haha yes Chucky…I reckon that would feel amazing to be able to do that!

You don’t even have to get that low for it to be heaps of fun. all you need is a long, stiff, narrow, cambered board and a forward facing stance. Last season I was regularly doing early morning runs on Thredbo’s Supertrail corduroy for a few runs on my super stiff 164cm Ride No.4 with a narrower than usual +27 front +18 rear stance. I can’t get anywhere near that low, but it’s still a hoot.

Really it looked like it was bashing the shite outta their sides!

No thanks

It’s only their clothing, not “their sides” touching the snow.

Yeah! I got first chair three days in a row, but had to stop at the bottom and unstrap after my first run every time because I was in so much pain. Worth it.
