The biggest trick ever done by a female is a quadruple twisting triple back flip! One twist on the first flip, 2 twists on the second, and one on the third!

Luckily we land on a pretty steep slope so the crashes we take happen pretty quit. So it can be a pretty hard landing to your face or your back and you might tumble a bit but then its all over. Landing on your face is like getting hit with a fat snow man, landing on your back feels like someone took a two by four to your head. And all crashes leave you with snow all over you! That's why we zip our jackets in to our pants. So we don't get snow up our backs!

Take off my helmet and show them my Khaleesi wig, ski off the jump onto my dragon and become their new queen.

Hm great question! A couple months ago I taught a guy from Men's Health how to do a double backflip in one week! You can check out the article on their website. But maybe a double twisting double back flip?

Its funny, about half of the aerialists in the world come from skiing and learn to flip and the other half come from gymnastics or trampoline and put skis on their feet. Its comical sometimes to watch as people figure out the difference of flipping with skis on or watching skiers figure out how to tumble and trampoline. Trampoline is a big part of our training, we do a lot of core and strength training like gymnasts as well.
