Spread eagles

Drail · 2006-03-09 21:59:11

am i the only one who's been loving them this winter? Seriously, I don't think I've gone a day this year without throwing out a nice stretched out spread (or 5).

we have 80's runs, some times we'll see a jump be like 80's. then do dafy and twister and spreads and stuff. its fun.

Spreads are the funniest things in the world. I saw some kid do one and almost not get his legs unspread (he went down hard)

we have 80's days. and 90's days. one piece days. neon days. i like to mix it up. but its so rad, racers and posers in new expensive shit give you the looks in the line, and then they see us rip. it shuts em up good. just imagine a switch 5 in a tight neon one piece. its the coolest thing in the world.

Do a spread and put your poles between your legs. Now that is steezy.

I'm a gigantic fan of the spread eagle crotch grab point at old ladies or mustache. Its so fun to roll up to some big ass jump were everyone is al serous and act like your gunna do something cool then throw a big ole spread. I love it.

I think that was in UP 1.2, the bonus CD w/ war i thought it was sick too, but what was cooler was the backflip 180 spread by John Symms in UP 1.2

dude, 80's tricks will never go out because they're so fun. twister spread? bodacious! Backscratcher? RADICAL! Helicopter (not a 360) COWABUNGA!

I'm heading over to my local hill to enjoy some spring skiing and maybe some righteous 80's maneuvers bra!
