Check out Elias's blog to see his triple at JOI!! Elias at 1:23, looks sooo high. I think his is my favorite1
true that! definitely more variety of cool tricks going down on that thing than most of the morons complaining about it realise.
another note to add on elias' trip: people can argue about style for days and achieve nothing. the only objective thing i think you can say about style in a competition context is that you gotta land clean having grabbed your skis effectively and for as much of the rotation as you can. if you ain't grabbin (or doing something else cool like a shifty for example) it'll count against you.
with that in mind i find it fucking mindblowing that learnt a TRIPLECORK 14 what like 2 days earlier, Elias grabbed true nosemute shortly after completing his first 180 and didn't let go until he was like a foot from landing. that is flawless and hugely impressive in my book.
another mini side note: elias seems like a great guy. giving 60% of that cheque to Pekka is definitely a super cool move. not convinced he needs to announced that to the whole world though. cool move regardless, just a thought...
