i think a 4 point is a whitetail derr with either combo of 2 points to one sude, one point to a side an three to the other, or a "half-rack" it has half of its rack missing and only had 4 points to its one side.

I'm sorry, I wasnt coached on skiing termonology as a child. I'm sure everyone in this thread has used it in practice at some point, just didnt know that had a name.

PRACTICE? sking isnt something that most people are coached on. so lay off us for now knowing what a 4 point is. the only skiers that actually go to practice are pussy racers or olympians. the rest of us just go out and rip shit for a good time and the enjoyment of skiing. thats what makes skiing so great.

a 4 poitn landing is when you do a double pole plant as you land with both of your at the same time
1 pole = 1 contact point and 1 ski = 1 contact point
so a total of 4 contact points hence 4 points landings

it is when you land with both skis and poles at the same time, its a mogul term so thats why tj and jp both know what it is, they were mogul skiers. i can't believe nobody knew that

who are you guys even skiers. a four point landing is where your hands are in front and you pole plant when you land.

we're talking basic skiing here.....apparently its possible to be so focused on steez and pole dragging that people forget/dont learn how to ski.

It wasn't, that's kind of pathetic that so many people don't have any basic ski knowledge. But I guess there's probably a large population of kids on this site that don't even plant their poles, so a 4-point landing is beyond them.
