Who has watched the "kohl schoening promotional video"?
ive seen it in a few threads and i would just like to say that this epitomises what is wrong with skiing in many respects. the guy simply can't ski. i'm sorry to make you the center of conversation here as ive never met you and your probably a great bloke, but im damn sick of people who cant actually ski but can throw a corked 5 mute in the park or do a switch up or spin onto a rail. You could throw a lot in the park but when you went to drop a 20 foot cliff it looked like you had never skiied in your life. your technique was all wrong and this shows in your park skiing. you land a lot of jumps back seat, in fact you ski back seat pretty much full stop, your too erect, your hands are way too loose and spray from your body, and the list could go on. you might claim, "well thats my style", but at the end of the day, theres ten year old kids out there who can throw these tricks, which basically proves anyone can do it if they hav the balls. throw someone in the back country and in the pow and then you can see their true skiing ability, or even if you just analyse their park skiing, and im sorry to say it again, but u cant ski mate, and u are a big part of whats wrong with this ski industry. innovation is never going to occur from people who cant actually ski, because these park skiiers like yourself who cant actually ski to save their life, are so limited with technicality. park skiing is still skiing, and as long as this is the case, we can only take the sport so far if we're going to be park skiiers who cant ski. learn to ski before you hit the park, its better for the sport!
^ any publicity is good publicity. take 9ward for example, tons of kids talk mad shit about them. but at the end of the day they have a dope team and sell tons of dope skis. schoening, i think this is a good thing.
i said NOT SOLELY doing the sport for fun.
that means u hav another motive aside from having fun, because obviously we all ski for fun. and that other motive is you wanting to become an iconic figure, because thats what sponsored athletes are and thats why companies sponsor athletes...to sell theirshit by developing iconic figures
I was under the impression that nobody hears about most "soul skiers" cause most of them suck badly.
And the next person that says Big Mountain is "harder" than park will be indescriminately uppercutted onto a table, preferably one with a big cake or bowl of punch on it.
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. lets look at the first two letters and the last two letters of that sentince. WOW, they are the same! So you are saying BC is not BC... ok,
Shit Matt why don't you try going in to the backcountry (thats what BC stands for by the way) before you start telling people what it is.
And khol is much more rediculusly good looking then anyone who posted so far.
i like the "erect" things, but then again thats fucking trendy as all shit right now.
i saw the vid without knowing there was any controversy/hype, but i must say that you do land backseat ALOT.
its really ugly.
get that shit under control, and maybe keep your arms in a little more and i would say you are all set to... throw bigger tricks and make companies take note.
Oakley must be either be stupid or lazy if they sponsored that kid for that promo. The entire promo was just filler footage, I kept waiting for an actual trick. Also instead of trying to force Travis Heed's steeze on rails, maybe you should develop your own, since his is forced as well.
wow. this is why this site sucks as of late. you are a complete fuckin tool who cant take the fact that you suck at skiing and people like kohl who kill it are getting hooked up. kid will own you at any aspect of life, not just skiing. seriously, just wait, i guarantee kohl will blow up looking at how much he improved over last year alone.
so suck a dick, no homo, go try to get you 360s on lock then come back and talk, fuckin tool.
Man skiing is for fun. Dont worry about how the other people ski. You are only insulting with your words. I havent seen him ski but as I can see, you are only worried about what the other people think about your skiing or skiing in general. You are loosing the main thing of skiing, it is for fun! If you dont like hes style or how he rides dont see that video or those type of videos.
hey, have you ever thought that it might be nice to get free stuff, i know i have, i certainly don't like paying for new skis every time i break a pair. and to say someone from washington can't ski the rest of the mountain decently is ignorant. you do realize that we get days with so much snow that the jumps in the park turn into bumps right? everyone who skis more than a couple weekends a years can get a round the mountain, and in kohl's defense, that cliff has a really flat landing.
im sorry but i couldnt help but respond again to this thread. stupid ass kids worrying about the "PROGRESSION" and shit are ruining skiing. not kids who like to ski park more than other stuff. or vice versa. so shut the fuck up.
i just cant believe that you can possibly get worked up about another kid's skiing. just SKI man
this is true...as a matter of fact, he did it 4 days in a row, and laughed about it. i think ullr was not very pleaased and decided to grant him only park skillz
