TOAST.I think that most Tall T stuff is ugly. Cool company because they support a lot of riders, but not my cup of tea.
Jemsit’s pretty ugly now but it’s still respectable

dwt802Center mounted or mostly center mounted twin tips shorter than you are almost impossible to ski well on challenging terrain and are extremely unstable.

Jemsi ride the same skis as you on the mtn ????
Farmville420Time for a real unpopular opinion: I think Cam Riley is the greatest freeskier of all time. I have a pretty long essay written about this and the thought process and why it actually makes a lot of sense, I’ll drop it if enough people come at me with shit excuses and boring logic.
TOAST.I wouldn't even call him the best street skier of all time.
Farmville420I would argue that being technically deficient and not only making a career for yourself but also changing the game, and standing out, developing an identity for your skiing, while never seen spinning more than a 450 out of a rail is quite literally one of the most impressive achievements in freeskiing history. And it’s not like it wasn’t deserved, Cam Riley said it himself “I’m not the best, but I have good fundamentals, so I just try to work with that”, I think making people care about a 90 to switch is fucking mind blowing, especially given the era and progression when he was in the limelight
TOAST.Not being as good as everyone else = best freeskier of all time?
Farmville420I think being good is a weird criteria for a sport with the word “free” in it. The freedom to ski how you want and play to your strengths is the best part of the sport. To be a good skier, you shouldn’t need to win FWT, because there are a million different types of skiing. Would you consider halfpipe skiers bad skiers because they don’t shred BC, or would you just say they are good at pipe? I think with more and more different niches and subdivisions of the sport, the best way to judge each skier on their ability to play to their own individual strengths and how well they execute their own style. I think saying “well this dude was good at this but not as good at this” kind of defeats the freedom aspect of freeskiing, doing what you do better than how anyone else does themselves is what makes the greatest, not who’s the most well rounded or good at a specific criteria. So to me, Cam was better at 90 to switch and straight airs than anyone else is/was at their own individual style. It’s been nearly a decade and I’ve seen ONE cam spot recreated out of the hundreds.

ReturnToMonkeyAre they short tho? Haven't you said you have no idea how to ski moguls with Jeffs on here before or something like that?
JemsI couldn't ski moguls with those roof ass center mounted marker barrons + no poles, I quickly figured out the power of the pole plant after the remount.

hi_vis360The line blade is just a worse version of a carving ski for people who are too image obsessed to rip on a carving ski
BradFiAusNzCoCaI’ve been thinking about that for a minute. How we all just fell for marketing and a rebranding of an all mountain carver
