in this thread you can ask questions you have about skiing that aren't big enough to make a thread about. ill start with: how long does it take for a windells edit to come out once the session ends?

or will next years saga be insulated, or just a shell?

i just watched the stept movie after not watching ski movies for a long time and there were two ollies in the whole movie

how come no one ollies anymore and why is it acceptable to make big kickers onto rails now

because the rails that they were hitting are like 5 ft high flat rails. have you ever seen somebody ollie onto those? they still dont really make much of a jump for down rails over stairs. they are just getting so big that you need more than an ollie to get up

they make huge kickers onto the downrails through the whole movie, i dont care about flatbars but i feel like you should have to actually ollie to get onto a rail for some reason.


like john strenio's 450 on in the new poorboyz movie. he doesnt ollie and hes completely erect for the whole spin. on a real setup (kicker no taller than one stair) he would have just slammed into the side of the rail. i feel like if you cant ollie into a trick then you cant do it on urban, and making a kicker instead is kinda cheating.

when pros go out to a lodge with the big film crew and everything like Hoji and Abma in latest MSP movie, do they have a first aid crew (or person) with them just in case something goes pretty wrong? I would imagine if there was an emergency it would be a while for the heli to get there and they're going so huge and hard if something did go wrong it would suck. so yea, along with film crew and guides etc do they have first aid person(s)?

They don't usually have a dedicated first aid guy. The guides normally have some wilderness first aid training and obviously cpr. Park shoots will often have ski patrol on standby.

Spin natural.
For example you spin left and usually slide right foot forward.
When throwing a 270 on you approach the Rail from the right side as usual (or left side if you slide left foot forward) and pop of. First :Get your Tips over the rail (very important) and spin 270° .
Then slide the rest of the rail with your "unnatural" foot facing down the rail.
This unnatural stance wont affect you much if you choose a relatively short rail.(What i suggest you when you want to learn 270 on)
You are already traveling down the rail while you are in the air so you wont have to slide the whole rail in unnatural position.
I hope you get my point. I am European and im pretty tired so please disregard grammar or spelling mistakes. Thank you!

A positive side-effects of that method is that you get used to sliding down a rail with your unnatural foot facing down the rail

Or, do you mean like kinda walking onto the rail, and then popping and doing a 270 so that you keep on railing sideways for the rest of the down part?

If so, i have no clue.

plus massive amounts of karma to whoever can find me the thread in which everybody was ranting about that one girl in their past that fucked them over

OP started it off with a pretty long story of how some girl completely dumped him

it's a pretty recent thread i believe

What's the maximum number of times youre able to mount skis with different bindings before they're shot? A local shop tech said infinite, but I find that a little questionable.
