always remember seeing an ESF instructor standing on his skis as a child and even then i thought it looked sick. by standing on your skis i mean tucking your knees up under so your weight is balanced on the weight of your skis.

here is andreas giving us a demo:

ahh whatever it's not bad for your skis... just breaks them in a little makes them softer.
