Can you spin?

[2knees]

you cant always judge a book by its cover on this subject.....


I cant spin.

 

[deadheadskier]

as in 360?

too chicken chit these days.

In my dreams I'd have a set up like woodcore and try and learn again.

 

[gmcunni]

i nailed a 180 today off the lip where the starting house used to be at the top of GB, does that count?

 

[Greg]

Nope. No plans to even try.

 

[andyaxa]

not intentionally

 

[Glenn]

I've got the 180 down....that's about it.

 

[hammer]

Not on skis...

not intentionally

Good one.

 

[jarrodski]

i promise you guys that its easier than you're making it out to be... "you're putting it on a pedistal"

seriously, its a confidence thing that can be learned on something as simple as a roller.

if you're at sundown, track me down and we'll happily show you. or wait till next year and i'll ski with you.

i fully would be more comfortable doing a 3 than the doubles you guys were throwing yesterday on gunny... thats nuts...

 

[deadheadskier]

Not that I throw anything much larger than half spread eagles and 2 O'Clock twisters these days, but I've always been a bit timid on 3s as the wrecks tend to be much harder. I cracked a rib back in the day and have been reluctant to try since.

 

[Geoff]

I can do a 45. Does that count?

 

[SkiDork]

IMHO a backflip is easier than a 3. Mind you, I can't do either. This is just an observation.

 

[drjeff]

Not on purpose

 

[Madroch]

Nope. Not enough nerve to even try. Even back in the day when air did not bother me, couldn't.

 

[Smellytele]

Not on my tele's.
I knew a few women that could but not on skis.

 

[bvibert]

No

yes, and no, i have not flipped...

one reason why 3's and flips are consisdered by a lot to be "easier" is that you're not staring at the landing the whole time... so the freak out factor goes way down.

 

[madriverjack]

Next time I'm there can you help me with the 360. I hit a 270 yesterday. You and the crew did a great job on the course and the bottom jumps are perfect. Thank you for all the hard work you guys did on Gunny.

ok, so if i can pull a daffy twist out of mothballs, would that be considered a higher score for a jump then a 3?
