for thos of you that got the second issue of ski time and accualy read it youll remeber a slightly confusing debate about charles's 1 footed grind vs tanners nollie lipslide and weather or not charles should have one. My personal belief on the prior of the 2 is that both these tricks are extremely tech and sick. I see 1 footed grinds becoming as popular and stylish as nose/tail presses. On the subject of who should have won the comp. im gona have to disagree with harvey (who i still respect as much as neone in the ski industry) when he claims that tanner clearly wins. On harveys chart he gave 2 points for tanners Perfect 450 on/270 off but only one for charles perfect switch unnaty 7, therefore they tie and making pure opinion on personal style the only determining factor. I wrote this because i was reading over it and wondering if anyone else shared my same views or if i should just shut the fuck up.

is it this the one? then il say charles 1st reasons: he had the cleanest landing on the switch 10, he spin both directions good, he grabs fat out on his mute, and all his landings rocks! jon should have got 2. reason: he has overal sick style, you couldn't tell he was doing the cab 7 cab cause it was so good, he had good grabs, he spin unat 2 on the rail. his unat 5 in the corner was sick. his 7 tail was just okay, realesed the grab to early and grabbed to late. tanner 3. reason: he had no good uant spins, he had some sick rail stuff. his switch 7 cruton wasn't to much, but his sw 5 mute in the corner was sick! really tweaked. he had only two good landing on the jumps, the corner and the sw 7 cruton. he hardly made it over most of the jumps, and he had his hands down in the landing on the sw 10. just what i think! common and hate me all you 10 year old tanner wannabes and all you swedes ( i had my money on jon and i still think he will kill every comp he enter this year)

before that comp i have never seen a one footer before. i thought it was really inovative and stylie. I also read that article in ski time and saw that harvey gave tanner 2 points for a perfect trick and only one to gagnier's perfect 7. gagnier won the comp, it is over. this year people have changer their minds about the one footer and lets see how it plays out.

if u touch with yr hand on lading u loose points, Charles was so much cleaner
he stomped the shit out of everything, as for 1 footers , isn't it all about technical grinds and progression & thats what it was.

gainer had a less "stylie" first trick.
tanner put his hand down on the most important jump in the comp.
not much more than that.

he didn't land more than to jumps good, rest was "shitty" landings! ofcourse they where sick compared to me, you and most others here, but it was shitty compared to the rest of the landings. he got way to short on most of them, and the unat 5 just sucked all over

they are all rip offs from other sports like every other sport but some things are definitly better, like nollie lipslids!!

but by talking about 1 footers the way you did it made it sound like nollie lipslides aren't a rip off.

just watched all the runs again, and I can second that tanners rightsides wasn't much to hang in the tree... On a professional level ofcourse...

nollie lipslide isnt really incredibly tech if you think about it. nollie railslide is much more tech, because when you nollie your tails are already in the air to lipslide. if you nollie railslide, you have to pop much more to bring your tips over the rail, like doing a regular lipslide but much harder. id like to see more butters on, like mikael in 1242 and forward, and i wanna see someone 50-50 to 270 sw up

tanner may have had a slightly if it all sloppier landing, but he spun cork and it looked crazy. but really who cares it was a year ago

charles dont touch.limit possible but i dont touch and look where land charles and where tanner lands ,charles go more big. And a switch ten true tail is the most difficult grab in switch ten probably only a switch ten true nose is more difficult .a see only 3pro land a swicth ten true tail .charles ,mackealdechenaux and dc.

english is probably his secong language.
As much as i like Charles, i would have gave it to Tanner.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
They have this year to sort it out.

bullshit, tanners 10 was so much more difficult. and he did a REVERSE true tail, which means that he just had to look in the direction he was spinning and could spot the ski easly. Tanner couldn't even see his grab while spinning.
I can agree with dechenaux's ten being harder, because he did a regular true tail.
btw, If you look at gagniers ten you can see that during the spin, he moved his hand from toxic to true tail.
