Just got done watching "Save."  His urban segment is amazing. HUGE lip nose, lip tail back 2, switch hard way to switch, 270 nose, lip frontside switch up, etc., etc., all on gnarly-ass rails with no jump.  

And his OTHER segment where he is skiing sick pillow lines and throwing switch nines in powder isn't too bad either.

I like him.

"hard way" is the dumbest term ever.  what the hell is it?  lip 270?  unnatural 270?  what is wrong with those?  they make a lot more sense.  a lot of shit is hard.

she's not talking about a 270 one dude... she's talking about getting on switch... but not switch lip.  It's a hard way to do it.... thus switch on the hard way.  I knew exactly what she meant.

especially with NO LIP!!!  frank's two segments in "save" just completely blew my mind...his first one was sick - tons of good pow shots - but then it ended and i was like "what? where's the handrail domination?" but they saved it for the closing segment (good call). SO sick.

U of U Save/Wanderland premiere tonight is gonna be sick -  three of the best urban skiers ever - frank, will, lj - all together...now if only ahmet would film with plehouse or someone...eh i guess he has some wanderland shots...

probably less sense to people who don't skate or don't know skate terms.

yeah, except it would be tailslide 270 out, not bluntslide 270 out cause it is a lip.  but yeah, i think that makes way more sense and is way more logical.
