Brokens

Twaddler · 2008-03-12 18:05:47

I looked on the search bar for this already and there wasnt any conclusive advice. Just wondering if it's possible for one of average flexibility to do a broken grind. if so, how would i go about doing it?

they're not hard to do, just hard to do well. oh, and way easier on boxes, they can be catchy on rails till you get used to it.

i think more than anything its hard to make them look clean, once you get the style down, and the welt on your knee nice and solid youll be able to get them done no problem

Last time I tried to do a Broken on a box, my skis edge got caught and I just fell off. That was the first time I tried it so I just said forget it after I fell. How could I do it without catching an edge next time?

i have been doing them for a while... boxes are way easier, once you got it down try spinning out. i can get some 270s and it looks pretty bad ass, as you stand up pop and spin...
