Freestyle skiing is an acrobatic form of skiing that began in the 1930s but first became serious in the 1960s, though some objected to its danger. It involves various tricks like backflips, spins, and grabs performed on skis. Freestyle skiers train during the summer on water ramps and with gymnastics to practice tricks safely before winter. Even with safety equipment, crashes are inevitable as freestyle skiing remains a dangerous sport.
