1. I did notice the nollies on the box, but A NOLLIE IS JUST A WAY TO POP
2. Skiing switch is just a way to ski

i think you are the stubborn idiot that cannot admit he was wrong. sv420 has provided far more evidence that a nollie is not a trick, than you have that a nollie is a trick. besides, these have been around forever, so why is there so much hype all of a sudden about such an easy, old "trick"?

I would love for you to show me how he provided more evidence than I did.

Lastly, on a skateboard is a nollie not a trick?? yes its "just a way of popping" as sv420 puts but its a different, harder way of doing it, If it wasn't a trick than why do you go out of your way to name it? if someone nollie 360s on a skateboard or nollies onto a rail do you not say nollie lip in for example, or do you not say nollie kick flip? you DO because it is the name of the trick. Why is it any different for skiing?

so, by your logic, a "straightline" is a trick, as well as a "carve"?

Your "evidence" was a video showing what a nollie is and everybody knows what a nollie is, but you have yet to provide evidence of why it is a trick, so you are left with two options:

1. provide evidence or an argument of why a nollie is a trick
or
2. agree to disagree and stop being a stubborn little kid

Also, the name came from skateboarding, and yes when skateboarding it is harder to nollie than ollie, but when you are skiing your skis are attached to your feet making an ollie, a nollie, or just a straight off the ground pop the same level of difficulty, like zero difficulty.

okay look, I am tired of this. If you want to keep thinking that a nollie is the same thing and the same level of difficulty as just jumping straight up then fine. Next time you find yourself approaching a big lip in rail or handrail, do yourself a favor and try to nollie on, I'm sure you will find it just as easy as if you were to pop onto it.

Also, I appreciated your attempted at mimicking my options format. I am flattered.

I now declare this case closed and look forward to enjoying the upcoming ski season popping off jumps and onto rails in whatever fashion I want as long as were all having fun.

that swingset is baller as fuck.

as for nollies i haven't really tried them much if at all, but they don't seem very natural as a concept to me. nollies on a skateboard are pretty straight forward, but i can only get like an inch or two off the ground with those.

I'm over this too but i'm not going to abandon my statements, even if you do.

when you do a nollie onto a rail the nollie part is just as hard as if you were to ollie, it is just getting your tips back over the rails that is hard, and that is after the nollie like i said before.

Also if you ski Adrenaline chute in extremely low snow (this will make it a straightline into a mandatory jump over a rock protruding up at least three feet, with nothing too pop off of) and nollie over the rock it is not a trick, it is as sick and hard as fuck, but it is still no tick. you could even put a rail below the rock to slide and the nollie is still no trick it is just a way to pop.
