Im going to Liberty Mountian Snoflux to ski and ride. Thier main jump looks like 45 feet or so and it puts you up decently high. I want to throw my first double back there but holy fuck im scarred. Any tips or suggestions?

practice on a tramp or water ramp first to get the rotation down.

I live in Ohio. Never been there but going on a trip there in acouple weeks. They say on thier website that its softer then snow. Is thst not true? Why don't I want to do it on Snowflex?

I've never been, but I live in DC and should be heading up in a week or so. From what I've heard, it is in fact softer than landing on snow. Also, I've heard it's extremely easy to progress your jump game, because the kicker/landing is the exact same every time and you don't have to worry about variable speed, snowpack, etc. Lastly, I saw a vid of a guy do a double back somewhere on here, so it's definitely possible. Check around and see if you can find it so you can get a feel for how much you have to huck

its deff not 45 feet (more like 30-35) youd have to go real big to stomp a dub back w/o hucking it but yea liberty is wayy softer than snow but sometimes you hit dry/wet spots so one ski with be fast and the other always stops its weird

I wouldn't recommend doing it on snowflex. If you live in Ohio, why wouldn't you go to Ohio Dreams and give it a shot on the water ramps? That would be a much safer alternative.

it is probably alot less forgiving than snow, probably harder to set the rotation, and it is easier to fall on, plus you will get mad rug burn

but if you got it on tramp, and you are comfortable with single backs, i would say you got it, just remember

POP, or else this will happen

my cousin goes to school there and skis it all the time. he says it will take off your skin if theres any thats exposed when you fall. just cover up.
