Lol at goepper trying nosebud dub

that's not what I'm referring to. He does similar tricks with slight variations and there is literally not a touch of personalization, it looks like someone doing the exact same thing as henrik except it fucking sucks because it's apparent his style doesn't truly accommodate the trick. It's like someone programmed a robot to do henriks nose butter. The bell bottoms don't help. WHile most people can do them when someone throws a flat 3 it usually reflects the way they usually ski and perform other tricks. When Goepper does a trick someone else popularized it looks in no way unique, just copied.

i find this funny because i can almost guarantee that if you saw that exact same edit, but it was some unknown kid who wears baggy clothing, you would think it was awesome.

People just hate on nick for the same reason that they hate on shaun white: he is successful, but doesn't follow the mainstream skier style

I'm not agreeing with you about your opinions on Goepper. I personally dont think Nick has a "standout" style, but I also dont necessarily think he copies styles either; and its fairly undeniable that Nick is outstandingly clean most of the time.

But on to my point, you should know that Henrik himself is truly guilty of doing what you deem Nick to be doing. When Henrik was young skier, he spent his days emulating other skiers. (go watch the old Mik-D style edits, then after Toms superunkown- he started doin wally tricks, then started chilling with Casabon morphing his style into what it is today) This is undeniable and might have been what helped bring Henrik to where he is now. Sometimes It takes the inspiration and the drive of your surrounding peers to drive you to a new, higher level. And sometimes when that happens, a whole new style or even movement can be born.

no pun intended..   :P

I have been waiting a long time for you to post something like this. Finally! Hating is never justified, and always based on jealousy. How can anyone dislike another fellow skier for doing what he loves and trying new shit. We all share the love of freeskiing and should all support each other in the pursuit of doing what we love. The time people spend on discussing you and what you do is ridiculous. Keep crushin it! Quality post btw.

literally everything you said in that argument was fucking stupid, but you used long words to make you sound clever.

The way this kid rustles everyone's jimmies on this site is hikarious.

It's amazing how much time you little queerbaits spend agonizing over this.

I totally see what you mean and I think I had a hard time expressing this in my first post. All skiers obviously draw inspiration form other older and more progressed skiers. Henrik's skiing reflects a blend of all his inspirations mik d and thall etc. at all times no matter what trick he is doing, and it is also mixed into his own unique style. But the reason why I don't enjoy goepper's skiing very much is because every trick simply looks like something someone else has done isolated and separate from the rest of his skiing. For example if harlaut threw a blunt seven it would look like a mixture between all of his inspirations mixed with his own style, but a goepper seven would probably reflect a more bobby brownesque style, then is henrik were to slide a rail it would once again reflect himself and his inspirations, but goepper's rail hit would look like it came out of harlauts bag of tricks. It just seems like watching goepper ski is like watching multiple skiers ski separately, where henrik clearly expresses his inspiration and his own personality.
