I'm just starting jumping Salchows again after a long time injured and I'm just starting Lutz jumps. Any tips on improving jumping confidence, any little tricks and techniques people have used would be much appreciated.

(i.e cheap accommodation, lessons and ski hires)Any good suggestions? Thanks a million!

Are they really necessary? What do they offer that a good pair of Sporty Sunglasses can't offer? Do most people use goggles for night skiing as well?

I'm a newbie snowboarder. I've been snowboarding for only a year, during which I didn't wear a helmet, cause I didn't have the money to buy one. However after 2 blows to the head I felt (literally) the importance of wearing one. However I'm kinda puzzled.
In my country the choice is kinda limited to Red, 661, and Arnette helmets. I'm kinda almost sure that I'll buy Red helmets, which feel more stable on my head and maybe they'll feel more comfortable on the slopes. But I need somebody who has some experience with Red's Trace or Shaun White's Trace, or some other helmet of 661 maybe. What's the main difference between the normal Trace and Shaun White's? Is it worth the few extra bucks? Have you proof tested some of the helmets on the slopes? :) Thanks in advance!

All the ones I've found online are rediculously ugly. Any suggestions or websites? The ones I'm looking for are competition dresses, not practice.

we're going skiing this winter and I'm wondering about using our bike helmets instead of having to buy specific skiing helmets. I don't really care about being areodynamic, my concern is safety rather than speed. do bike helmets protect your head in a different way than ski helmets should?
