The Zero Spin Hype

It has been brought o my attention, that the zero spin, is not as difficult as it is made out to be. I think there is a lot of hype abut how difficult the zero spin is, but in all seriousness, how many people do you see fall on them? I think they appear to be harder in the ski industry only because they have been made out to be, like 4 years ago. Things have cahnged since 4 years ago.

Now on the other hand, huge zero spins (and im not talking even 50-60, i mean lik at least 75+) can be very difficult, props to Andy Mahre, as well as taking zerospins to the bottom of the landing on a big jump, props to Lolo Favre.

Don't get me wrong, I think zero spins can lok sick and I will do them on occassion, but I do think that they are highly overrated, and this should be recognized in the ski industry.

These are my thoughts, What are yours?

Peace out, Napolean.

Guys I've heard wiggers across the country use the term "mark" or "mark ass bitch" or something like that.


What the fuck does that MEAN?

A lot of dumbasses claim they can do 0's just cause they THINK they can because they think it requires less technicality and more balls.

A zero is way more tech than a five for me.

ROFL i love how some people think they're so hard when they talk shit on the internet. also, i love how some white people think that they are actually black/ghetto/gangsta. i dont know this guy but i'm willing to bet anything he didnt grow up in harlem.

i'm not a big ninthward fan, and cosco isnt one of my favorite skiers, but i still guarantee that he could dominate you on the hill, and i'm also willing to bet he'd fuck you up in a fight... strictly on the fact that you posted possibly the gayest thing newschoolers has seen in a while.

please do everyone a favor and never post ever again... ever. thank you that is all

Sincerely,
White Guy Who Acts His Ethnicity

I am not in the same opinion that zero under 75 footer are easy. Personally, I think the trick in itself isn't too difficult however, with different combinations such as a blunt for instance, like one made by Pep at JOI, is mad craaaazy!

to anyone saying they are easy/overrated....if you can zero everything you can straight air, then i will believe you. but thats not the case...for anyone. so how can this trick be so easy/overrated? sure, a stupid park jump is easy...but what isnt easy on them? ive never done a switch 1080, but im sure its not hard...in the park. now take it to a pow kick, or a natural kick, or a cliff. the 95% success rate suddenly turns to 5%, IF YOURE LUCKY. once a trick becomes easy, take it to the next level. (outside the groomed idiot trap) or you can call it easy, and not get any better. go try it off different terrain, eat a lot of shit in the process, then come on here and tell how easy they are....i dont know where this is going, but every trick can be called easy, when in actual reality, every trick can be impossible.
