those SLO's were the best , Patrice event pushed it to SL5B adding a Stepover on the last 180 , this looked pretty rad ... dunno why they decided to put a ban on 1 foot ski lines ... need to look if I have a video of Flip Stepover from when I had it put in the books !

Always enjoy watching some old time trick runs. Amazing they could run 10000+ with very few flips. Now some guys have 6 flips and cannot run 10000. Also enjoy the variations and not the same six flips. Cory, Nick, and Patrice--GREAT.
OK, Richelle needs to allow one footed stepover style SLO!
Cory has the most incredible mix of tricks. Flips, ski lines, pure spins and stepovers - all extremely difficult and impressive. His toes also mix blazing fast surface tricks, big wake tricks and huge toe steps. Wow!
He makes a good case for limiting flips as he showcases such trick diversity.
Patrice is incredible too. So smooth. I loved his toe fall - where he just bounced back up and kept going! Who needs a stinkin release!
I think in the beginning everybody was doing 1 foot off and then as they learned the tricks they started doing with two feet on the ski and the one foot off stuff just mostly became obsolete.
Awesome! First video...sweet 1987 Nautique. Also, much more impressive is the trick run by legendary Cory Pickos of 10,800 points. With only 1 flip! 30 years ago! Wow...
As I pulled up the web page today I was thinking that the forums have been a little slow and boring lately. This stuff is really cool! This coming from a guy who used to only slalom. Trick skiing is fun.
A few years ago Horton would not have allowed this trick skiing smut on his website. Now he is promoting it.
It is amazing how many tricks the high end trickers do in a pass. Particularly before they were doing flips. The hand passes of Corey & Patrice are amazing for the speed and smoothness of the tricks. The power in Nick's hand pass is crazy for the flips and ski line tricks.
@Horton Regarding why nobody does stepover foot off style ski lines, AWSA rule 11.12 L "In ski line tricks, both feet must be on the ski". Stupid rule change with no reasonable justification that I heard of at the time it was changed. It made some really cool and fun tricks illegal. WLBB double step (SLBB by the old rules) was such a flash trick - as were all the stepover style ski lines.
Back to Cory, one of the most amazing things I saw him do was at a Nationals in the ‘80s. Just before the start of Open tricks, I was walking with a guy who knew him pretty well and here comes Cory using his trick ski like a platter to hold this huge burrito he was munching on. He stopped to talk a minute, as he finished it, then said he’d better get going and a few minutes later won the event. A little different prep than I’d imagined...

Maybe that was the “secret” training! Chow down a monster burrito, make an awesome high scoring pass (so there wouldn’t be a runoff if tied) and make a dash to the Port O Let!

More work for Richelle in repealing this?
