iv seen skiers hit small ones switch before, but nothing huge. so are there any skiers who can hit big hips switch? id say chris turpin could prolly do it well...

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?

'Dude dont worry its impossible to get hurt on this hip' My words of confidence to stephan waldie just before he hits the hip and brakes his coller bone/sholderblade.

a zero is taking off switch and landing switch without doing any spin, pollard does them very good.

i saw some guy throw a zero off the hip after the first table-top at the stratton park. it wasn't anything huge, but it was still pretty sweet.

I don't think any spin under 180 degrees should be called unnatural, especially on a hip, how else are you going to turn if it's one sided w/o doing more than 90.

Yea pretty much, a real zero spin would be hardcore shit, zero spin to edge catch and slam/slide out

Hips are easy to hit switch. like it is not that diferent than a jump. and easier than a half pipe. it works really good for switch corked spins, cuz the steap take off sets you in the right position to float it off axis.
