it's pretty much tanner's signature style. hunched over, hands low, knees far apart. looks like a gorilla

One day I was riding and decided to try it for the hell of it, at first it felt fuckin stupid cause you're so used to your normal ski form, but after a few minutes it actually felt kinda good. Riding just felt a little more relaxed and it totally changed my style when i rode like that, it gave me a different hit on the same jumps though too, it just launches you different it seems. The wider stance made everything really smooth and spins and shit were right slow, but it was alomst like evrything got easier when I rode with 'gorilla steez'. i'm definately gonna ride like that every once in a while for fun. People thoguht it looked mint too, I guees just cause they never seen anything like it. whatever.

I was in whistler over thanksgiving and i tried some 'gorilla steez' on the rails. i unzipped my jacket and had at it. It kinda helps you balance better. although i still do my normal stance when i grind, gorilla steez is a fun change of pace.

i don't think gorilla style is that good. but if you look at Mike Douglas back a while he was hitting jumps in a similar way. The difference is tanner takes it farther and wheres ghetto clothing that makes it look funnier


If god can do anything can he make a chili pepper so hot he can't eat it?

its gorilla steeze dickheads


my intire crew waited for his ass at the bottem of the hill and beat the shit out of him. i broke his poles agianst a tree, and we snapped one of his skis. fucker got uppercutted so much. he was bleeding from his eyes and shit, crying like a little pussy. i busted out a body slam on his ass and broke both of his arms. the ski patroler broke up the fight and clipped all of our tickets. we where gonna beat the shit out of the patroller but my mom came to pick us up.

ok, i'll correct you:

when jon talked about his thoughts on 'gorilla steeze' he merely said that it was not his particular cup of tea, but that it looks good when it's done right, which he mentioned that tanner makesa it look pretty dope. he definitely has a small amount of the fundementals of that kind of style. he keeps his hands low, his feet aren't locked together, and he stays clean into the jump, in the air, and when he lands. he just doesn't look exactly the same as tanner when he rides.

Last weekend I tried it for the hell of it, but I couldn't fucking turn well, so I stopped. How the hell do you edge when you are that far backseat?

At camp, Kristi (Leskinen) would always try to make us ride like Tanner and Evan. Kristi was mean as hell and had a ego the size of Texas. But I suppose I would too if I could jib and ski like her...but I can't compare nor am I a girl so that won't happen.
