Backskratchers are the schnitzel, thats why.
Iron crosses are lame.

My dad told me a story when he first started skiing in college in the 70's, he did a backscrather off a little booter and his tips went up under his jacket, so he landed on his knees and ate it, hahaha i could never see that happening but it did i guess

It could only happen if his jacket was unzipped, flapping freely in the wind... As was required in the 70s

ive been enjoying backscratchers all this season. instead of speed checking jumps with a straight air. throw in a gaper backscratcher. straight steezin.

i'm going to touch on a few things

mule kick+iron cross=face melting awesomeness

liu kangs=better than anything, goes without saying though

daffy+nose+tail=english muffin

lastly, i'm incredibly disappointed no one mentioned the dumpshoot/frogger.
