Hoping to bring a friend along to take some of the bad boys I picked but he’s got IBS. Anyone have any ideas since we’ll be a bit far out in nature and his main concern is diarrhea and vomming? Imodium is my first thought and maybe some pepto bismol but I’m not sure as I don’t have these issues.

1. Make sure you’re up a mountain, preferably one that took a lot of effort to get to
2. Look around, make sure there are tonnes of people around you because the more people there are watching you pick, the more likely you’ll see loads.
3. Be in an embarrassing situation like whilst you’re peeing and with your butt out as they tend to love showing themselves then
4. Look in the clump of fakers as you’ll see one that looks like a liberty cap - they like to make you question your judgement

In general the more embarrassing, most dangerous and most high up the place is, the more liberty caps you’ll find

Does anyone know the ISU rules on whether or not you can spin and jump opposite directions - e.g counterclockwise spinner jumping clockwise.

Or is there any federations where this is banned?

Bit of a rant bit of a desperately need help situation.

I’ve been to two skate techs in my country and have so far gone through Graf 500s, edea overtures, Jackson freestyles and now I’m on to risport rf3’s. This has all been in the period of 6 months.

Firstly the grafs - too large and too flimsy for things I was doing in them and the blade was not it. I was trying to get more support from them by tying them tighter and my toes would constantly go numb.

Edea overtures - wayyy too small in width. This is when I went to my first skate tech. I ended up having the toe box widened twice and after all of that it still wasn’t working. I began to notice not being able to access outside edge easily and it was just a bit of a nightmare. I loved the rest of the boot but the width was a problem.

Then the freestyles - got fitted by a different skate tech as I thought surely if the last got it this wrong then I shouldn’t go back to them. Too large once again. My heel was slipping this way and that and the toe box was too long and I was stuffing it with padding. Admittedly I went for the size the larger foot was more aligned with which made it impossible for me to access my outside edge on the other smaller foot and I lost my jumping ability.

Now on to rf3’s - fit seems a lot better around the foot itself. But the ankle! I have now inflamed ankle bursitis from wearing them last week and I’m on rest for a while. I hand punched them with a hairdryer and a spoon out of desperation for an upcoming competition at the weekend but because I’m already inflamed on the ankle it ended up not helping too much.

Now please tell me there’s a way I can make this last boot work for me as I’m seriously out of options at this point. Or does this get better?
