a few times depending on what I'm skiing and trying. last week it was a pow day and I went to the side of a trail to cut through the woods to another trail but I forgot there was a wall of ice under the fresh so I hit it and one ski came off and I continued along as if nothing had changed except one skis wasn't on and it was sitting right there a few feet behind me still upright and where it dropped off. it was funny at the time if the story makes sense.

Depends what I'm doing but usually only once every other time. Most of the time I just fall hard on my side though. My skis really don't pop off much.

All depends on the day, sometimes it never happens, and some day i could loose a ski almost 5-6 times.

So today I tried to nose butter, and I pressed really hard trying to get wayy up there, and I ejected onto my face booking it.
I thought it was pretty damn funny.

depends on how hard im throwing down and if im trying something new

the speed at the tables my park has set up is really hard to judge so alot of ppl are casing on there spins and ejecting on the table.. meaning they have to hike back up to the top of the table and grab their ski, that can be a bitch

I'll pop out around 3-5 times a season.  I keep my bindings tight, and I'm rad.

Amen. But more like, "If you're not falling, you're not trying hard enough stuff."
You gotta be pushin that envelope!
