in the extras in WAR, when Tj is filming JP, he is talking about doing a four point.. What does he talk about? JP says hes to tired for four point. Is it a trick?
 
4 point as in you know when candide jumps he does a pole plant.....well thats called a 3 point take off. add another pole plant and you got a 4 point.
 
i think a 4 point is a whitetail derr with either combo of 2 points to one sude, one point to a side an three to the other, or a "half-rack" it has half of its rack missing and only had 4 points to its one side.
 
I'm sorry, I wasnt coached on skiing termonology as a child. I'm sure everyone in this thread has used it in practice at some point, just didnt know that had a name.
 
PRACTICE? sking isnt something that most people are coached on. so lay off us for now knowing what a 4 point is. the only skiers that actually go to practice are pussy racers or olympians. the rest of us just go out and rip shit for a good time and the enjoyment of skiing. thats what makes skiing so great.

"Whats brown and sticky?? a fucking stick you dumbass"
 
a 4 poitn landing is when you do a double pole plant as you land with both of your at the same time

1 pole = 1 contact point and 1 ski = 1 contact point

so a total of 4 contact points hence 4 points landings
 
it is when you land with both skis and poles at the same time, its a mogul term so thats why tj and jp both know what it is, they were mogul skiers. i can't believe nobody knew that
 
BUT, why is JP saying "im to tired for 4point?" its not like its hard work to put his sticks down when hes landing"? and what the fuck is mogul anyway?
 
ohhh i thought he was just being funny and refering to it as jp will recieve 4 points if he lands the trick hahahaha. I didnt know it was all technical
 
who are you guys even skiers. a four point landing is where your hands are in front and you pole plant when you land.
 
we're talking basic skiing here.....apparently its possible to be so focused on steez and pole dragging that people forget/dont learn how to ski.
 
It wasn't, that's kind of pathetic that so many people don't have any basic ski knowledge. But I guess there's probably a large population of kids on this site that don't even plant their poles, so a 4-point landing is beyond them.
 
peep the shrine : "look at the shrine"

the shrine was that building they were by.

goley and dope hands... I don;t remember that stuff.
 
this is seriously the most confusing fucking thread.

i now know what a four point landing is.

BUT WHY THE FUCK DOES JP SAY HE IS TOO TIRED TO DO A FOUR POINT.

jesus.

and goley?

WHAT THE FUCK?

my head seriously exploded.
 
what about all of us who havent had freestyle training? how the fuck are we supposed to know what all this shit is.

elitist ski town kids more like it.
