It seems that everywhere i look i see the sickest trick, the 540, but its not a pencil five, its corcked its rodeo, its bio ,its stalled, it has a mad ass grab what the hell, i want to see more 540s winning comps(not really) is it just me or is the 540 underated as trick?

Don't drink and park, accidents cause people.

 
While that's hardly a new idea I think fewer but slower rotations should become en vogue again. Instead of aiming at a 1440 do a sleepy slow 180 or 360 over the same distance. I think it looks more laid back, i.e. cooler.

Be Strong, Be Wrong.

 
Even though some think they're more stylie, they're not nearly as technically difficult as a bio 1260 or switch rodeo 9. They definetly look amazing, but they can't win comps judged by difficulty.

cork 540s and slow style 540s are are the tricks that have sort of dominated snowboarding. Open any snow boarding mag or watch any snowboarding video and cork 5s are quite popular with everyone. The reason why is because it looks good. Its not a huck, its easier to have a lot of style on a 540 than on a 1260 or some ridiculous spin like that, but it still has some difficulty because of the switch landing, and slow rotation. If the patterns remain similar between the evolution of siing, and that of snowboarding... big slow corked 540s wiht tweaked grabs should become mre popular with skiers... Just look at Candides... or Mike Nicks Cab 5 off that pow kicker...

you can do a slow cork 1260 with style....you just need a jump big enough

540s are sweet but has anyone gone past a 1440?

There is nothing motherly about mother nature. Except for her big mountainous breasts.
 
unnatural shit - and enough copying snowboarders... lets see some new shit in the videos next year...

I agree Darryl, film new shit that hasn't been done by either sport. Right now, you're more likely to go 'holy shit!' while watching a snowboarding movie then a ski movie. Reverse that!

'can you parachute down to earth from the moon?'

 
I think this is where the slopestyle format is going to be the shit, just like in the x-games. people are going to have the chance to show style and skill, you can throw a cork 5 off one of the little hits and then bust out something huge over the showcase booter, thats where its at.

PEACE - MATT

FIS SUCKS
 
switch misty 1080, some chick can do those, is it jamie burge??? i cant remember

Team Sofa King Amazing

Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname 'The Fighting Irish.' After all, how long do you think nicknames like 'The Bargaining Jews' or 'The Murdering Italians' would last? Only the Ironic Irish could be so naively honset. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself 'The Fuckin Drunken, Thick-Skulled, Brawling, Short-Dicked Irish'

i'd say that corked 5's look sick and if its stylie enough could win a big air comp however u should do it unnaturally or switch

 
i think jamie meyers said she was gonna TRY to do one. That was awhile ago

Airs to railslides for sure...that is going to be the next step. I know people are doing them...but they will definatly get more intense.

 
i think zero spins are way over rated. they look cool and all, but they're not that incredibly difficult. i don't think it's the individual trick that wins, but how nice it's and and in comparison to what other tricks are thrown. it's about style and difficulty, not one or the other.

 
mike nick took third at wsi with a zero safety(i think it was safety)

Don't drink and park, accidents cause people.

 
off course everyone wants to master a certain group of tricks but as we all know there is always 1 trick that dominates...for instance 2001 was the season of the switch misty and this season it will be the cork 3...its just the way our sport works like a couple pros throw a trick that was unthought of then it becomes the comp trick of the year..etc.......

i agree....but we better be careful cuz cork 3's are getting played out very quickly...still tho, cr's unnatty cork 3's are my favorite

.

.'did you see what i said?' - matt on magic mushrooms....
 
i agree that they are gettin way played out...look at cr's interview in freeze he had like 3-4 pics of cork 3's alone

ah i dont really like cork 3's, cause from what ive seen there not too coked out, it would be cool to see more flatspin 5's and some huge corked 5's, like candide's. but yea zero spins aren't really that appealing to me, it is like the super lazy i dont even care kinda trick, but whoever does it places well. sure it looks sick when pollard does it over some massive table, but so many people are trying to copy his style now, and theyre getting it wrong and its gay.

 
three cheers for the pep roll. if he did it 720 it would be sick. take of backwards flat spin 7 land backwards. award winning trick. the 9's dope to.

sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.

 
screw u guys and ur style, im gonna b the first to do a 1620 while u guys are still workin on ur 1s 3s and 5s

 
from the looks of ur name u'll be the 1st one to do a 91260

zero spind look sick if you do them right. and theyre so fucking scarey. iv only tried em a couple times, this year i wanna learn em. look at mike nick's zero in the back of the newest freeskier, it looks fucking amazing, he doesn't move a muscle in the air.

~Chris

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?
 
why should anyone care what 'this year's trick ' is? why should there be a certain trick for each year.. everyone should do their own tricks and have their own style.. who cares what anyone else is pullin.. its about individuality and skiin for yourself

Smoking pot leads to uhh... I forget.
 
but hes wearing a soccer jacket and hes gay, so that takes away form the trick... watch larose;s

-jon, skiing the ice so the other half of the country doesnt have to.

 
you guys are right about 5s like switch and corked with a sick grab, those will be popular but like in the prelms to get you to the finalls but then we will still see them with 9s and 10s and stuff it is just to show that you have style and technical stuff but you can also step it up when you have to, and this year we need big crosses with grabs no more snowboard immitation grabs we can cross lets do it

 
u guys the the vid of eric pollard doing like a rodeo off a rainbow rail? thats where i see alot of guys going.. not for comps, but tanner was doing cork 450 on to rails and shit..

Moe.

actually i retract my previous statement, k2skeepimp caught on to this year before all of us, this is the year of the sprinkler boys

 
he's right ya know

THE SPRINKLER: get butt naked and then do a 1260 while taking a piss, i expect this trick to win many comps this coming season.
 
I have no love for Jamie Burge.

She is an aerialist skiier and lacks style.

The only thing she did was talk.

In Freeskier this last year she said

I can do misty 1080's on trampoline, and I am going to take it to skiing next year.

But I didn't see it, did you?

-------------

All the pros are talking about switch and unnatural tricks.. Slowing down the rotation.

This is where tricks will be this next year.

Switch unnatural cork 5's and 7's anyone?

Eat. Sleep. Breathe. Ski.
 
I think this is the year of the 'zero spin lincoln loops'.

As for cork 3's... how can they be played out, their one of the most technical tricks to throw down and a limited # of people can do em.

 
Definetely this year for park i think it's goin to be 540's but it's all about switch back country hits.

'No mater how much you shake and dance the last three drops go in your pants!' -Shane McConkey
 
ghost- youve got the wrong jamie... jamie burge is a big mountian type chic, jamie myers is the arielist. and while that may be, if you have seen the flying circus youd respect the huge layout fronts over one of the wind up gaps in utah... it was pretty darn impressive.

 
I agree with whoever said who cares wat te trick is this year. I think it's dumb, if you're not throwing a certain trick, then you have no cance at winning. Thats bullsit, it should be watever is doen the best on that particular day.

Perhaps you may think it bull-shit, but the fact is that every year there is one trick that most people didn't think would be possible and it gets all the talk and rave, cause it's just too huge to overlook.... Now what's wrong with that!

 
yea, but fuck that shit - big air is done... not done, but you know what i mean - we got no more new amazingly inovative tricks to learn on tables...

stop looking at skiing as tables and big air competitions... there are two main things now that skiers gotta improve - big ass backcountry booters, and rails (go check out strike three - it's just like... wow)

Darryl Hunt

come back pikachu
 
ok either u contradicted yourself or u mean something else...because u said stop thinking about tricks on table...then u said back country hits....no in my mind they're all the same they throw u up in the air u spin and flip and grab so i see no difference.

1080spinna has no idea what he is talking about. tables are perfectly made, nice take off, easy gap to clear with speed, and easy to land. bc hits are not perfectly made, well they are in a sense but they have no perfect landing or set gap to clear, bc hits are about innovative takeoffs and landings, step ups/step downs and doing the same tricks you would in the park but making it 10x harder because of bomb holes and such.

**********

You, you got what i need, but you say he just a friend and you say he just a friend. Ohh babby you got what i need, but you say he just a friend, but you say he just a friend - Biz
 
in parks they make step ups and step downs...look at HD they have a weird step up jump in it. so die...

everyone is gonna go out and try corked 3s. the tricks that will win comps will probably be switch flatspins, in and out of the pipe. and rails. corks on to rails. I wanna break out my flat 450 when I grow a pair.
