make sure you have sharp edges skiing pipe on park skis (skis you hit rails with and have no edges) is a bitch you cant carve up the walls and you slide all over

You're popping too early, wait until it feels unbearabley late before you pop.

The way I first hit a 5 in the pipe is I just flew down the side of the pipe wicked ass fast and then dropped in with about 40 mph of speed...

then I didnt even need to spin so fast and I still had plenty of time to set up my landing... should have gone for the 7 though.. i had plenty of air to do it..

going off axis makes it cooler, just be sure u have enough air to bring your skis down after the spin.
