like I know it has some skill to it, but doesn’t have any style at all. Pretty much like the ski racing of park.

It’s not supposed to have style. Slope style is supposed to have style that’s why style is in the name.

Nah, anyone who says aerials is whack has never stood on the inrun and stared these jumps down irl. These dudes are absolutely insane, mad respect to aerials, our sport wouldn't exist without them

I remember being at the Park City water ramps once and some Olympic Aerial team showed up. It was unreal how high those guys hucked and how technical it all is. Yeah, its not freestyle but the sport is its own discipline and I have respect for anyone that can do that.

It’s more of a gymnastics event than a freestyle thing really. I don’t think it’s wack at all could you imagine the mother fuckers that pioneered that shit- building quarter pipes with leather boots and wood skis? Gnarly as hell

It’s aerials. Basically just gymnastics on skis. It’s not meant to be stylish nor creative

Yeah it’s just a different sport. Just like racing which also deserves a bunch of respect. Look at it this way: I’d rather watch a slopestyle comp than a soccer game but that’s because I like slopestyle skiing, not because soccer is whack.

Lmfao I’d love to see you try and ski those jumps. They shoot the skier almost completely vertical and it takes a retarded amount of commitment and skill to do aerials. You need some humble pie buddy

It’s almost exactly like competitive trampoline, trick names are the same and everything. Even the announcers talk about how some of the athletes transitioned from tramp and are still learning skiing. In my opinion it’s more gymnastics than skiing but it’s also insanely gnarly.

It's not my cup of tea but I got to see the arial aces or whatever they are called perform at Utah Olympic Park and it was insane. Not my cup of tea but definitely badass. OP probably thinks moguls are whack too.

Whuuut? Aerial skiing is super gnarly death-defying meat hucking stuntman stuff. Nothing but respect for those guys.

BTW, that same dude Noe just posted up a steezy spring backyard edit. Maybe go suck the cheetos dust off your fingers and watch that instead.

Damn chill 😂. I said I respect tf out of them and I couldn’t do it. It’s just like to me it’s like watching ski racing not my cup of tea. But more talent in their pinky than me

Man that threw some hard nostalgia on me. God. I remember the scene and edits and everything felt so different back then. Back when Salomon had the best “freestyle” boots too.
