Even then he didnt really gross them much. The most crossed I remember them being was when he does that dope transfer on the qp with a wrong side tail

crossing skis does not equal talent, which he has plenty of

No and I hope he never does. I hate crossed grabs, tweaked grabs and anything involving two hands.

WOW! Go watch the video on the line skis site where he does a huuuuge zero spin off a cliff and stomps it and rides away like its nothing...how many people have done that? Just cause he doesnt do switch 10's doesnt mean hes not one of the best, rather, it means he IS one of the best because he doesnt have to huck to be amazing

yeah i think hes boring. all he does is like big mtn going bakcwards and like 180's. i geuss thats hard, but not very itneresting to watch, especially when msp slow mos every shot to like 20 percent, with slow rock and roll.

man....he just does what he wants....he is one of those unique skiers who thinks that you don't have to throw these huge ugly spins. It depends on what you like.

god, you kids these days. all you see are truckdrivers, switch 1440s, 810 rail gaps, etc. in my humble opinion, while all that stuff is totally insaine, its stunts. in no way is it expressive. pollard is a true artist, and his skiing is just that, a work of art. i can garentee all you lil punks that pollard could destroy 90 percent of the park rat pros out there on anything, the dude was sliddin all sorts of stuff switch unnaty before you kids were even on skis. if you were in his boat, what would you want to do? i know i personally would run around every day up to my eyebrows in powder with a big heli budget in a heartbeat, isnt that where we all want to be? Pollard is an amazing park skier, and i do miss watchin him ride it, cause he is dope. but hes done his time in the park so to speak, and pushed the sport to where it is now. now he is doin the same for skiin in the BC.

Seriously...Pollard is the shit...no one else on earth skis the way he does. As ski8990 said above, go watch the video on the new line website, I'm pretty fuckin' sure that the huge zero spin shifty off the cliff was the sexiest thing I've ever seen in my life...and at the very end, the crazy noseslide 50-50...just watch it cause Pollard kills...and if you really want to see crossed skis and huge, hucked spins, just watch the kids at your local park, then again...that's why they aren't where Pollard is today.

Back to the question, yes pollard does a mute grab off a rail of all things, but i forget what movie its in.

And for all the guys that thinks Pollard is just another big Mt. guy watch the old movies pollards is in, he kills the park. He had better rail style back in the day then a lot of people do today.

it is pure opinion, and i cant believe how heated these arguements get over who is the best park skier and such.

HOWEVER

the one thing that pollard does, is he epitomizes a "freeskier". He does skis how he wants, where he wants, films with who he wants, and above all, innovates (from the technical side), without any concern what the public thinks. Do you think pollard will be doing switch 10's off park booters because he feels the need to impress every little kid out there? He doesn't care about what people think, and is a free thinker. THAT is why he is so popular. He represents what everyone wishes their life could be. he designs skis that he wants to ride, he gets to ski in exotic places (any of you guys planning a trip to russia?),and above all, he loves what he does. He is free from all restrictions.

For real! He killed it the couple times I rode with him. He's the shit. I can't beliiiiieeeeeve the amount of Pollard-knocking I've seen the past couple months here. Respect that shit you can't even touch.

He can ski it all, and chooses to ski what and how he does it? That's pure freeskiing to me. No touching him.

And Andy's comment is dead on.

we all understand your point. but you look like a jerk because you can't articulate your point in better ways than knocking someones skiing, telling them to kill themselves, and calling them a gay bitch.


you need a job or a girlfriend or something.
