I may or may not have contributed to the terminology section ; ) It's been like that forever. Every time I go on that section I have to re-add Rory Bushfield to the notable skiers section too.

I do agree someone with at least some university-level writing experience needs to redo the whole thing though. Summer project?

"...originated in the mid-19th century in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878."

Overshoot
When a skier takes too much speed into a jump and landing on the off ramp. Usually results in an injury but is worth more points in competition and is thus widely practiced.

Moon
As made popular by Wallace & Gromit. It is possible to shred on the moon, very similiar to terrain in Alaska although slopes are mainly comprised of cheese. Local riders include the Moomin Crew

Because of this, ski clothing has gotten longer and longer. Therefore, brands such as Jibberish have thrived. Their main customer is kangbang, with several other "Newshoolers" members. These members also enjoy W-3-3-D.

first off its "jiberish"
and i only own 3 pieces

Currently armada is the sole patent holder for elf shoe technology and actively prevents others from using it. It is rumoured that during the holiday season, Armada may be in a more giving mood, and offer this technology to other companies. i lol'd

Gaper
The name which is given to the best skiers in Newschool skiing. Having mastered triple corks are an absolute necessary to reach this level of skiing.

Bobby you are such a gaper

The Elf shoe is a radical new change to regular skis, and is widely accepted to be single largest change in ski design since the first ski was created. The elf shoe of the ski gives it many magical properties and is believed to be a precursor to an even more advanced "reindeer hoof technology" which is speculated to give the ski flying abilities. Currently armada is the sole patent holder for elf shoe technology and actively prevents others from using it. It is rumoured that during the holiday season, Armada may be in a more giving mood, and offer this technology to other companies.
