    Talking I used to be Gay.....

    I don't dare do it any more, but back in the day I've been published 3 times doing Tindy's. Check out the spread, probably TWS's only double page Tindy spread.


    Once the Smith team captian said, "if you get published doing one more Tindy, you're off the Team!"

    I am a daffy man. If squirrel did it in Hot Dog, I have done it on the hill at least once.

    Just another friendly reminder: grabbing tindy is still sloppy and gay.

    I don't know what inspired me. I just woke up this morning and felt people had to be reminded once in a while.

    Funny bump.

    The real question is, what do people think of the nethod?

    It seems to be all the rage these days, 90's methods must be dated or something.

    I've seen classic Jamie Lynn methods. Love his upper body rotation. I do mine more old school style, bent elbow with hand over my head kinda. Wish I could say it was like Craig Kelly's but I will never put myself in the same sentence as that guy, not even worth thinking about comparison.

    The nethod is halfway between the nose and the bindings.

    From what I understand, a proper method is grabbing between the bindings.
    I see a lot of people, like T. Rice, grab just in front of the binding, which is kind of a more subtle nethod.

    The thing about the nethod is that it's way easier to tweak out your rear leg and pull in your front knee for that real vicious looking air.

    I haven't seen T. Rice's version but that sounds like what used to be called a "grasser". Chris Roach and Noah Salaz used to always do em. Anyone remember?

    Ah yes, I recall that term now.

    Well, to rephrase ... a lot of people are pulling "grassers" (and the lesser known term "nethods") and everyone thinks they're methods.
    I guess the short consensus is that, unlike a tindy, grassers are not sloppy and gay

    you might have a point there

    but methods beat lein airs 5 to 1 in a blind taste test

    just ask Mr. Steven S. Dallas.

    nah, you don't pull the board behind you in a lein air, just kind of lean toward the front I think.

    Mark Landvik is sick.

    I love Terje's huge methods in the pipe in the movies I've seen (I'm a skier, pretty sure he's doing methods though, really tweaked out).

    Isn't a Lien air strictly a frontside method; a method generally being backside and Lien being Neil spelled backwards since a kind of backwards trick?

    The ONLY trick that is "cool" anymore is the double nose grab. Geesh, where were you guys when the memo got passed around?

    Bonus points for crossed arms.

    I believe that the Roast Beef and Canadian Bacon were passed in that memo as well.
