Holy shit, frontflips AND backflips? Why are asking us? You must be spancerized, just get some skis from your sponsors, they'll hook you up

actually the line elizabeth would be good. it looks like a powder ski because of its waist measure, but if you go to www.lineskis.com and read up about it, it's actually a park specific ski that can go outside the park. so i'd go with that buddy

Oh yeah dude. If you can do backflips, you're pretty close to the top pros. Just send a tape of yourself to the guys at jiberish. You'll be in the next edit for sure

he's bullshitting you; you suck at skiing, no offense. Getting sponsored should be less than 1 percent of your total outlook on skiing at this point.

This. Just plan on skiing for fun unless you only take like 3 days off a month and are willing to kill yourself to accomplish the next big thing.
