Not really a huge deal, but Its kind of cool to see how the public sees skiing before the olympics.

idk, i was actually pleasantly surprised cause i expected far worse. sometimes the comments on sports vids etc are hilariously off the mark


there was plenty of misinformation/gaperness but there were at least a few people who rightly corrected other people re: trick names, the gif itself and why it looks like he's gliding.. one dude prob wasnt a skier but did a decent job of explaining in physics terms the logistics of the backie and his head movement etc

its kinda funny how many people are ready to accept the fact that a human can "glide" through the air. i love reddit, /r/skiing is a strange place.

Such a different community from newschoolers. Most of them aren't "Freeskiers."

but they are supportive of each other, which is cool. someone will post a pic that would get eviscerated on NS and they all give props for having fun. the amount of boot/gear advice threads is brutal though

Most of them are hive mind idiots with a sense of self importance that is far from deserved. fuck reddit.

"He stops rotating (because he extends his legs) and there's a bit of an optical illusion because the big mountain way behind him doesn't seem to be moving upward and the little slope that he lands on comes into the picture almost unnoticeably.

I think if we saw it from a different view, where you could see the landing area coming up quickly, it wouldn't look like gliding."




Kids are putting way to much thought into a backflip...
