Hucking a near 7 and hoping you actually pull up short enough to tap the bottom of the rail? But hey what do I know?

IS that hard or is it just ballsy?

it is not at all about "hucking a near 7 and hoping..." it takes so much skill and balance to do a trick like that. it's not just a 7 with a tap. now i can't say i've done 630's onto a rail, but i have done 450's and there's no way that i just do a 5 and hope to tap the rail. you have to stop your spin at a point to make sure you can slide it, and i don't just "tap" the bottom, i actually slide it after spinning. and if it takes a 630 on to win, then so be it, that's such a sick trick

thank you for realizing how much skill it takes to spin more than a 270 onto a fucking rail kt, you actually have to know what you are doing and land balance or you will be eating rail for the next hour

No doubt, it takes precision to stop the rotation at the point of contact. I just think that it takes alot more courage than skill to actually do it. Wish we could be there. oh well.

how are you on your third pair? get them warrentied, then you just pay shipping instead of for a brand new pair. oh wait, you have dynastars, and their warrenty dept. sucks.

Dynastars warranty department was awesome for me. I made it clear that I really needed the skis back ASAP, so I two day aired em up there, they got there Friday, and the skis are back in my hands by Tuesday. That sounds like pretty good service to me...

other people have gotten screwed over when dynastar claimed the skis broke from "rail damage." skis dont snap in half from rail damage. oh well, could have been a fluke, but their skis are sick.

i had 05 armada ar5's, i snapped the back binding in half and delam on the front of the ski, so im waiting on new s912 ti salomon bindings and 06 ar5s all from the factory, and i snapped my s914 bindings on my k2 public enemies so im waiting to get them back from the factory and not to mention edge repair on the skis down at the local ski shop, but now im on a pair of 182 crichton pros with look p12ti which are by far the best ski out of all of them. atleast i think. if these break im taking them to the dynastar rep at jackfrost and ill go from there.. not to mention i still owe the kid i bought these off of mad cash hah.. all in all, i beat the shit outta my skis regardless of what they are or how new they are..

Yeah - ironically, dorsey may have got the offending hit on tape. You have to watch all the way to the end of this clip to see his ski launch straight up in the air. http://media.putfile.com/Web-Christmas-Park-Update

yes i know...but i kindof suck...i dont think i could do it....

oh and jared---will you be coaching this weekend? mats got midterms on monday or something so he cant make it.

and about skis...last year i had line mavericks and they delaminated on the tail and whenever i skied fakie i would have to clear all the snow out again and try to bend it back... the snow would spray up super high, too...ah those were the days...

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

[quote]The Oakley Pocono Rail Jam has been moved to Big Boulder (Jack Frost's sister resort) due to lack of snow. With no snowmaking temperatures in the forecast, We are moving the Oakley Pocono Rail Jam to Big Boulder where there is ample amounts of snow to build a world class Feature for our contest. Registration times and event schedule remain the same.[/quote]

We were at BB on Sunday 1/28 and surprised by the amount of base there. The new owners and new guns definitly pumped it out. Under the radar.... check em out!

i was really looking forward to it..since we would already be at frost anyway...argggg
cant frost hold a comp...EVER?! not that i have ANYTHING against boulder...but honestly! and i understand they had to move this comps b/c theres no snow, but why didnt the owners put new guns at frost , too? they could've like, divided them up between the two mountains or something...but nooooo...just boulder...ugh. this blows.

but..i did hear that winter's coming back next week... so hopefully frost can blow snow then.....man do we need it...
