Nothing better than seeing a super styly 7 or less off a big jump. Hucked tricks just look to forced, no matter how impressive they are a slow rodeo 5 or cork 7 will win everyday.

I am a lanky mother fucker, So my truck 3's look like megamo all the time

Slow lofty spins for the win. I also love stalling it out then a quick finish (thats what she said)

calling something "hucked" is not a positive descriptor, did you expect anyone to disagree with your opinion?

A combination of both, slow spins do look better usually, but sometimes its fun to see how far you can spin on a jump just for the hell of it.

Obviously smooth and slow, but what makes a skier the best is making a fast, hucked trick look smooth and styley.

I think that someone should actually do a really floaty dub tho, that would be sooo sick.

Alright let me change the title. Slow smooth spins versus fast spins that aren't quite hucked but are nearly hucked.

Obviously a sw 16 is cooler than a 5 or 7, who can't spin a 5?

Pros still spin really nicely when doing large spins. Seeing on a screen versus seeing it in person looks a bit different. First time I saw a double 12 in person it loked pretty good, and it was on the denver big air ramp. Hornbeck did really nice looking 9's.

I feel like this is how a lot of the people in this thread feel, but aren't willing to admit it.  As for me, I have no preference, because you could make either one look good with a touch of style.

i enjoy doing both, because i can get a grab with both, but there is no feeling like a big old carved in, gorilla'd out cork three.

so glad someone posted that edit...perfect example of my favorite kind of park skiing... and every kid on ns is always gonna say that they like style on jumps, but out on the hill they're spinning to win and thats what they're stoked on.

There was a snowboarder at my hill the other day doing these super hucked 7's that looked like he was going to eat shit everytime but he always ended up stomping them. They were actually quite enjoyable to watch.

I prefer to see a dub 12 over a fucking 5 any day. This has to be the most retarded debate on SG. I can't believe people would rather see a fucking 5 or 7 over doubles and shit. If you wanna see a god damn 7 come watch me, I've been skiing for 2 fucking years and have 7s on lock. Stupid kids

Just because a trick is fast doesn't mean it doesn't look good. I for one hate when people have edit with like all 7's and 5's and no hard tricks. Anyone can make a 5 or 7 look good. You gotta have hard tricks to get my respect. Ex. Brogan doing tail 5's, look cool, but really old.
