roddy116was skiing at highland and went to patrol for the first time because i scorpioned and ragdolled down the big jump landing. Im sorry but that kind of person would turn on a snow on a holiday on the landing of a jump? like what the actual fuck.
Crispy.You grammar is confusing me, but I think I get what you're saying. That sucks man, midwest gapers are the worst of them all.
APunx176Learned how to land switch out of rails today. I guess this is the first rail trick I've ever learned (if it even counts as a trick)
In case anyone was unaware or if anyone cares, Coffee Mill wont be opening at all this year
RDemDamn that's too bad! I've always loved Coffee Mill. What's the reasoning for not opening? Not enough snow?
DFJLanded backseat off the Tyrol Basin Green Zone "cliff" and smashed my hand on a tree. Broke my thumb and might have to get surgery :(
john18061806I feel you on that one, sent a cliff at Giants Ridge last year with not enough snow and sprained my thumb real bad. Heal up quick!
DFJI think for cliffs do you just have to pop hard and try to land with your weight forward? I think it just messed me up since the takeoff was sloped down kinda
Bennett.Learned nosebutter 270s on the other night and for some reason I tried it one footed and it worked. Has this ever been done before?

APunx176I wanted to film it because it was actually pretty awesome, honestly, but my gopro wouldn't turn on after half of a run. Does anyone else have this problem? My friend has one too and it does the same thing. I bought this thing because I figured a product like this wouldn't be this popular if it wasn't reliable but I was clearly wrong. This is the 3rd time this has happened and I've only tried to use it 6 times. Any input?
john18061806It could be the cold temperatures. It really messes with the battery life on just about all cameras. If you've been having this problem on days where it's under 5-10 degrees you've got nothing to worry about. You can temporarily fix it by taking the battery out and putting it on the warmest part of you groin for two minutes, just take one for the team.
APunx176really cold frozen balls
APunx176Currently at Lutsen. I'm happy to say that there was about a foot of powder out there yesterday
john18061806Lutsen's tree runs are so sick! Hoping to make it up there on a serious dump day if we ever get one. Meanwhile I found some burly lines at spirit, including a 20ft into a 10ft. Sent a little pillow thingy from the side into the 10 footer, felt great.
APunx176Yeah the amount of random amazing off-trail spots in the 2nd and 3rd day was insane
cp1994pretty stoked to hit a rail backwards even if it was a tiny flat bar!
john18061806Hell yeah! Hitting rails switch feels great! Spirit's down flat was sticking hard but I put a lil wax on her then claimed a trick I'd never done before for my first hit and got it! 2 on front swap pretz 4 for the curious ones.
Hit some out of bounds pillow lines after and ski patrol threatened to clip my pass, he's just jealous that I got a hold of some freshies. Later I battled right 2 pretz 4 for 40 minutes hiking past close (didn't get it because I suck), left when they shut the lights off. It was a wild day!
APunx176How are you not spansered yet

john18061806I'm don't try hard enough. But that's another story. Hit Spirit tonight expecting the big jumps to be pure garbage as they were on the test weekend. To my pleasant surprise they are the best I've ever seen them and the biggest I've ever seen them. They're all 40ft tables (except the last but it'll probably change) and they have a wicked amount of hangtime. I peed myself spinning them for the first time. But yeah... they're the biggest jumps I've seen at spirit, and I couldn't be happier! Jump jocks in Colorado would be jealous.
McShaneI think the 2nd one is a little smaller then the first, but one or two carves in between jumps never hurt anyone. So far, pretty stoked on 'em!
APunx176Mt. Lacrosse put an AMAZING rail out a couple of days ago.
KENDOZERI actually got "air" out of a "quarter pipe". Claim
john18061806This thread is a claim machine amigo. While we're on claims- I was riding Giants Ridge and did a switch 3 off their 10ft money booter and some lil kids ask me to do a 7. I've never done a 7 in a park and I hardly have switch 5s. I ignored these two facts and attempted switch 7 for the children. Sorta kinda got it first try but no questions asked on the second, extremely happy.
KENDOZERSwitch 7 is definitely an awesome one, I think it's easier on the body than normal 7.

el_mn_opBuilt a little lip off a wall near mill city last night with some friends, then sent it deep into the powww #kowabunga
john18061806pretty awful conditions
KENDOZERI landed my first separated shoulder last Saturday at troll. Pretty stoked, it felt so great to finally land it
lel, for real though, I stress to everyone to keep your hands at your sides at all times after that one.
