yeah, kind of, i guess you get more comfortable with balance, but its kinda like saying a trampoline helps with skiing, yes it does help you feel more comfortable in the air, but you realy just do it because its fun

it would be sweet to get a ton of astro turf, so its like 50ft wide and like 200 feet long down a hill so you could butter and stuff and build jumps under the turf and stuff.

Back in January I tossed on the skis and was working on 180s and 3s in my parents room. Since it had the most room...but once I caught a corner of a dresser and gouged a chunk of it. That didnt go over well...I plan on practicing a lot this week since ill have the house to myself.

my god people. just do something else in the summer! Mountain Bike, climb, play golf, get a job, swim, anything. You do not have to ski every day of the year!

that's what I'm doing-just wetting the grass and using my brother's skateboarding rail for practice.

no wet grass is actually really sticky with skis on, best bet is astro turf, but u could always try throwing some shampoo on the grass or something...
