I never let go when I bail, and I’ve bailed a lot! The last time my ski got away from me it was ripped from my cold hard hands with the grips still in my hand. That same day I also ordered ODI’s! I’ll take a 15’ under rotated BF pancake any day over losing my ski and not knowing if it’s going to lawn dart me in the gut or the spine! Still not convinced? Just PM Matt Smith and ask him about his experience with an inverted- shove it- take it in the Liver throw away!

Hello, looks like a great way to spend the next weekend with the west systems epoxy repairing or you could go retro and turn your rn into a square nose. Letting go is a very last resort.

repairing what? my skis done plenty rider free landings and im sure the ones where im still attached hurt it way more. if your thinking the nose will get bashed, just think if it had 150lbs more inertia and a fingerfull of throttle.
for the real diggers i installed a carbon nose peice along with full reinforcement. i will break before the ski.

seriously the only times i got hurt was from last second panic bails. now i hang on if im past the apex of the air, regardless. off the side never off the back

Nothing huge there are many better examples

Here's a clean kung Fu dismount though.

the last time i fell off my 550 b4 i got the lanyard i was lucky to get the ski back. i made it a habit of holding on but that time the grip came off and it kept going. it actually managed to circle back to me though

I bail if I think I am gonna hit bottom hard (thats pretty often where I ride. It's shallow)

Madmat does the same thing...7 or 8 feet of air in 6 inches of water is just B A D.
