teles don't allow any of the new innovative tricks. thats why i quit. no butters, switch sucks, and no legit pressing on rails

Bullshit. Switch kicks serious ass, butters aren't really butters but are super fun, and I got your legit nose press in my pants...and switch tele kicks ass, and I can press the shit out of most anything.
And switch tele kicks ass.

I've been experimenting with lots of grabs where i pull my heel up. They're awkward feeling but they may look cool, i don't know, i don't have video. The coolest idea in my opinion is a critipan and tweaking the shit out of the japan half. kicks the tail WAY out.
Tele'ers try it and let me know what you think, and let me in on any other good ideas...

I know in Propoganda that there is one teleskier in it. But that movie was made ages ago. My philosophy teacher tele skis and we always talk about skiing on our breaks. He's a cool dude and I think when I grow up and have money I might try tele skiing. Looks challenging but fun.

The only time I regret tele skiing are when trying falling on my face and watching ski movies at the beginning of the season. Then I just watch some freeheeler ripping powder and go "Oh yeah now i remember why I love it." Shits amazing to just rip it in powder.

when i went out west, i watched a ski patroller, with full gear and packs on. hit a 70 foot jump, do the smoothest 180 ive ever seen, and ride straight outta the park switch, ON TELEMARKS!!!

i couldent beleive it. i chased him down for the next run and to this day i havent seen a better telemarker skiier anywhere.
