completly agree, comps should be judged on the style and grab rather than spin, but it looks like skiing is going in this direction, and theres not much we can do to change it

yeah dood i think he's right. think he got a little confused as to what he was tryin to say at the end but his point was good. spin-it-to-win-it is where we're going as shown at the open which sucks

Well, perhaps not completely style.

In my opinion, I'd say 50% technical, 50% style. Say, a tech judge and a style judge, and they each award something out of 50. Or perhaps 2 judges each

yeah, but in my opinion tech stuff shouldnt be how many spins you do, rather stuff like switch landings/takeoffs, crazy grabs, spinning unatural etc. tech doesnt have to be spinning...

no not really why can't simon win a comp cause he has no style he just hucks out 12s and thinks he should win. Tanner wins cause he grabs and spins both ways

spin to win it's pretty sad so many people don't know anything else we are the spin to win generation it's sad cause even though he was being sarcastic some it was true.
