I didn't mean for any hate. I just wanted to know what people thought was style they didn't really care for.  I guess it got a little out of hand. So MODS if you wanna destroy this thread. Much appreciated!

so parts of this are right but whats an example of Wallisch not on jumps and rails? last years field productions movie he slayed some small pillow lines. so i want you to prove me wrong. And yes Charlie Agers style is the coolest.

Style > Skill

As long as you can afterbang a good 100 yards than you are amazing at skiing.

i totally agree henrik just looks dumb sometimes.  He definitely is sick, don't get me wrong, but his style seems forced and he looks like a little ball with his oversized clothing.

i actually fully agree, he looks like the sickest kid ever everywhere, but when he hunches over he looks kinda silly. overall i like the steeze though.

This thread embodies exactly where I don't want to see skiing go. People getting called out for their personal style? Jon practically invented the way we look at controlled tricks. It may seem less individual because everyone else tries to emulate it. FUCK my keyboard jumping all over the place.

People should post styles that get them stoked, and leave everyone else alone. The only people who's style should be criticized are the mindless followers who try to be like their favorite pros and force styles that aren't their own.

FUCK my computer keeps jumping to the text above for no reason and starts typing there instead. Sorry

What "slaying" pillow lines to you is obviously different than what "slaying" pillow lines is to me then.

and I don't give a fuck if i prove you wrong, it's not a competition.

This thread has gotten out of hand.

Spriggs is smooth for his height- how many pro skiers are over 6'4? Not many, in fact I can think only one....

Style is individuality and Gagnier def has that.

Tanner Hall and Jon Olson have style- if they didnt, they would not be who they are today.

My pick is Charles Ager......if you even kno who that is.

Anyone who isnt part of the nimbus crew.

Nah Im playing. But seriously though, I think if you're looking for the definition of style, it's any of the nimbus films.

I'm surprised that this thread has lasted this long without an all out war happening.

Btw everyone hating on henrik's style needs to look at his dub 12 blunt and sw 14 grabbed to 1080. He's honestly a fucking style factory

Stop hating on spriggs, he's a sick skier! he throws alot of dubs too. other tall skiers with pretty good styles: Nick Martini, Liam Downey, Bibby, collins, Adam Delorme.

I think Andreas' style is not that good. he's supertech though.

honestly, bobby brown.  he throws some sick stuff and lands it perfectly.  he just makes it look hard.  In my mind, style is making it look easy

I really think Dumont lacks style. He can throw downs big tricks but, he can't afterbang or look as steezy on rails and in the big mountains.
