style has evolved so much over the last 5 years. i think gorilla still looks so dope esp. on rails. steeze now is like as long as it looks effortless. what do you think. (the best example for gorilla steeze is prolly liam downey in superpark 5)

are you kidding me, absolutely know way is liam downeys style "gorilla", as far as rail style goes these days there is just style, nothing else, if u havn't developed a style its not style its just you trying something a certan way, i can't relaly explain it.

in his picture, it obviously looks like he is "forcing" steeze because he said that he was "trying" it out...

steeze is just if something looks sick, who gives a shit what somepeople call it, if you see a trick you think looked mad cool then shout it out "STEEEEEEEEEEZY"

Whatever looks good is steezey. I think effortlessness is a big important part of steeze. I like gorilla steeze if its done right. I think Simon Dumont in X had sick Gorilla Steeze when he did that floaty 180 off that step up. That was super steezey. He held it so long to. Super steeze.

i think gorilla looks shitty usually cuz when you need to do a change up or something and you jump you look like your trying too hard. i like when peole are more upright and the cange up and it looks more clean and effortless. usually.

dude are u fuckin kidding. style is something your own. people started callin tanners style gorilla steeze. and he didnt even call it that. all faggots like you started to cuz u weere tryin to immitate style thats not yours. its funny to see kids tryin to get all hunched over while doin tricks and then skiing like a douche outside of park cuz that isnt there style. get a fuckin a life tool bag

nice try pal, but i'd have to say you're the dumbass. It's not "gorilla style." or steeze, or anything like that.

is this what it looks like:

NO! It doesn't mean you're mimicking friggin apes.

Rather the style you're referring to is "GEURILLA." No people who ski like this aren't part of some militia, rather the term is used meaning "irregular" or "underground."

Those in combat who adopted innovative techniques to surprise the enemy were labled "Geurillas." Thus the skiers in our sport who are trying new styles, and being innovative/irregular have "Geurilla Steeze."

PROVE ME WRONG

i prefer to be lazy where you just dont really try at all. like when you just kinda fall off with a 270 or don't even try to grab with a spin. i just think it feels really natural.

I just do my own thing. I just have a little bend in my knees and put my hands at my balls, with my poles out to the side, very similar to the pic Nomensteven posted, i think it looks stupid if you force something.

I think steeze is what people have said above me. Steeze is steeze if you do it with ease.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gorilla+steeze

if you look at the third definition, it clearly states that if it aint gorilla it aint steeze.

but in all seriousness I have to agree, steeze is what can be done without any form of sketchyness
