Is AHall too tall to have steezy style?

Watching some old games of Slvsh I’ve come to the realization that height and style do not go hand in hand. Let’s take a look at Alex Hall, sure he can throw sick tricks and everything but he doesn’t have the style to make them look steezy. Having the height that he does he has to work harder to control his spins which makes them not look natural. This makes sense when you look at a guy like EDollo who can make any trick look steezy with huge style points and he’s pretty short.

also Part of the reason why is because he mostly just does insane tricks. Like when he does some fucked shit in this vid its a little iffy but most of it is fire. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSASCaBBE_X/?utm_medium=copy_link

Well what size park skis does Alex ride?

The ct 1.0 only goes to 183 (which is like a 181?

Us Lanky fellas closest chance to long ski steeze in the park are:

191 nomad 95s
and 189 wet/wides

all three of those measure to like 188

John Spriggs has some of the best style I've ever seen and he's 6'5 or so.

Spriggs definitely has a clean style.. Especially for his height... That being said, some of his stuff in the park looks a little odd because of his height. Generally speaking I believe there are many more short steezy skiers out there vs lengthy guys. JC Peggy, Tanner Hall, Simon Dumont, Tanner Rainville, Candide, Dollo, Ahmet... The list goes on and on.. These guys all look SHORT in person haha

Skiblade420Just looked him up, so good


you see this shit yet? this segment is so fucking nuts, it has bc booters with perfect stomped landings on full camber skis, 3 swap on a concrete 4 kink ledge, and the first back swap to switch I ever saw in a ski movie. this was the winter of 05/06 and tons of these clips could be in a movie today, if not all of them.
