Ok so my friend who is a snowboarder just made this outrageous comment: 'skiing doesnt look nearly as cool on off piste booters because, they never properly stomp their landings in a clean way.'
So to prove him wrong could you please post any edits with sick backcountry booter footage.

Deep deep pow look silly on a snowboard IMO. It just looks like they are trying gangster lean. I’m sure it’s still crazy fun though.

It's going to be a lost argument, anything you show him he will counter with a clip from The Art of Flight, game over.
