What's one feature or trick that just scares the shit out of you? Anything from a down rail to chads gap. I am scared getting more than a foot out of a superpipe.
doubletakefilmerAny feature that forces me to slide right foot forward.
i second this! Opposite foot forward to get onto rails...nope nope nope
Just curious can you backflip? I think its hilarious I can slide both ways, rodeo, cork, misty, etc, but I cannot for the life of me backflip. I'm 23 now, I've tried a ton on tramps and into water over the years and I just stop once my feet get over my head. I lack the balls to look directly up I guess. So yeah,fucking backflips.
I can hit kinked handrails and curved rails just fine but I always hesitate and eat shit on butter boxes.. Its so backwards I just have stopped trying.

Weird that's like the opposite for me, I can rodeo misty bio on tramps but I cant backflip on tramps. I cam back flip on skis though but cant throw anything else but 3s

You're asking the best skier on the mountain if he can backflip?!
But on a serious note, yes i can. I actually got my first one out of the way this season today at 7 springs *CLAIM*
I can get on features right foot forward and I can switch up an feel comfortable sliding rails like it but ifi had to be forced to do that before sliding left foot first, fuck that! The only two inverts I can do are backflips and underflips. I just can't seem to get off axis...wish I could man and I wish you the best with your backflip adventures lol. Its all a matter of perspective and comfort in the air. Everybody's different with it for sure!
UilyJeffAny airtime more than a 4 count. 3 is gravy and 4 is pushing it. When I get to "4 one thousand" if I'm not landing, I'm arm flailing. I Hate it too!
Bruh, 4 seconds is about the same amount of time as this 255ft cliff drop. How fast are you counting?

Icy step down jumps. Nothing worse than overshooting to solid pavement.
Superpipes are also pretty terrifying. Every time I go big in the pipe I end up taking a beating. Mad props to the athletes who train on them every day and don't fuck their shit up.
This. Plastic ones are fine and good for learning stuff, but the metal ones pretty much just eat you. Either go slow and get caught in the ridges or go fast and risk having your ski vibrate off your boot. Those and really steep pole jams with no tranny into them are a no go for me.
Any up feature that is a ride on: pole jams, a lot of battleship rails. Basically the snowboard features. I tried a pole jam to butter box, caught my edge and landed in between the two. No thnx
