Look like someone is again pushing skiing in a other direction! I think that this sw rodeo 3 to pretzel 180 was insane!!!! It look SO technical and I don't even uderstand how he do that. And It's nice to see other new trick than double cork, rodeo or whatever! Let me know what you think about this!

for those who don't know what I'm talking take a look at this!

silky smooth in the air.  That was incredible.  Big question though - For directional changes on a rail, you"scissor" it, but how do you get a grip on the air?  Would seem to be just an exagerated shifty to me.

Gagnier is all about doing really hard stuff, but I have to see that at a different angle.  Interesting idea.

ya but with the rodeo revert gagnier is still going with his momentum, just in an awkward way. pep actually changes his momentum with air resistance but not on purpose

these tricks don't look good though, its just like.. bad skiing. i was helping my british friend get 5's the other day on his first one he was too scared to land switch again but had the rotation and did the exact same thing... its not stylish its just ugly
