ReturnToMonkeyIs it frontside where your toe edge is facing uphill?
SlowbroYes. Looks 10x cooler than back
270on420outGloves look ugly on every skier even pros
C_dubVishnu is stupid
.otto.Literally 90% of pros have the worst trick selection for rails
no style at all
I swear they all lack any creativity- why the hell would you post an insta video of a line that includes a simple front 4 or back 4- do something more special jeez or atleast tweak it a bit
also
Park city sucks ass, never wanna watch a ski edit from there
and any edits that dont have the sound of the skis hitting the rails automatically takes an L in my book
Jesse_I don't like daffy butters or @Tophaloaf simply because the trick is ridiculously easy (learnt it in about 10 mins) and I find the hype surounding it as a godly trick kinda annoying.
Might just be me but I don't get how he has such a big following for spamming easy as shit tricks like daffy butters or jumping over box and people will call it insane or "revolutionary"
gvski13Wish he didnt make them in China but love the ski
SofaKingSickplus i'd argue it's a pretty cool idea, hasn't every skier in school dreamed about hitting forbidden fruit in the building?
C_dubBrah i posted that like 7 years ago

Farmville420Factual statement. I remember one time at love pass I put a log in front of the DFD so I could do some baby crusher tricks on it with some snowboarders and some other skiers came over from the flat tube and asked if they could take out the log to session the dfd. Obvs let them but after two hits (no exaggeration) of not even trying anything they just went back to the flat tube for another few hours. It makes no sense sometimes like how do people not get bored.
TOAST.I could and have hiked a flat tube for hours. So many different variation of tricks you can do with very little consequence.
ReturnToMonkeyHuge fat tubes (diameter of 18"+ like what Copper has) are harder than smaller diameter tubes (like 12" max) and less fun than any other jib feature.
Farmville420Yeah I mean that's the idea but at Love Pass every feature is low consequence and we have had plenty of skiers get upset whenever we decide to build anything remotely difficult if it involves using one of the 10 pvc tubes there. Even if we leave the main flat tube and build using the smaller tubes, skiers still get mad that we are using space that could be used for another flat tube or basic down tube.
armchair_skierGloves are cool now
Also it’s been warm as fuck this season so I’ve worn my mittens like once
Thegenericskiergloves should only be used when riding with poles, without poles gloves are unacceptable
SlowbroJon Olsson had some super expensive Cross and Colmar suits (cross one was sick af)
BradFiAusNzCoCaI cut my thumb open once at App Ski Mtn. I fell without gloves on and hand hit the edge. Lady lectured me for like 10 minutes at ski patrol/first aid lol
cool270outHenrick looks completely uncomfortable and dumb skiing pow in that last insta post
LemuelI have the Jon Olsson Cross suit in 2xl and it’s fucking sick
SlowbroThe white and brown one? There was one for sale around here last year I shoulda sprung. It's like a luxury G suit haha. The black and white one from a few years later was cool too
Dr_Richard_HertzFlat spin is when you set forward and your hips don't go above your head. It's called a flat spin and it only makes sense that you would spin on a flat axis. Also StompIt tutorial guy agrees with me and usually he knows what's up (sorta). I swear everyone says it's the other way around, but I will die on this hill if need be.
LemuelI have the black and white one, not sure I’m familiar with the white and brow
LemuelI’ll die on that hill with you my dude. The flat 3 / wackflip debate gets me every time. The only way to do a true flat 3 would be in a pipe.
Slowbrohttps://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/1083251/flatspin-360
I can flat 3 on jumps without going inverted, but it gets exponentially harder as jumps get bigger. And yeah a real flat 3 shouldn't be inverted, but no one calls inverted ones rodeo 3s so now people think that rodeos aren't inverted and flats are.
Rock_InhabitantI don’t even understand how either axis works
Slowbroflat and rodeo? A flatspin is bringing your feet up in front of you and then across your body, a rodeo is kicking a leg over the opposite shoulder and flipping on a crooked axis. In practice though people use both terms for both tricks, and when you add a lot of spin they become hard to tell apart from bios too. I probably just made it more confusing for you
skiermanYou have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
SlowbroAt least I can do them on skis.
