did you do it on the landing of a jump?

like, not off a knoll, but on the landign itself?

cos it sure looks like you had nothing at ALL to pop off.  and for that, i saw congratulations!

Wow, that had to hurt.  Did you try one off a booter first?  More air time could've helped.  I just landed my first backie last weekend, but was worried about myself being in one of those pics.

how did you fail so bad? if you pop off your noses you're already a third of the way around before your skis leave the ground
