Tomahawk 1440

A dramatic action on skis or a snowboard in which the rider crashes and turns end-over-end four consecutive times for a 1440 degree spin. This gives them the appearence of a spinning Tomahawk, hence the name.

Featured in Warren Miller's "Playground", a ski-enthusiast movie.

Skier: "Oh man, look at that guy swerving."

Snowboarder: "Yup, he's going down."

Skier: "Wait for it...wait for it...OH! Down he goes!"

Snowboarder: "One, two, three..."

Skier: "Hell yeah! That's four turns!"

Snowboarder: "Tomahawk 1440, bitches!"

Skier: "He's gonna be feeling that for a good week!"

1440

you began a crusade for me
to fill every minute with love
and a day holds so many
each one unbearably slow
as I wait for them to pass

someday, and I pray it is near
when love lives in every minute
all the minutes will be ours
and we will be bound forever

then I will crave the seconds
of every beat of your heart
of every word vibrating between us
of every touch that makes us shiver
of all the energy that locks us in sync

1440 minutes in a day will never be enough
