when was it popular before that it's now coming back? in order to qualify as a "come back", it has to have been popular, then died in popularity. skiers have only been routinely doing zero spins for a few years now, and even then it was only a few people doing them often.

i realize that it is also called a zero spin, however, when twin tips first came out in the 90's, zero or no-spins became popular- it has been my observation that they have note been extremely prominent since they first came out- at least in maine VT and NH

what the fuck are you talking about...

Sorry for the hate, but just close your mouth and deal with it being called a Zero spin and that it never died down, then recently resurrected.  Just leave it at, its a sick ass trick that looks good with shifties, nose grabs and double nosegrabs, and maybe tailgrabs.

The term originated on Ski PIG. I can't remember who the rider was (it's been a long time) but after being told to do a zero degree spin he declared "I think I'm gonna do it switch."

not many people can make them look good, thats why you don't see them that often. Back when twin tips first came out i saw lots of people doing them, but not good.
