I really wanta throw a misty this year but they seem very sketchy. and mt sunapee has an airbag but the jump is basically designed for backwards sent tricks so it is insanly hard to do mistys into. so i was just wondering what it was like when throwing a misty on skis. Hard, Easy? Any tips?

I hate it when my jumps are designed for backwards tricks

I know what he means, at my midwest hill whenever the airbag comes through, they build this ridiculous kicker that basically shoots you straight up

There not that hard, you just have to focus on extending against the kick of the jump and it'll be really easy, if you just roll off the lip of the jump your going to have a bad time.

I learned how to do them at camp this summer, just get a small jump and do it when its soft and you won't get hurt... I was doing them on a 15 footer and it was perfect because you got enough air, but it was still really low consequence. Just remember how you set them on a tramp and don't forget to pop and you'll get them easily.

Do them like 500 times into water off a cliff and you'll have no problem. They're the easiest not-on-axis trick IMO
