hahaha oh man,

im sorry but that really made me laugh, its cool you like to ski and everything but you've watched hardball too many times.
 
that switch up you did looked pretty good. but i'm not gonna lie the first shot of u racking it was pretty damn funny. keep it up!
 
Stop hating on the kid. Yeah, kids not going pro anytime soon, but at least he had the balls to ask for the help.
 
yahs hes got balls askin for help not many people do.

but id lay off the whole cocking the gun thing haha
 
Jeez, sometimes ns makes me sad...he just wanted help with his switch ups...not advice on how to live.
Try rotating your whole body and not just your legs.
 
at least he tried them on like most of the shit floating around newschoolers
as for your help two words gorilla stance
keep you body compact with you shoulders fairly level and spin you body and skis at the same time then when you land stay compact. hope it helped don't let others discourage you keep trying eventually you will be able to throw them with out thought
 
that switch up looked fine, u gripped, popped, got the rotation, landed, only improvement i would say would be to get the arms down a bit more. That will come with time a practice though
 
alright well that was a damn short rail and obviously sketchy set up so on snow it will be a lot easier.

for me its all about foot position. IF YOUR ON THE RAIL FACING YOUR LEFT SIDE--and want to spin to the left dip your right toe or left heel. if u wana spin to the right dip your right heel left toe. make sure u grip the rail. if your going for fast switch ups i cant really help you u just gotta get the motion down. this is gonna sound gay but practice on ground like no skis boots just in your shoes, barefoot. i did this so much and it really helped me
 
its called gas pedal, but who really gives a fuck.

but ya, since you slide left foot forward, drop down your left heel and use your edge to grip the rail, push off of that edge to spin, you can use that for your front switchups and front 270s out(spinning left)
 
try doin a switch up to switch so that you can learn to commit your whole upper body to the switch up once you can do that you'll be way more comfortable with em and will be well on your way to mastering the k fed.
 
god, give the kid a break he is trying.

and did you really just call him a nerd? how old are you? grow the fuck up, he is just following the trends the same thing everyone on ns is doing
 
c'mon you have to admit the whole thing was pretty rediculous. If he wasn't trying to be a gangster nobody would have said anything negative.
 
Try looking the direction you are spinning on the switch up and try to get your whole body to 180 then land switch, it will look smoother. I have the same problem sometimes. Good job, looks pretty good just keep it up.
 
i think they are brothers... haha

nice switch ups though, u got to just keep doing them like anything and you will get them down

and for the second vid, dont go dumb unless you are thugged out
 
alright when people wear baggy clothes while skiing and put hiphop in their edits they are not TRYING to be gangster they are doing what they like and what they think is the most fun. if he actually went out and stole his grandma's car and fucked shit up like my homie latarian did, then THAT would be trying to be gangster.
 
i dont know if u realize dis but that homie had a motherfucking GUN. he was obviously gunna carjack some fools an fuck shit up/
 
Are you gonna change the name of your "Productions" every time? First it was Peacock Productions then it was 2 Way Productions. But the nerdy glasses made me laugh so hard! Same with the pathetic jumping around like a gangster and cocking a toy gun!?
