the bluehouse are great for the price...less than 200 new...i've heard good things about the maestros..they'd be great for deep pow or crud.
@davidski...no grass skiing yet this summer, but it looks like app has the best cut grass so i may have to head over there soon.
-edit was done with the gopro and imovie.
advice on snowflex...take a trashbag to place your wet, snowflex covered pants and boots in or otherwise you will have tiny white plastic pieces everywhere.
thanks for the compliments guys.

anyone wanting to learn backflips, etc., needs to make the trip to Woodward at Copper, CO. At 44 years old, I learned not only backflips on skis, but double backflips and Rodeo 720's, there. Front flips are next. The jump at Woodward is almost identical to Lynchburg, only into a foam pit.

Jumping into a foam pit is one thing, not sure about trying them on land, I got mad respect for anyone who throws inverts on land. I definitely did not mean to sound like I was bragging about my abilities, I suck, I was bragging about how much fun these Snowflex facilities are.

Nice, John. You've just convinced me to stop by Copper on my way to Tahoe this season. I also found out there's a Woodward at Tahoe at Boreal, can't wait. Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks! btw were you instructed at all at Copper or just went for it to see what happens...any advice on landing in foam?
