Lake Placid Water Ramps

[mondeo]

Whistler in 18 days...going for a Lincoln Loop.

Might do a session at Placid later in the summer as a refresher, assuming I actually do it on snow at some point at camp.

Lincoln - wow! Have you ever done it?

As SkiDork probably knows, if there's any supervised coaching involved, they don't want you doing anything too fancy on snow without serious amounts of tramp/ramp practice. Of course liability may not be as much of a factor in Canada :razz:.

Nice video Dork. Thanks

And seeing as how they have tramps and ramps at Whistler, I'm hoping to get "qualified" by the end of the week (not as serious as full USSA qualification, I don't think. They just need to be comfortable.) From what I've heard, the loop is the easiest rotation to do, the motion is as easy as a backflip but you never lose vision. Both are easier than a heli.

wow I didn't realize the had ramps at Whistler. The K teams are there right now.

SkiDork- Do you remember how many clean back flips they wanted into the pool before they would allow attempts on snow? I can't recall the number, but it seemed a bit over the top.

Mondeo - Have fun out there. If you haven't hit them before, the water ramps are a blast. The opportunity to hit the ramps and go right to the snow sounds pretty cool.

they want 100.
