One of my favorite tricks in SSX is the ability to pop off my skis and do all sorts of crazy stuff with them. Problem is, ski bindings are really tough to remove. You need a lot of force to do it. Let's say, though, you managed to get both your skis off while you're in mid air. Now, try putting them back on before hitting the ground. No, not going to happen. Snowboard bindings are even tougher to clip in. So all of you dreaming of flailing your skis around like bo-staves... keep dreaming.
