1 on to a bench, don't rotate land switch. Kind of interesting. Harder than 2 on in my opinion.

My friend and I were dicking around with pole tricks today. Exhanged poles off of a kicker. Flipped a pole around and caught it on a rail. The best one is when I attached two poles, hit a rail, threw the poles straight up and he caught them right behind me on the rail. Haha. So much fun. And aluminum poles bounce nice.

just takes time man. once you get that pop perfect and you don't advertise your spin with your shoulder too much before popping or anything you should be really balanced. pop, look right, grab. should be realll floaty if you want to get a grab with rightside though. I naturally grab right, so it makes it a little easier.

yeah, its sort of a combination of a shifty and reach, and its outside edge of opposite ski tail. the best ones are the ones right near the heelpiece, to about midway up the tail. here's a pic of one in a 180 (shameless self promotion)

not great quality since its a screenshot, but it gives you an idea i guess. I do them a lot.
