I hate it when kids fall on the button lift...They stop the machine for them and not for us...pfft

@KerrAtTheZoo really? they never stopped it for me and i was 8 when i went. i fell onto the track loads of times and got stuck there and ended up creating a pile up xD

The poma hurts man..... Don't release it in time, and it will drag your balls all the way to the top of the slope... and it does hurt SOMETIMES, if you put a lil too high at the start! :D

[TheSk8metal]

it doesn`t hurt...it`s just embarracing..

[Venaasflash]

agree they seems to be made for those whit skies (sorry english)

y cant u just hold the thing with your hands? would prob be much easier no?

[FlyBoyRez]

You do hold with your leading hand but trying to hold with your trailing hand is difficult as you are sliding sideways up the slope.

[thugdoutDUNN]

yea but like couldn't u just hold the thing u put in between your legs with both hands instead and not put it in between your legs at all?

[FlyBoyRez]

You could, but that is REALLY hard work and most people wouldn't get beyond 100m before having to let go. Also don't forget the video only shows a shallow slope. When the slope gets steeper I defy any normal human to hang on to a button lift with their hands alone, wearing snow gear, heavy boots and a board!

[thugdoutDUNN]

thats true, I didn't think about it like that, i guess it would be mad hard defying gravity on a steep slope when its a 10 or more min ride up just holding on with hands

Hahaha funny xD See how important it is to unstrap your back foot ;) The more often you take a buttonlift, the easier it gets =)

I know his pain... button lifts are evil
