kind of a random question, but I’m wondering if I’m the tallest known person to flip on skis. Im 17 and 6’8 and just chucked the first flats and rodeos of the season. Got me thinking, has anyone else my height ever flipped on skis??

True I feel that. I stopped playing when I got to high school but still get asked about basketball in my travels sometimes and I'm only 6'3".

Also last time I went to dunk in gym class I hung it up on the rim and knocked the wind out of myself. I'm good on that.

Watch out for basements and attics with low ceilings and stay tall!
