If you future spin, don't you have a 50/50 chance of landing if you stay on axis? Landing switch or normally, you are fine but, if you land on one of your sides you're dead.

So whats your excuse for not sending it for the boys then?

If it's too cold out side, I ski like an old man. I'm talking like -25F and under. The landings can be ungodly hard in Wisconsin and Minnesota... like glare ice, no give whatsoever.

I never liked the feeling of fast rotations. Far preferred to work on my style or doing it on a bigger jump.

Hucking insanity spins just doesn't seem fun to me.

These days definitely not.

I just used to focus on sending the style vs. the rotations.

What do you mean, dont you know that skiing is about spinning the fastest and winning the xgames. 2160 = olympics, steezy cork 3 safety = a life of failure and no fun

I don't really send after taking my daily dose of bath salts i find it challenging to ski after using bath salts It is very challenging and my mom if I ever try it it could increase my chances of getting a concussion.

I mean I spent loads of time in the early days trying to huck 7s and 9s on the shitty small jumps we had.

I really didn't like how it felt or looked. When I used to do a lot of tricks I way preferred slow, smooth and perfect rotations. I found that feeling far more rewarding and creative than Hucking crazy shit.

Truuuuu. I had a jeep the past two seasons that was a standard so I was the only one who could drive it and I was so nervous I'd hurt my left leg and then we'd be fucked hahaha.

I could full send for a year, die, and never ski again. Or I could half send for 50 years.

sadly that 50/50 chance of landing sideways on future spins happened to me every time as my squires would eject and id die but it was a pretty slushy day so it didn't hurt too bad
