He seems to have like unparalleled proprioception and a robotic fluidity that is really fun to watch.


https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/987455/COLBY-STEVENSON----ANTIDOTEI dont really understand why ppl say robotic style is a bad thing. Its the most elegant way to ski imo. Vanular and delorme both have a similar robotic style. Its not so much about being rigid as it is about being so in control in the air that you become lazy and end up revealing how easy it is for you to do this shit.

Delorme robotic style?

You've said some dumb stuff on this website, but this takes the cake for being the dumbest.

I think hes a really good skiier and had good style, but i feel like his skiing has no personality. I agree with the robot thing.

people gotta understand that not EVERY trick has to be dripping in style. When you're focused on comps and pushing the boundaries of skiing, then your #1 priority is probably not the steeze sorry to break your hearts. Its one or the other for that type of skier, and that can be seen clear as day when you watch his clips where hes doing more chilled out/ controllable tricks.

If you think these arent sick you must have a real narrow perspective on style

Colby’s one of those guys that really rides according to his kit. Whenever he’s in a slvsh cup, his kit is swag and thats how he rides. But whenevr he wears a more “normal” style typical winter jacket. Thats how he rides. Guys got gross sty

Honestly now that I think of it everybody kinds like that hahah

I mean he does have miles more style in the tricks he does than most people that fit into the "Comp Jock" category. Honestly its probably just harder to inject steeze into trip corks than simple rail tricks.
