i'd say if you can do it on a tramp, and jumping off something, and you have good air sense, you'll be able to stick it on skis...
just commit, is all i can say

pick the jump you want to do it off of and start doin 540s with grabs nice and smooth over it, then when you feel comfortable, go for the misty


Dont get gloves though, gloves are out. just use a cigarette to keep your hands warm.

Just Do It
-NIKE

Its almost the same as doing them on a tramp, and once you try it, if you don't land it then you can compensate for whatever you did wrong on the first one.

Yeah I wanna start throwin misty 5s too. Before I got into this stuff on skiing, I was doing them on a tramp for a long time, like for 5 years now. So they come very naturally to me. However, the one thing I question about doing them on a jump is, how BIG should it actually be to get the rotation? Cause your momentum is going somewhat against the nature of the jump...I dunno, I figure if i find something big enough I'll try to throw down. No big deal, they shouldn't be that hard.
I bet if you can throw a pretty smooth 540 on it, you are set to go. All you gotta do is throw it inverted.


We'll have you dead pretty soon.

I first learned misty's earlier this season, and they are much easier than they are made out to be. First of all, it is much easier to do one off a bigger jump than a small one. Make sure you have a soft landing on the jump also in case you fall. As for actually doing it, when you throw it, make sure you aren't throwing really hard down towards your ankles because that will cause you to more of an off-axis frontflip with a twist at the end. Making sure you pop off the jump is important as well. When I did it, it was just kind of a feel thing. When my body felt like I had come around, I started looking for the landing and because I had gone off a bigger jump, I had a little bit to find it and stick it. Just go out, think about yourself doing it then do it. If you just throw it and have a friend watching, they can tell you what looked wrong so you can fix it. And last but most importantly, make sure you have acutally committed to the trick before you went off. There were a group of guys learning them with me, and just about everyone else took at least one or two runs where they went up then pussied out. It's much better to fall trying than to have never tried at all.

also make sure you hav a good amount of speed going into the jump.....if you feel you moving 'slow' into it u prob wont land it first time trying em. Wit a misty u hav to hav good momentum into the jump or u wont be able to throw around back to ur feet

when i bring tricks to skis ie: mistys. go for a little bit bigger jump so you get more air. Since your starting out your rotation is going to be a bit slower and the Last thing you want is coming up short and bailing head first.

straight 5 the jump so you know the speed of the rotation then just throw it differently so you misty. like look over your shoulder as you drop your upper body forward...

This was my misty attempt at the very end of last season. Do everything I didnt do, and you'll stick it.

i learned them on a small jump at the windlip this summer, but i can tell from my videos of it, the ones i landed okay were when i went a little bigger, so a bigger jump definatly does help....

I can't do misty flips but i'm thinkin about trying one pretty soon. Anyways i don't think you'd make it off a table smaller than 20 feet. But thats just a guess i don't know for sure.
