what tricks could most of you guys do by the end of your first season of newschool? this was my first season of skiing newschool. all i can do are mute, 360, 180, japan, safety, lui kang, 'kickin mute' and almost a front flip. is that about average?


meh..

why don't they put a knife on a spork? doesn't that make sense to you?

souns good for first year. but how old are you and how long have you been sking.

almost a front flip? that dont sound good. backs are so much safer---not a blind landing.

My first year with twins was this year, I learned up to 900s, zero spins, up to switch 5's, all the rails, urban rails, and cork 7's by the last week of the year. I almost got down switch misty 5's, but not quite.

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get that out of the way, then go live in an old folks home, then you should get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then on your first day at work you should get a gold watch. You work 40 years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement, you go drinking and partying, then get ready for high school. You go to elementary school, become a kid, you play, you have no responsiblities, you become a little baby, you go back and spend your last 9 months floating around in a spa and then you finish up as an orgasm!

I can do this thing where I go off the jump and flail wildly, upon landing I double eject, lose both poles, my left glove, my hat and goggles, both boots AND manage to dislocate both shoulders on impact. Its such a hard trick though, I'm saving it for the X-games.

that sounds nice! almost as good as my 540 misty to late grounded backflip. i got ALMOST 7s, 3s, almost a misty 5, and loads of grabs. I also got tons of old school stuff like daffies and back scratchers. next year will be my year for inverts!!!

1st season of NS and I could only do 3's.

I didn't get twins until January, and the mountain i spent the winter on had a shitty terrain park where I only ever saw 1 guy doing 5's..so I had nobody to watch and learn off.

This year I hope to do 5's and inverts..and rails

What gravity?

last year was my first year skiing and it took me half a year to commit to a 3 and other spins, but i had a season pass so it helped. I also tryed fronts, backs and mistys my first year on skis but they were gay so it doesent count.

I ve been skiing for a while, but only a few times a year. I never tried any spins before this year, but I can comfortably ski anything in the resorts I have been to. I don't have twin tips yet(next year for sure) but I can do 180, 360 and any grab pretty much. I only spent about 5-10% of my time on the slopes this year learning tricks etc.
Me like Hockey!

Me work five days a week sweeping garbage from the street. come home not want book to read. not nuf pictures for me see. sit right down in favorite chair, wearing only underwear, favorite night is saturday night, cause me can watch hockey fights.

Me not like pro basketball, cause me short and they all tall. baseball slow like forest gump, except when robbie spits on ump. wrestlemania not that great. Me like to see hulk hogan skate. TV soccer not that hot. u play that and u get shot.

sweedish players must be geeks, cause they still got own real teeth. not like finish players names, whats a teamu any way. russians worst in history, got stupid names like valerie. Me like sergi federov, me like him more if head were off, hahaha

freinds come over, put game on, argue then we lay bets down, got bag of chips and case of bud, should last untill end of first period. But yankees, they win the world cup, me think they cheat use glowing puck. maybe if we want to win er, then maybe we should play in winter!

My first year on twintips after using snowlerblades and I could do 180 through 900, switch 180 through 540, switch backs, underflips, mistys, flairs, rails, It was pretty easy for me to go from fruit boots to skis.

kevin, quit complaining about the darksides. twin tips are twin tips, you can't beat $220 for unused darksides!

I've been skiing for 11 years now but halfway through this season I started newschooling. I got down 3s with crossed and/or grabs (saftey, luikang, taipai, mute, and tail), Straight 5s and all types of rails (rainbow, 2x kinks, trapazoids, others). I can do my 3s and 5s in both directions too. Lately, ive been lincoln, and flips on tramps. I happy with my first years (well only 1/2 a season) progreesion! CAn't Wait till next winter!
