Are there any tricks out there have not yet been completed by skiers? I'm talking about something legitimately hard/technical that just has never been attempted/landed. I'll even take something that's only been done once or twice. Not counting quads, super spins, etc...
sw 90 revert 270 on jumps. I've only seen it twice, pep fujas at JOSS (kind sketchy, potentially an accident?)and Iver Håkonsen in the trashparty movie last year (more of a switch shifty to opp switch 1, but really close). Like I want to see a smooth one on a large jump
actually air pretzels where the first spin is smaller then the second in general

This is what sort of spurred my question. I've seen the video but couldn't remember what you'd call that trick.

This is a shitty one from a couple years ago , could definitely do it better/bigger

VinnieF360 to ski slide on a down rail. maybe that's been done. I've never seen it. switch 3 definitely hasn't been done though.
sorry but can we all agree to not call them ski slides? sounds like a 10 year old named it, and it's so nebulous...it's like we called a certain jump trick an "air turn"

nah. it's a hell of a lot less nebulous than 'k-fed' or 'misty'. not ever having seen skiing it's one of the few tricks someone could just maybe envision from the name.

true (re: k fed and misty) but those are jargon-y and don't attempt to describe the trick. ski slide just sounds the same to me as when little kids ask if i can do grind rails
why not 50/50? because you want to differentiate between one foot or both feet?

Yeah for ne a ski slide is one foot on top of the rail, other foot is on the side, while a 50/50 is both feet on top of the rail.
e.litttYeah for ne a ski slide is one foot on top of the rail, other foot is on the side, while a 50/50 is both feet on top of the rail.
LbirdYeah, a 50/50 is 2 feet together on the rail. If we were to keep going with the skateboarding nomenclature, a ski slide would be called a 5-0 maybe
yeah, ive always just said 50/50 vs one foot 5050 (which admittedly isnt the best naming system haha)
side note im pretty sure a 5-0 in skating is like a 50/50 except only on the back truck
KENDOZER2 on Hellen Keller would be pretty insane. You don't often seen "double pretzel" tricks, they hard
I was trying that at camp this winter but didn't get close. I'll try to skirp one this summer but summer setup 4 outs are definitely not the easiest of tricks.
on the subject of air pretzels a couple years ago i saw an instagram video of some guy from Sweden i think do a sw dub shifty to other way 180 in blackpark. pretty sure he was also at creation nation last year.
i've looked for the vid but cant find it, if anyone know the vid i'm talking about plz post it i gotta see that shit again.

after searching through the deepest darkest corners of the internent i have found a legit air pretzel
quad has been done in aerials. But nobody in 'newschool' skiing really wants quads because the sport is more based around style and originality rather than 'spin to win'.
