the way i see it he's basically doing a 90 straight off but one leg is kinda dragging behind like a rollerblade grind almost, and then just a 180 off

ohhhhhhhh

so when he 90's of the first rail when he lands, his backmost ski is perpendicular to his other ski then syles it out when he 180's off the other box

super steezy...

90 off to caribou - Old school Gagnier, he did it at X-games a few years back.

it looked like he fucked up and caught an edge or something, but then when i watched it a few times, it looked like he turned his foot sideways

Here's Gagnier doing the same thing (54 sec):


You can see it better in that, but that's what he's doing, he "simply" turns his backfoot around when he lands the first time (so one foot is forward and one is switch) then when he's coming off the second time he turns his other foot around so he lands switch. Basically, Shea Flynn is a BEAST.

You just need to be super flexible - not too many people can do it, especially do it with the speed and fluidity that Charles and Shay do it.
