Have you ever tried something you weren't trying to do on a rail or jump and it worked out surprisingly well and looked sick? What was it?

tried to learn switch ups on this flat rail and i set my ski and bucked a 180 but over rotated and did a b-fed/ k-fed. not sure the difference is k fed where you go pretzel off from the way you did a switch up

Back in like 2002 I was in the Whistler Open at High north, and had always had this idea in my head to hit a quarter pipe and do a 180 to late frontflip. Never even came close to trying it before competition day and one run it just hit me at the bottom of the tranny to go for it.

Ended up being a super cool McTwist type of rotation. Never did it again though.

I tried just doing a 270 on a drop rail, but got nervous and sending it too hard. I ended up doing a front change on the drop and setting up perfectly for a pretz 2 out. And that's the story of my first 270 to Ellen D.

Over rotated a 90 onto a box and spun a 180 on the box itself.

It's cool because it's true. I'm pretty sure that's because you are more used to the rotation of a cork 7 than like a sideflip or flat 3 (which you need for sw rodeo 5). You hit the jump switch and it was sw 180 to whatever your most comfortable off axis trick was (cork 7), instincts are cool and so are you.

A friend was taking the first drop on a nice big kicker we just made, he was planning to just take it straight, no grab. Ended up carving a little accidentally and landed a huge 180 to late 180. He was very mindfucked when he rode away to say the least.

Went to ride the chair lift the whole way up. Fell off halfway through and did a 180 to face downhill during the fall. It was sick.

Our big park just opened so I was hitting this smaller park for most of the season and i kept hiking this one 2' wide tube that was 1' off the ground. Most of the time i would just throw a hard front switch up and keep spinning until the end.

Then one day I was riding with an older kid with a lot of respect from others in the park and he stopped ahead of me. He looked up at me and I hit that tube and scissored like hell and did a TRIPLE SWAP (540 swap) and it just blowed his mind.

Just felt soooo awesome to genuinely impress someone who just throws down harder than anyone else in the park.
