is he double jointed or did that just take a lot of stretching? i have a plan to stretch my foot as if i was doing a mute so that i can get spancerized. would this work?

stretch every time you go skiing and everyday before bed and when you wake up. you become so much more flexible and its not that hard.

your foot has nothing to do with it, it is going to stay in the same spot relative to your shin no matter what because of your boot.

Its the knee that bends.

He just has super flexible ankles. Apparently when he skied on the silverstar team or whatever and they got fitness tests his ankles were a stupid amount above the average.

that wouldnt make a difference. your ankles only have a cerntain range of movement in your ski boots

Pretty sure it's his hips. You ankles can't move that much in a ski boot.

That makes no sense though. Theres definately something in his knees, since ankles have minimal movement in a ski boot. Its also his hips apparently as well.

man hips have nothing to do with it I'm pretty sure. My guess goes to a combination of the knee AND the ankle. both.
and for those who told it's an ugly grab, I'm half with you. I think it makes horrible pictures when he super-dooper tweaked, but in real-time action, it's crazy awesome!

Everytime I try to tweak my mutes that hard I rip my ski off :(  And yes I have bindings and a correct din, I just pull really hard.

yeah colby west came from the largest family of circus folk in the north east he was an acrobat/ body contorsionist as a child that is why he is so flexable

is it even possible to have triple jointed hips becuase i read that too and told my science teacher and he sid its not possible becuase the hip is a ball and socket so its impossible to have triple jopinted hips becuase its not really a joint

they help him spin so fast. you can see when he lets go that it releases a bunch of energy and gives him another 360
