That jump could be triple flipable? Jon got the Dub Cork down and still had a decent amount of height/ momentum

whats wrong with triples? its not progression for the sake of progression, its to see what can be done, whats possible. i think on a big jump a triple could EASILY be done steezily, with a grab. remember how hideous switch tens used to look? and now henrik does switch 14s that look smoother than any switch 10 ive ever seen.

Whats wrong with racers?  They are technically the best skiers in the world cause their technique is so perfect. I know a lot of kids that race and they also slay in the park. don't hate on racers.

A kangaroo flip is a double flip variation that Jon popularized a few years ago. I believe he learned the trick in Australia, thus the name. Not 100% sure on that...

Anyways, most people would say it's a double rodeo 900 (or flatspin, depending on who's throwing it). He does one at 4:02 in the vid posted. I've heard people describe it as a dub underflip, or even a 90 dub lincoln 90.

Yniq is a "premium/high-end" goggle/eyewear company owned by Jon. As far as I know, they have yet to release anything to the public.

As far as the footy....wow. That jump is fucking humongous. Get Lucky was a super good flick, and I expect no less this year from Field Productions. Pumped.

And I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people on here started out as racers. I mean you can't go from being a beginner to a freeskier. Being a racer gives you confidence on the snow, and teaches good skiing technique/ balance.

When it comes to freedom and stoke, racing might not be up there with freeskiing. but for working on ability, its pretty dope.
