Rodeo Steve Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I personally think that inverts should be allowed at Blue.. Or at least in the competitions. It would generally make them more interesting. Injuries may happen more but it would not be a drastic amount.. In most cases the only people that will throw them who are people that can actually do them. Maybe you will have to take a test or watch a video or sign a release form or w/e. I still think that some way or another they should be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were throwing inverted tricks down on Sunday during the pond skimming, and ski patrol was right there....I found it rather interesting. As for inverted tricks, if you want to do them, you can as is, but those fence sitters are less likely to try it, which is a good thing. All we need is a hack trying to do a backflip.

toast21602 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 the reason you cant do them is because of insurance. or at least that is what i ahve been told. and yeah kids were throwing them sunday infront of ski patrol... and they tried to write the one kid up for doing it any everybody got pissed so he put his little tablet away.

You do it at your own risk i guess, whether it's against the rules or not. I was up at Gore this weekend, and instead of a sign saying no inverts it said, "inverts NOT RECOMMENDED" Yeah, there's an idea i had some guy in a giro bad lt. helmet, maybe mid 40's come up to me and say "hey, that was a nice inverted rodeo thing you did" i felt special.

kragan Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 haha yea right, CB says no inverts allowed, or something like that no inverted ariels inverted manuvers prohibited you will be cited for inverts hmm, guess it was out west that I saw it then ... Think that there is a law, or something to that affect, for the state of PA against inverted aerials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodeo Steve Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yea the pond skimming they couldnt do anything.. I threw a rodeo 5 in the pond skimming. Only boarder to go inverted but anyway. Yeah I know the whole insurance thing.. Ive got my pass punched, taken away.. but I keep doing em cause there sick. But I mean if they could up their insurance or something.. Bear Creek lets them go.. So why cant Blue? It says right on the lift ticket your at your own risk so you should be able to do them at your own risk. I dont care though, Ill still do them but it would be reasurring if I had permission too. Most of the patrol know I can so they let me but some are dicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method9455 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 i've pulled them by accident and they're scary as shit, when i go inverted i panic and fall straight down on my head. I usually end up landing on my shoulder blades like a pile driver becuase i duck my head in as a reflex. It really sucks. THat being said, I'm alwasy impressed by people doing them. I remember one kid trying to leanr them and he was trying over and over and not landing them and he finally landed one i had to go and give him some props cuz he landed hard so many times in a row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHarrisburg Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 i've pulled them by accident and they're scary as shit, I spun an underflip 10 the other day. Halfway through I thought I was done for, but then my body unwound and finished the flip/rotation. Scary at the time, but now I want to do them on purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan- Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I guess it is. I remember hearing his name is Steve.
