The lure of the 'windlip huck' is one of sheer animalistic attraction for us skiers. The fact that good old mother nature can hook us up with such a prime, ready-to-go jump gives many of us, what I like to call, a 'jump boner'. Yet this attraction, like a venus fly trap to a fly or that last jager shot to the drunk après skier at 2am, can often lead to a level of carnage that ranges between awesome and horrific.
From Candide's most recent overshoot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmFMS43rrG8), to which even Big Air Dave would give a nod of approval, to the Alaskan wind lip which gently handed Dana Flahr and T-Hall a spanking which would make Chuck Norris cry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE5ZWg0orhc) to the wind lip on the Blackcomb Glacier which regularly proves that Charles Darwin was on the right track (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YFLTfdeXZo), the failed windlip huck can leave us crying like Dumont with a silver medal (I still heart you Simon).
But for every cloud, there is a silver lining. The rush of backflips, the joy of seeing others fail at backflips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI1od1qQuvQ), the usually soft landing on the other side of the lip and the fact that we don't have to build a jump all add to our love of the windlip.
NSers, I implore you to celebrate your windlip successes here and, conversely, make us laugh with your epic fails.
TL;DR-Windlips,good vs bad; tell us your story.
