That was cool. It was way more interesting when he wasn't in the trees because the guy with the helmet cam had to pay more attention to what he was doing than the rider in front of him.

Do you have an "indo board"? I am getting one for x-mas I think. I have had a home-made version for a while. I think they really help with flexibility, and feeling comfortable in your crouch. They really helped me with my rail-grab positioning for skimming. I used to struggle with balance when I grabbed the rail on a turn, but after a couple months on my home made unit it came way more naturally.

I've noticed that all the best riders in every board sport are super-flexible, almost gumby-like and can balance in almost any position.
