yea freestyle walking is awesome. and it has to help somewhat, just doing spins over and over again means that you'll get used to and comfortable with the rotation and then on snow it'll be more natural.

yes, it helps me get over all the wanting for skiing in the summer, and it is just plain fun to do. I have to say though that i look like a complete retard when im doing it, but i think it helps with balance.

this is so fun. i love doin this.  after it rains, theres this stairset up to this slide, its like 10 feet long and me and my friends slide it and practice switchups, it is almost like skiing for reals.
