So we all know jf cusson won the x-games like 5 years ago with his switch7 and beat out jonny moseley. so i was checking the vid out on expn.com and it just so happens that that switch 7 was unnatural. if you don't believe me check the vid! that trick is a hammer today and he did it like 5 years ago...and hasn't done it ever since. i find this so weird because that was the only time i ever saw jf hit a jump switch and it was such a freaking hard trick geez i'm so confused and where is he now?

do you know for a fact what his natural direction of spinning is? for most people, leftside is natty, rightside unnatty, but i know people where it's different... but anyways, that guy is the man nonetheless.

this is probly dumb... but is there a connection between the direction u spin and ur dominant hand??? if not then why does like 80% of skiers spin left and the rest spin to the right(natty, of course). just curious

im guessing it was his "natural" spinning direction at the time, a long time ago i used to spin left switch and right forward, and then one day i spun left forward and im sure he would throw his more compfortable spin for an x games trick, but yeh 1242 he does a lot both ways

In State of Mind he was doing 3's both ways, but at that time it didnt seem to mean anything. This is where everyone started spinning to win, so being able to do a 3 both ways would of meant shit. At least this is what first hand experience tells me.

that's ironic cause thed chorus to his song in Propaganda goes like "where are we, were are we now?"

all of jf's spins were to unnatty in 1242, exceptr for the biggie of the segment, and that one he goes leftside (natural for him) off it...its in the commentary, and ive no life while i recover from surgery so i watch the commentaries

i remember watching that on tv, and hearing that description. Thing is, back then, a switch 7 was fucking huge and didn't really have a name yet...

hehe, I was in the booth with those guys, working for espn back then, and we were just figuring out what to call a lot of stuff. Unnatural was still a rollerblading term and hadn't really worked it's way into skiing vernacular yet. I still remember uncle e's call on the replay: "Canadians don't have good tans," [circling JF's white stomach on the screen.]

Interesting side note on terminology: my roommate works for Skateboarder Magazine, and chuckles whenever I use "switch" to describe a ski trick. He thinks fakie is more accurate.

his 1242 segment wasn't that impressive he did like unnatural 7's and 3's most of the time.

2002 x-games slope finals, money booter, vinnie dorion, switch cork 10. only person to do it, and it was years ahead of its time, especially for a slope run.

the new canadian air force was on top of the x-games for a long time, whether we knew it or not.
