theabortionatorI'm only 6'3" but I'm chugging milk as we speak and your record shall be donezo by the weekend. Enjoy it while you can.
PistilHerbalThose are pretty cool, maybe a bit too much shuffle for my liking, how does being taller make it harder to spin of rails though?

Hanging upside down like a bat while watching netflix and tying myself between cars to get stretched out has been helping. I have a few ore inches in me.

LJboibeing tall definitely makes it harder to spin/flip and with overall balance, alongside with the struggle to look steezy. I bet flips are also harder because you can’t learn them on a small jump without underotating
iFlipPlease use poles.
Please claim less.
Please try harder.
john180618061. No screw you, this is a Minnesota skier and poles are useless here dead serious. It's pretty rare to see a park skier with poles in Minnesota nowadays.
2/3. Everyone ought to.
Christian, dank post. Legendary responses from Borty too.
But I gotta tell ya. Height ain't shit! It likely has little to nothing to do with skiing ability and you shouldn't ever think it does. It's all about the natural talent/coordination/athleticism you were born with and how you develop those skills.
The whole tall park skiers having it hard is only because you giants are so few and far between. Less that 0.1% of the world's population is over 6'7". That means if you've got 1,000 park skiers there's only gonna be one Christian mingle type. Let's say 10 of these skiers are professional. With these odds you'd need a pool of 1,000,000 skiers to possibly have one pro at 6'7''. It's just a numbers game, same reason why theres a general difference in skill between males and females- because it's a fucking sausage fest. There's biological factors that also play in but it's primarily driven by numbers.
That said, because you're 6'7" you're at a 1 to 1000 statistical disadvantage so I'll give you the bragging rights. But you're also an individual and individual cases don't have to follow what the stats say. So that said, I want you to get your ass on a rail again, drop that heel and pop hard as fuck off the rail so you can show all these downvoters what a stomped ass 6'7" front 450 looks like. And don't forget to bang the shit out of it!
iFlipI like your username but that's where the love stops.
Please get longer skis.
Please use poles.
Please claim less.
Please try harder.
kthx
YourboybangsThat's not a front 4, that's a fabricated front four
ChristianMingleHa I appreciate it 1806. Gonna have to wait till next year with the knee but we'll get a cleaner one at some point. I agree that height doesn't have much to do with ability but it's something to claim so why not
