OTB, the only way to go

[2knees]

so i had a full on double eject, over the bars, crash the other day. I flew about 5 or 6 yards down the trail before my back landed on the snow. Its probably the 3rd or 4th time in the last few years i've had one of these and i gotta say, its the strangest mix of terror and pleasure while you're flipping over waiting for the inevitable touchdown.

if you're gonna wipeout, i say you might as well go down in flames.....

I prefer the catch an edge cartwheel myself. Look to the side of you while you're upside down and see your skis tumbling along with you, now that's a special feeling. Especially under a lift.

My favorite is when I catch an edge and both skis go in opposite directions, causing me to slam down on my face...

Did one of those on the 3rd at Cannon.

La Face Plante Grande - usually achieved by skiing soft snow like hardpack. Weight the tips and eject!

I like to call the maneuver I executed flawlessly at Bolton Valley last month "Face Shot, The Hard Way." Charging on a little bit of untracked fresh + somewhat flat light + not quite the optimum location for the water bar crossing and, VOILA!, my skis literally stopped in their tracks while my body became a 6', 230-lb low-altitude projectile. Happened right under the Vista chair, though it was so frickin' cold that morning only a couple people bore witness. I have video of the aftermath but haven't gotten around to doing something fun with it yet.

Face plants in pow I do not mind, though. Which is good, considering how often I practice them.

OTB to a Patroller = Over The Bank.

Now that adds a whole new perspective. Nothing like a good double clicker carnage into the trees or snowmaking pipes... Course it can get pretty messy to say the least !

The double twist, kiss your butt goodbye is one of my favorite falls!!!!
