Was pretty drunk at the beach at A-basin this weekend talking to someone about a double Misty one of the schrab brothers threw. (may have called it a rodeo) Anyway, I said I'd put a link up. Here ya go....also, we were talking about the switch double back at the x-games....well, some guy stuck one before that! :fm: that's the second link.

switch double back

If I'm not mistaken, I think it was the same guy, at some comp earlier in the season than the X Games. Its nice to see parkrats doing something other than spins, especially when its as sick as that.Quote:

Tuukka was also killing some very tech urban rails few years ago. I guess he was ahead of his times on this stuff. You can see some of that here (free downloads):

(If I remember right the best rails were on Solid Powder II. Well, if anyone's interested in rails at all here...?)
Anyway, the guy's incredible and very versatile skier. I don't know what he's up to these days but he have done freestyle comps, filming, skier-x and lately also some big mountain/pow skiing. I'm pretty sure that if he lived in States he'd been sponsored by some big name company for many years already...
That always helps! Damn-you, younger-self for wanting to do ski ballet when I was 6!!Quote:

MIke Wilson does a double misty over the halfpipe in TBC.
Mike Wilson actually did a double cork over the bird pipe in TBC. And that video up above of the double switch back is from about 3 or 4 years ago i think. It's pretty sick. And i'm pretty sure that video of Shrab doing the double misty on the windlip is from about 3 or 4 years ago as well.
Still god damn ridiculous, I can't even figure the mechanics out in my head.Quote:

Crap. He stuck that switch double pretty damn clean.
BTW, I already posted that double misty, JONG!!:fm:
Blurred, that was me Mike you were talking to, thanks for posting those links. Saw that double back a couple of months ago, but still so sick. I didn't realize that he pulled that like five or six years ago. I brought the slayers up on Sunday for you to try out, but didn't see you. I will be up there tomorrow, and probably the next couple of weekends. If you want to give'em a go let me know.Quote:
