depends what you way, as long as you arent bending the tips to tail/ breaking the core up(characterized by a faint crackling) youre probably alright-

Shit who cares, its worth buying a new pair of skis each season just to see someone pull something so awesome.

I can ride on my tails pretty good, its alot of fun just lean back as far as you can, your shins get use to it after awhile.

i just get up one foot at a time. i should actually worry more about bending my poles cause i gotta put all my weight over them gettting the second ski up but who the fuck cares about poles anyway? Ive seen people lean forward really hard and flip their skis back behind them and balance themselves on their poles

its accually really easy to do. i do that on my skis all the time. i could sit up there like that all day long. the trick is balance. just lean forward and you will start to bend your skis and just ride them up and balance on the tips. o yeah and dont do them with skis that have tips because i would do them on my race skis and i broke the tip off

i can do them on head race skis but not mad trix, but the thing to remember is once your legs are behind you, to bend your knees so that it feels like your feet are folding behind you, also, but a lot of weight on your poles the whole time
