Except Delorme's forward Backflip to Fakie in "Right Back Were We Started"...

They're all sick, no question.

I dunno if i would have called that a "nollie" he definitely made it to the lip of the jump in the middle of his skis, he did somewhat of a nollie but it was more a of a tip drop, like 90% of all "nollies" are. It looks really, really sick, but i wouldn't consider it a "nollie".

well it might not be a true nollie but you try that off a jump and see what happens. either way, its a very difficult way to set a spin;.

That was a pretty sick shot, but if anything, Bellemare's part in that edit literally made me jizz.

No joke.

I've said this way too many times on this site, but Delorme is the most underrated dude in skiing. All I see so many threads about hornbeck, wallisch, etc, but Delorme is truly the kind of style no questions asked

delorme. is. not. underrated.

just because you are good, doesn't mean you're underrated.

please wrap this extremely difficult concept around your head.

if everybody agrees that he is under rated he can't be under rated because from all the threads you can tell how high everyone rates him.
