Style as a result of skis
anyone else notice their park style changing dramatically depending on what skis they're riding? when I had vishnus from the first day I put them on I had unstoppable wabs hands, but every time I put on my full camber park skis I have wicked blader squat and my arms usually stay down. whenever I take my pow skis through the park my knees are straight on landings and I have to scissor my legs like mad to stop spinning, almost like on rollerblades. idk if it's subconscious but my skiing definitely looks different depending on what I have on my feet
I don't believe in this idea at all. I have been riding magnuses all year and I'm old wave as fuck
Yeah I can see this to a certain extent. If I got buttery skis Ill be ollieing and jibbing everything, but put me on stiff skis and Ill be more into making proper turns and going fast. You can almost see the mountain in different ways.
Style much better with ski blades

Here is my opinion. It's more about the flex of the skis. If you have a stiff ski you won't be able to smear and swerve but if you have a super noodle ski then you'll be smearing and swerving but not really charging... but for actual style it doesn't change much how someone looks how they ski. Unless they have fake style
I feel that when I'm using my Volkl walls, which are pretty much 2x4's, I ski fast and spin fast. When I'm riding my Armada B dogs, which have a short turn radius, I tend to do more butters, but that's mostly just because they're easier on a softer and more rockered ski. I still generally have the same skiing style and it really comes down to what is easier. I'm sure there is a huge placebo effect coming in here too. I bet if a Fischer nightstick graphic was slapped on a pair of Magnus's, the skkiier wouldn't be swerving around waving their hands all over the place. You may still be buttering around, just with that as a product of using a flexy ski, but there wouldn't be this thing in your subconscious telling you to ski like the skiers that use the skis. Tbh I really like my head caddys cause they have a long enough turn radius to go fast but somehow feel slightly softer than my b dogs so those are my main skis for bombing park laps, which feels like it matches my style.
I try to channel Corey Vanular regardless of the skis I’m on
Uhm no
I mean sure, but not really. I agree with what's been said. One time I took my GS skis through the park, and skied normally.
One of my friends, as soon as he took off his helmet, he acted high and new wave as fuck. No clue why

I change my style when I am on different skis. I bought a pair of old beater skis for rail jams/urban. When I have these bad boys on I am ripping every rail in sight and jibbin boulders and sending it through rock gardens. Then I have my nice buttery skis that I have for jumps that I ride much more conservatively. Not to mention pow skis in the park
