Style is all about making it look easy and in control. Nothing else

gorilla steeze is over. It's all bout your own style, and having something unique. JEA!

not.
it's been done for years, and it sickens me to see kids trying so hard to have it, rather than skiing. just fucking ski how you want and how you feel comfortable, fuck other people's style.

i disagree, if all the pros skied how they felt "comfortable" there style would be ugly, i also hate it when kids try to force "steeze" but i do think kids should try to enforce some style into their manuveurs.

I guess Gorilla steeze is ok but if you do it to much it just looks really stupid.

Looks good if it looks natural. I like Tanners style, and I like Liam Downeys, it doesn't really matter to me.

Not. There's lots of amazing skiiers who don't hunch over like a ying yang. (Huh huh, ying yang.) If you can throw down, looking like Tanner means nothing.

just don't force your style. it's all about being in control and super relaxed

I would say not but if thats how you ride well thats sick then. but I like the style where when you land and slide rails you look like your asleep.

not cool to have a certain riding style. cool to just ski how you ski

I disagree with your disagreement. I think what feels comfortable for people looks a lot better than a forced style, not matter what they're doing. I'd even say that Tanner's style is forced, if you ever see him do something big he isn't doing the ol' "rape me" squat, he's standing up with his feet together. I think people should just ski the way they want instead of emulating others' style and trying to ski in a way they can't.

meh, depends. looks good with some people, other's it doesn't. i'm a fan of people making their tricks look easy, and whether they're hunched over or standing uprgith with their hands out makes no difference. no flailing is the key to a steezy trick.

a new steeze has JUST been released to the public as of thanksgiving day 2005.
feet together steeze it is. lets call it tree steeze. you can bend your knees all you want but if you feet come touching one another, youre offically gay.
