... what would you throw? Let's say at the US Open Big Air, it's your one jump to make or break your chances of going somewhere in the industry. What would you toss, realistically?

For me it would be a zero sping.

zero spin to the friggin flat, or a double cork...

but realistically, a 360 with half a millisecond of a grab to over-rotated death.

I'd drop in naked and do a straight air, still the whole time. I would not want to be in a position where a single jump made my future, so I'd just go have fun.

Word Word. I'd still take it old school(screamin semen) kick is snowblade/early days (kangz) and then newschool extravaganaza(opp true nose)...If I couldnt dial in the semen to kang I'd just do an octet of kangz.

i would do a 180, take off one ski in the air, then throw it at the judges, spear them in the heads, land one footed after doing a 900, then i would demand to win or i would kill more judges

switch shifty cork 12 mute to tail after the shifty. Dopest trick i can think of, but it has to end in a wicked claim or else it wasn't worth it.
