I think big fast spin have so much more style when they have a long holding tweaked grab than slow spins with the same thing.

it depends you can style out a big spin as long as u grab and hold it solid, if the grab is mess it just makes the spin look hucked. i personaly thnk slow are more styly

I said grab and hold is solid, and tweak that shit. So guys if the slow spin is the shit, Why didnt the guys at the open throw 3s and 5s instead of 10s and 12s

its supposed to be, but they are all doing 10'2 and 12's because they know thats what they have to do so they can win

i dont know who judged, but it is spin to win if they dont know shit. 10s can look good, anything above is hard to style, but pros manage to do it

yeah, because the bigger the spin, the harder it is to do. Which makes them better skiers

Thank you for realizing what everybody else is incapable of accepting. It does take more skill to do the bigger spins, especially when they make them look as good as they do. I don't know about everybody else, but I personally think a good-looking 10 is a lot harder to do than a cork 3.

i think that fast spins are only cool if done over a huge jump, so they look floaty. hucked stuff is kindof lame looking, but i still respect the difficulty.
if i was judging, some sick cork 5's or 7's would win.

id say nine is the biggest that i think looks dope on a med to large size jump. but if spinning huge is what is gonna push the sport then let it be

not true. a corked three is way harder for alot of people than a corked 7. most pros could spin 1440 easy, but they dont cuz it would look shitty. a good shifty 180 is just as hard as anything hucked.

agreed... id rather see a smaller slower spin than a 1440 or whatever (well maybe that would be sick but i think you catch my drift)

it doesnt mean ur a better skier if u can toss 12's it just means ur good at throwin urself u can also b good at throwin styly 5's and 7's but its just dferent skills and these comps want the skill to toss 10's! so stop bein a dick about it by trying to shut down every1 who sais slow is better cause slo is so much more styly,

I dont care if comps are about big spins. its not like movie segments and what we do everyday is just doing 1080's. plus its easier to judge style on big tricks because its harder to make look good. but i still hope that comps start geting more varaity.just i dont see a cork 3 or 5 beating a cab 7 or 10 just because it had a little more style.

wow. that probably made no sense but im not gonna read it over

depends, if the fast spin is compact and not flaling all over the place, and about the slow spin, its so nice, but not to slow, casue then its boring

Most pros can get a decently stylie switch 7. Not too many people are going to be stomping the fuck out of a tweaked to high holy heaven switch 1440.
