According to a Sunday River park ranger, Dumont can now rock back on his skis and frontflip on the flatground; no rollers or anything. Anyone have videos, cuz im not sure thats possible.

he used to be a gymnast, so I could see him being able to do that - I bet he fucks shit up on a trampoline...

Snowboarders do that since years...
It might be harder for skiers, but should be possible.

snow ballerinas used to do them with their poles so i can see how it is possible.

maybe he was using his poles, that sounds like the only likely possibility

i don´t get it.. i mean if he´d lean forward while skiing switch and than do a frontflip.. that would make sense.. but lean back??

hes dirty so i wouldnt doubt it, i was riding up rc chairlift and he starts bombing down to the biggest jump which was only like 30 ft, but with a huge knoll before the landing, he carves left into the knoll, plants his hand on the ground and does like a cork 3, kinda looked like a barrel roll, so insane

that sounds hard, you would need short skis i think.
good thing he is a short lion, cause a tall lion might hit thier head.

Yeah, if you can ollie high enough I'm sure you can do it. I'm not surprised, I mean it's not like it will be implemented in competitions or anything, its just fucking around.

no, you load up on your tails and you can pop really high, leaning back popping and throwing all your weight forward would cause you to do a front flip.
i could see sombody doing that.
