I haven't ever been in a comp...but do Zero Spins score well?? it seems like they would cuz they are super technical. If you don't know what it is...don't bother replying...newbies. thanks

it depends on who's judging..if other newschoolers are judging it, then hell yea... but if it's being judged by a buntch of people never on skis before or even boarders..then they might just see it as a straight air thats backwards...

i like skiing more with a style, my fav skier is eric pollard cause of his style. when he spins like his body stays in the same position in the whole rotation, and he comes up with som pretty creative stuff, like the zero spin.i like it when i does big 180's too. peace

a zero is one of those tricks that if it looks good it's sick but if it looks shitty than you're better off doing a daffy...

Why not call it switch straight air instead of zero-spin? A plain straight air is also a zero-spin afterall.

Zeros are so hard to do well, and I find they dont do well in comps at all, because they look so simple. I think they are about the same difficulty as a cork 7 or mayeb a little easier than a 900.

yeah, i've done them before in a comp, but we only have snowboard judges so the don't score them high. i did a switch zero tailgrab at an SOS event and they didn't like it at all.

you know that shit?

chances are you'll get higher score with a fakie 3, becusae the judges see rotation, switch take off, switch landing, so they imediately think it's harder

zeros off big tables are really hard. they are pretty hard off small jumps too. they would do good if you put in a grab i bet.

if you dont have a grab it is no good at all

i have done them and i like them best with a simple grab like a safety,japan critical
if you go for mutes or crosses they look no good

Zero spin is not the same as a straight air. A zero spin has a switch take off and a switch landing and usually you do not look at the ground or landing. Alot harder than it sounds.

in the pipe they look really sweet. eric pollard made them look good with a mute, but its better done with a saftey, or if u can do it without eating it, a tail.

pollard qualified for the xgames last year at the squaw qualifier with a zero spin.... but in low level comps ussually the judges wont recognize the difficulty.

zero spins are deffinately very difficult, but i wouldn't go as far as saying they are as difficult or more than a cork 9

i wouldnt reall agree w/ the whole 'bigger comp' thing. at the X-games, the announcers were shitheads and didnt know anything outside of skiing. the faulkers were like 'Yeah, well pollards gonna have to do a lot more spinning next run.' the sad truth is that the general public just doesnt get the whole concept of style

hahaha... SOOOOO OLD! ANd I hate zero spins in comps. They're essentially just a switch straight air, and if you have a brain they can be done easily.
