Is this a retarded question? (about aerialists)

would a good aerialist be able to do a good looking straight air as big as they do their hard tricks (same jump)?

those jumps basically force you to backflip, i imagine a straight air would be very sketchy, if even possible.

Haha that would be nuts, but seriously they should start doing like switch front flips that would be tight

basically those jumps seem like they have just a little les vert than pipe walls,I cant imagine how hard it is to push your momentum forward so you do end of landing 5 feet away from the jump

I saw a kid do a branny off of a triple aerials jump in park city. Kid took it straight to his back and coughed up blood.

I heard Park City legend Travis Perkins did forward and switch rodeo 7's off of the UOP double kicker on snow...

and one of them had a screamer in it

Normally I would say "pics or it didn't happen" but, Travis Perkins is a god among men. And anyone who knows T Perk knows this is true.

A straight air would be tough, but it would be possible. I've seen someone 180 mongo at Placid before, and that was pretty nuts.

i dont think this is true, but at lake beauport (where the d-structure camp is), i heard a crazy rumour.

alot of people were saying that  Tanner Hall, did the triple kicker sw, and did a sw backflip!
i heard there was a video? if this is true, thats nutz, i wanna see it
