Anyone still think some old school tricks are awesome?

I still love the daffy, spreads, and the iron cross, especially if it is some old guy going huge over jumps and pulling 3 daffies

I think folks over 30 doing flips, mute, misty, lincoln, toxic... whatever newschool is DA BOMB! They are the spotlight, in my opinion.

I don't care what it is - as long as it has to do with skiing - oldschool, newschool, the guy you see almost every time out skiing wearing all blaze orange - it's all awesome. Just go out there and love doin it, doesn't matter if it's a lincoln loop 720 mute or a double daffy or a faceplant into the snow, it's all awesome if you try!

I know someone who can do a quad daffy. So for every person that says that double daffys and twister twister spreads are crap you probably have never done one.

coolest trick EVER!

Cats always land on their feet. Toast always lands buttered side down. I propose we strap pieces of toast to the backs of cats, buttered side up, and net them all together, the contraption, hovering inches above the surface, could link a monorail from Vancouver to New York.

I like doing basic 180's from time to time. I think that's good ol' old school. Don't like daffy nor spread eagle... because, seriously, it looks lame. Instead of a daffy, screamin seaman would do.

A 'daffy ballgrab' is a cute trick. ^^ Cross your leg like daffy and grab your balls and exaggerate. Hahaha...

180's arent really old school. i dont think anything that involves spinning is oldschool really.

Still don't know the difference between a cosack and a cherry picker, maybe it's just a regional thing but throwing your legs out and stabbing at the ground is a cherry picker in northern michigan

still no feeling greater

wow that's crazy that i've never heard of it being called that. i love the way terms differ by region. they call it a cosack in new york and utah.

my favorite was seeing dudes rip bumps and doing cosack, iron cross, cosack. wildest shit ever.
