They are quite useful if needing to do sideslip tails 1st.

It's also fun to leave a rooster tail :twisted:

Well I presume if I want to learn park which would involve trying to land some jumps switch, skiing backwards may come in handy!!

You did answer my question well though....thanks for the input!!

More landing backwards I think, but they're reckoned to help release turns a bit more on steep ground in tight spots
