I am usually able to land on one ski (when I lose one on take off or something) and I can go for a while, but when I try to stop is when I go down hard....anyone have any really bad expereiences with one ski on

I lost my ski doing a sw cork 7 at ygo. I really suck at landing backwards one ski so yes I died.

But doing rails and tables landing regular with one ski I dont find too hard.
Although it is a shoker for sure.

yesterday, I did a 180 over a table and then my brake plate on my binding snapped. Some how I landed,but my ski went flying down the hill. And I had to chase it down the moguls on one skiing, and some supid kids were laughing at me.

i just remembered another one from the beginning of the season. it was like the second box thing i hit that day. there was a bit of an ollie onto the box, mabey 6-8 inches. well somehow, mabey i was tired or something, but i didnt ollie high enough and one of my skis popped off. i slid the whole box on one ski, but slipped out right at the end.

There is an American ski racer in the paraolympics that skis on one ski. His name is Monte Maier or something.

He gets all the chicks...

When SAS Films comes back online there's a video of a kid doing a switch 9 I think and riding away clean when his ski comes off on the take off. He then hits the money booter doing a donkey kick.
