You are not going to believe this but i have a friend who started skiing last year for the first time and he can 540 and 720 almost every time on big jumps too.. unnatural 360.... switch 180 and 360... natural and unnatural 270s onto boxes occasionally on rails... and unnatural slides too.. he only went 55 times last year and is one crazy motherfucker

55 times is a lot of times... but yea that is pretty killer although I say its easier to come into a sport like this later sometimes or if you already have established ppl around you to learn from...

I started rails my first day of the season, on a very small Flat Down. I tried that twice.

The next day I went skiing, and slid a short flat rail like 8 times.

The next day, I slid a 30 foot flat rails, that was 3 feet off the ground. And on my third try, I 270'd out.

I feel like I'm progreesing pretty fast on rails. I can't wait to go try again.

"Only 55 times!"
For the rest of us that can only go up 25-35 times max because of horrible snow conditions and shit assed terrain parks (i speak of only the northshore mountains), then its different.

Yea, if you go 55 times, thats insane, ul learn to know exactly what to do if you go every single day. I progrees slow, but I only go 30 times a year.

I think in my best year I probably hit high 40s, 13-15 of those were at real mtns too, not just the local hill... if I had a real mtn nearby I'd hit it up constantly

My buddy (who has never done anything but groomers) learned how to slide natural and unnatural in under an hour in the backyard on a 15ft. long rail... No twin tips, just some old junk skis.

this is the reason people are breaking away from who can huck into who has the best style, because style is something that takes time to progress and you have to be comfortable on your skis to have style, any crazy guy can go out and learn skeettch ass pencil spins and be athletic enough to pull out of them (not to take anything away from that its still pretty hard) but to make it look good is a whole other level, and im guessig this guy isn't there yet, but hes on his way keep it up.
