It took me 7 bails, 2 Faceplants, 3overrotations and 1 360 to do it. When i landed it I was like "Oshitt Call PBP!" It was fuckin awesome, True. Evolving is fun and i allways wanted to do that trick. Now im going to try backflip or somthin like that!

dope, congrats man! im really having trouble on the grabs. whats the size of the jump u hit?

this is what im aiming for, since i think 5's are easier than 3's.

i just cant find my fucking tail, and i cant look at it. Uhh, huge stress.

maybe your problem is your skis arent center mounted, if they ar mounted back, tailgrab is much harder.

I would, but there's no snow in the east. (Not counting the 1/2 dusting we got this morning). Once i feel really comfy on the 180s, ill start trying to throw 3s.

im so scared of trying 3s in bigger jumps. its really frustrating because i know its really easy, and id probably land it one of my first tries, but im still terrified of hitting jumps in the first place, not to mention spinning over them. gggggrrrrr time to nut up and shut up

try exhaling all of the air in your lungs as you come off the lip..it makes it way easier to bring my legs and arms to where they need to be for whatever grab im doing, at least for me

sick man! but if you've never flipped before, try a lincoln loop. i find its a good flip to learn, because you can see everything, though the whole trick. and landing on your side is preferable to landing on your back/stomach
