Ski Roll

[GIL]

Barrell roll the ski-but not U! Go into a normal barrell roll and instead of hanging on-throw the ski into roll and w/it's right side up, hop back in tray and ride off.


Learning curve sucks

and still sucks! Aint got it down yet.

get some pics and vids, sounds like ski to human contact may happen a lot.

1st attempt was my face in right side of my new diablo hood(no helmet)

2nd attempt was my foot stuck in intake grate while ski was still rotating and I wasn't!

3rd-I threw my helmet bout 100' and cussed alot!

imagine a body buriel by Chuck Caruthers in freestyle MX-just the ski rotates instead of yer body.

I would recc wearing about 30 wetsuits at 1 time before attempting-and 2 helmets(1 for each head)LOL

It would be cool if the pole stuck on the hood to kick the top of the rail and have it spin under but it would be hard to grab the bars to close to the hood and if the pole was out it would barely rotate. I think the ski doing the backflip and landing in the tray seems more practical.

so its pretty much like doing a kickflip with a 300lbs skateboard?

why not try having your body spin and the ski stay straight like how they do it on dirtbikes. But with the ski pointing more vertical like how when you do a tailstand and spin around but in the air. It seems to me that would be a little easier/safer except it might be hard to get you body to spin with out the ski spining. also just out of curiosity what is the pole doing during this trick?

just my .02

RAB2009 i mentioned this about a month ago.... i want to try it after watching xgames best trick... its not really done.. i wonder who will do it first

 

[brett]

[Zeon]

yeah i brought this up a while ago right after the x games took place.. once my ski is done and pole is tight as **** i will attempt

 

[brett]

this wouldnt be a body varial though.itwould be a regular varial. i bet somone could pull a body varial petty quickly if they tried

Question- i wana try the roll ( with me, not just the ski ) ...i'm on a sxr ....i have read the tips, just had one question ....where are my feet the whole time? in the footholds or in the tray with one in the front and one in the back? i'll be rolling to my right...i read everyone going to the left...i'm a righty and it just feels better ....

I can't watch Boob Tube at work so I am posting to remind myself to watch it tonight.

Gil, every time ever since that day you saw me puss out on that roll, your trick is all I have been doing. Ski makes it around fine, I am just not on it... lol I better quit because I am goign to rip out motor mounts if not...

Yeah That Morgan Wade guy and kick @ss on a BMX bike. He totally got ripped off at the 2007 X Games!
