funeralHey guys, I just want make a thread of my favorite skier Andri Ragettli. Andri is killing every comp of FIS freeskiing. His style is maybe the worlds best ones. Andri´s every trick is so well performed and perfect. I just cant handle the hate which is being conflicted to Andri, you all jealous skiers who do not got talent enough could shut the fuck up. I think every skier should look up Andri and respect him as a skier. He is bringing so much new energy at this sport. And all this gay-talk about Andri. Who cares if you like guys or girls, just follow your on path and do not care about anything! Positive energy rules!

skiordie666Simple answer: unoriginal jock style.
But he does send fucking deep and will triple anything.
SamMcChesneybecause he does k feds in slope runs
thebusiness19That way I don't feel like a slope final is just a blur of highlighter yellow Volkl and Head skis being flung around a few features and jumps.
CalCarsonplus look at his run from aspen world cup https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd-qIchn3j7/?hl=en&taken-by=andriragettli
He won with the weakest rail line out (natural sw 2 continuing 2 into natural k fed)
compared to the other podiums

Park_RangerLol bro. Don't get me wrong, Andri is an extremely talented slope style skier... maybe one of the best in the world.
But fuck all of that. Fuck FIS and spending your entire career training a comp run. Does this kid ski anything but park jumps?
"

I read this and then think about Henrik and Phil and laugh at the silly joke you just told. I could probably list out 50 skiers that Andri will never hold a candle too when it comes to style, influence, energy, progression, etc.

skiordie666His rail landings on that run are probably the worst thing ever. Nothing looks more forced than trying to look relaxed like Magnus.

johnkSo glad someone brought this up.. With a rail run like that you should instantly have no chance at landing on the podium.. He's risking nothing and just getting by so he can go chuck on the jumps, whereas ferdinan and oystein are doing some fucked shit, that is way way harder to do consistantly than a triple 14 safety grab..
SuckMySkisSame shit as Goepper... landing quads (in few years probably quints) but no style whatsoever. Exactly whats wrong with todays freeskiing

skiordie666This is where slopestyle judging is lacking right now.
You fall off a rail a foot before the end -> you get a score of 70 something even if everything else on that run was good shit.
Cruise through the rails with k-feds and 2-on-2-offs -> no effect on score.
Above the average tech or originality on rails -> minor bonus or no effect on score.
How does that kind of judging encourage anyone to take any risks with rails? Of course those examples are exaggerated, but currently comps have zero margin for error and that leads to playing it too safe especially on rails.

MBSif someone 5 corks before i learn to 2 pretz 2 ill quit skiing forever
scratchskier321if you remember when tom wallisch won Aspen X Games slope..... he won on the last run when he upped 270 to 450 off that wall ride.... the judges do factor in rail risk.

JoeC92Now that you bring up judges, it makes me wonder who they are. Are they skiers who are good at park or just people who know the tricks?
jmckay7Tbf, Andri is doing world first tricks and winning gold medals across the sport, skiing every day and loving life... I reckon he doesn't give a fuck what you think, or any NS member for that matter, he's probably never even heard of the site.

scratchskier321this isn't true. bobby brown did easy 2-on-2-offs and 2on today and his score got crushed. but his jumps were top 4-5 on the day.
ThundercatYou must be Andri's boyfriend
