does every one remember when the progression of freestyle skiing was when everyone tried to see who could do the most twisters in a air or the biggest daffy eagle combo? Has all of that gone away becasue i still like doing thoses tricks for test hits on jumps. Who here still does the "oldschool stuff"? adn i really want to see a daffy in teh X-Games

well man, the progression has moved on, and if you really believe what you wrote, you're gonna go the way of hammer pants and vanilla ice

old school tricks are so fun. somedays me and my friend will be complete idiots and go in the park in speed suits. everyone laughs at us doin spread eagles, daffys, twisters, etc. we just sit there and laugh our asses off at the fact that we can do all the newschool tricks way better than them. doin oldschool stuff is so fun and i think it would be pretty sick if some1 threw in some oldschool in the Xgames

I always do daffys for a joke, and sometimes try and do spins with a spread to spice my day up.

Fuck testing jumps with them. I hit jumps all the time doing them but usually do a 180 while testing jumps.

Cosacks are sick if you can spread you legs that far. 180 spread eagles look so crazy too.

I saw a guy do a daffy 360 once, it was probably the coolest thing i've ever seen, because at about 90 degrees, he was in full daffy position, and it was pretty BA to see a guy straight sideways in full daffy position

It's all about the oldschool!!!!! All day long too... not just when i'm bored or just for a test jump, I throw em in everywhere. The best is the straight pencil over a huge 50 footer. stick with it so it doesn't fade and hopefully we'll see someday we'll see a spread eagle 7. who knows
