I am learning to do freestyle trick skiing. I found this tutorial on how to do a spread eagle. I have three question after watching it.
#1: at 30 seconds when he says "come up to the launch pad" does this mean the jump?
#2: he also talks about visualizing the spread eagle, what are some ways you guys visualize doing spread eagles.
#3: does anyone know where i can find the jacket and oakley goggles he is wearing in this video.

Bahahahahha that video is funny..."advanced ski techniques". THe launch pad is the takeoff area of the jump or like the last few feet of the jump. I dont visualise doing spread eagles becuse I dont really like doing them except for anything then fucking around and Im not thinking when tht is the case.

This one will show you some more advanced freestyle maneuvers which you can try after you master a spread eagle, daffy and helicopter.



Here is some urban stuff for you to see as well.
Enjoy!

Expert village has some good stuff. But learning in person is the best way to learn. Ask some of your friends who ski for tips. or some other guys at the resort. Im sure they'd be happy to help
