 

[Mulberry]

let this pointless thread die.

 

[chrislogan]

yeah shits real silly, just learn to carve switch

speed check going switch? its really not that hard.

 

[Tmcchesney]

ha i didnt realize i even did that but yeah pc last jump is whack and you need to slow down so much..carving wouldnt really do the trick for me

 

[Hats_Tinga]

word speed checking.

 

[bernierosow]

I hadn't really meant to aim this at you, tim. it's kinda a problem with a lot of people. if it's brought to attention maybe everyone will stop and learn how to turn switch. i can't fucking stand to see kids snowplow anymore. just think twice when you speed check. you wouldn't do it forward!!!

 

[birdshake]

its funny seeing kids snowplowing switch straight down the green run

 

[quebecfreestyler]

I ratehr do a gay speed check then land on my head at teh bottom of the landing because I couldnt lose enought speed carving. Doign a switch hockey stop to loose speed sounds mega sketchy too when you still need a bunch of speed.

I,d say a quick mini v shape to loose some speed is ok as long as you dont keep on skiing in a snowplow form for a long time.

 

[bdowning]

im pretty sure you just dont

Ced the Pirate has spoken... this is the truth!

 

[jksl]

toss em sideways quick, jeezzzz

 

[mackinnon]

no pun intended..?

 

[KL.]

i really hate to snowplow switch too and try to just speed check switch but sometimes u gotta do it as a last resort nah mean

 

[burn]

no you don't. if you can ski, you never need to snowplow. EVER!!!

 

[skiP.E.I.]

I can skate switch /claim. Comes in handy when instructing.

 

[titsLOL]

so if you are in the tranny of a jump and realize that you are going way too fast you'd rather overshoot the shit out of it than slow down a bit... cause you know how to ski too well to be seen snowplowing.

 

[punkrock32]

No poles, standing in a downhill sloping lift line... snowplow stance becomes a must

 

[~~JEFF~~]

Just stick one ski out a little farther than the other to turn incase you didn't know and then speed check (switch)...

 

[skodeo7]

The switchplow. I loathe when people land like this. Thank you Bernie.

 

[fsscott]

cept instructing sucks

...or i get all the bitchy kids and they pay me shit...

yea it sucks

 

[EClay46]

actually, bernie ranks higher than ced

 

[skiP.E.I.]

i kinda like instructing $11.25/hour isn't bad imo. and 90% of my kids have been good, but it's only my first year.

 

[I_Am_Mod]

i think the snowplow is underappreciated and if thrown correctly can be stylish in some way...

+in liftlines snowplow is gayer but much more respectfull for other people, i just hate people hockeystopping/sliding in the middle of a line.... fuck them!

 

[dylansiggers]

I like it when people tuck and snowplow at the same time haha

 

[Peter.]

i love people that think they can ski switch but just switchplow down the hill

 

[Gnarshred]

man, i can ski switch great, but its just not effective for scrubbing speed between jumps. Especially places like breck/keystone where you land on the takeoff for the next.

 

[burn]

breck and keystone are the homes of the worst offenders

 

[skiP.E.I.]

did that on my way to and from the park today, was quite sick.
