I see what your saying....Martini is a tall guy but the only reason he can pull off the thug look is because salomon gives him opportunities for the correct outerwear.Spriggs just doesn't have the luxary for people to throw him out gear,without that ur not going to find the "thug" look ....im 5 6" and i consider 3x to short on me how is man spriggs size going to find tall clothing without riding expensive brands that he is paying for out of his pocket

People talking about Spriggs's height and resultant "lack of style" need to consider suicide as an option.

I'm going to say that Spriggs is "in between" ski sponsors because he's unprofessional, and has burned some bridges in the last couple years. Not that NS is the end-all/be-all, but shit...every time he posts he sounds like a moron with a shitty attitude. He's a great skier—he's put together some good segments, and he's got a big bag of tricks, but nowadays, that doesn't necessarily make him that special or particularly marketable.

No hate, just real talk.

why so much hate? i can't have my own opinion?

don't even try to say that spriggs outerwear looks stylish, and yet again you can't disagree that brands that make super tall clothing are very expensive

my point was the fact that anyone would spend that much time analyzing a pros clothing style.

ninthward most likely, he spent the summer with taylor and owens who are ninthward riders and he seems to be going for that image. more power to him skiing at 6,5

I do, I usually stay out of threads like this. Whatever company picks him up is whatever company fits him best.

I think if spriggs cared a little bit more in Dew tour/ X games and or other major comps I think he could easily pull off some big companys Such as Salomon, Rossi and coreupt

I think Spriggs has crazy style.  And he's a pretty nice dude when I met him a couple of times.  His dubs are super clean, and he shreds the backcountry too.  I think he just likes to go ski and doesn't seem to worry too much about sponsors which I kinda respect.

liberty because he is from/lives in vail and they are just down the road.
it would also be cool if RMU could get him on their team.
Moment would also be a good fit for him I think, although it prolly wont happen.

I love my fischer twins and I haven't had any problem with them.

I could see him going to nordica potentially or even volkl, both quality brands such as fischer with a racing background. That is my 2 cents though.

I think if you are going to compete at the pro level ( when skiing becomes a job)your outwear should at least look good....kids like me look up to pro skiers and believe it or not but what they're outwear style is too

Spriggs doesn't wear anything that makes me say "ohh hey I want that jacket!" or "wow that brand makes some dope gear!"

no doubt he is good rider but is his outwear in tune with his ski style? no way

I enjoy skiing with all its aspects included there is no "wrong reasons"

Your so corporate thug.


For real sounds like you want skiing to be a mix between rap and nascar.

With the thugged out look that you and all your homies be repp'n in CT, but with the company logos all over your tall T. Actually sounds a lot like rob dyrdek.
