These guys have to be the most unstyliest skiers ever. They butcher most of the tricks they throw.

I think Salomon and Predetor sponsor them.

Words is good, choose them proper.

they should join the olympic freestyle team so we dont have to hear about them.

doubles only suck if you have no style.... I dont know if there is any out there who could make a double misty look good... it looks too much like aerials bullshit

yeah, like I've seen some double backs that look really cool. You just can't look like your hucking it.

could you throw a double d-spin
*Member of the WestCoast*

if you huck one you could possibly do it with a LOT of air and then there goes all the style so itll suck

ya but still, a double d-spin would be sick

last night we got on the subject of the schrabs and hucking and shit like that and Doug Bishop had some really good points. All this table shit isn't new, they were doing all this way back in the day, but a lot of people got hurt so they built better jumps, and they were like, hey, if we build jumps into water we can do even crazier tricks....so they did. and now we have ariels.

And right now the majority of people are all about tables, and this isn't right. We should concintrate on the new stuff like slopestyle, halfpipe, and jibs, bacause tables isn't really new.

halfpipe is sick...you just never hear much about it, i dont think i have ever seen a 1/2pipe event on TV, i have seen a couple of big air comps tho
*Member of the WestCoast*

Adam is the sickest cause he throw anytrhing.....
theyr problem is the style, they are just hucking themself out of BIG jumps..

Tables are damn fun but you have to do some other stuff like Qp,1/2 pipe, spine rails and gap... the guy who do quad quad over 40 fett kicker is not better then the guy who throw some sweet 360 with cool grab over a little jump and who grind some mail box.

god damn...how can you not like the Schrab's??? I saw them up at Boyne last season, and i thought they were great. Most of us, maybe all of us, couldn't do 3/4 the shit those kids throw. Sure it isn't stylie or whatever, but it is still sick to see...you guys don't give them enough credit for sure...haha, actually, you give them no credit...but i think they are a couple of badass skiers, and we all know aerials is for older men that can't bend over and grab


I don't get strokes mother fucker!...i give 'em...-Some big black guy

I give them credit for having balls, but the tricks they thrown are sooo ugly. I dont think anyone can deny that these guys go big, but when you cant make it look good and just plain huck everything thats where i draw the line. That double misty was straight ugly! And I've also heard that they are assholes too. I hate to jugde someone on what somebody else has said, but it just seems that way to me.

i have heard some people say they are assholes but they were at cascade and we were standing on the deck on the halfpipe talking to one of thme and he sounded pretty cool.

and i heard a rumour that they like young girls.
what's up with that story???

A dspin is very close to a back full.... so wouldn't a double d spin just be a double back full? I think that has been done - several thousand times. it is called arials. they throw doubles.
style, smoothness, and creativity are what separate us from them. Why throw doubles, and huck tricks... it isn't good for our sport at all.
DAVE PAULS

founder of the flippy spinny thing naming revolution.

Dear All,
I have watched this argument go on long enough, I would like to make a few points:

1. When did skiing/new schooling not include having some balls. I'm really tired of people saying that they'd rather see a big stylie 360 mute as opposed to some spinny flippy double thing. You might have convinced yourself that this is what you like but, deep down, everyone wants to see the craziest shit possible. And from experience, people at various comps exlpode when they see something nuts.
And...
I am in no way saying that I don't like the stylie stuff. I'm just saying that one must have a good mix of the style with the balls.

2. In relation to aerials...
What the Shrabs are doing are not aerials. There are no corks, no switch, no off axis in aerials. Aerials are also performed under the most controlled conditions possible, jump angle, landing slope angle, wind conditions etc. These guys are 'hucking' these tricks in the backcountry, onto ice and off shitty jumps. They also aren't doing the same quad-quad over and over. This is not aerials.

3. About the lack of style...
I am in no way saying that I feel that the double misty had very much style. I am gonna put it on record that some of the stuff they do does have style. I've seen sweet crossed up double fronts and backs. There is also no reason that they won't be able to toss a sweet tail grab in there this year. It's all about progression. A few years ago, I would be shocked and amazed to see a 900. JF Cusson won the x-games with the ugliest switch 7 I've ever seen. Look where we have gotten. Why stop here? If guys like the Shrab's are pushin the limits, people will come along and improve on what they're doing. Look at the D-spin Candide did 2-3 years ago that won the x-games, everyone can do a stylier d-spin now. I've overheard guys who've practised into water to be able to do double back to late 180 tail grab this season, do you not want them to do this because it might not have a lot of 'style' right off. I would probably pay money to see that shit.

4. I am aware that I got off the topic of the Shrab's and concentrated more on the 'style' factor. I also wanted to point out that in another one of this type of thread someone posted that 'newschooling' wasn't even skiing at all ( i actually read this), bull shit, why can't we stray from the stereotype of snowboarders on skis as we can, on average, go faster and bigger than snowboarders can. We are skiers and therefore we should be able to do tricks that rely on more air.

5. Do not let your emotions towards these guys sway your feelings about their skiing. I have never met them and they could be the biggest fucks I've ever met, but that doesn't mean in any way that they aren't sick skiers. Maybe they're assholes to all you guys because you constatly put them down and say that they have no skill.


I have been part of the twin-tip revolution from the beginning and consider myself to have the background to be making these observations. Thanks for reading my rant and your constructive criticism is fully welcomed.

ZOMG LUKE FER SHUUREE!!!!

(bump by the way)

do i win longest bump?

you win gayest bump

hell yeah!

its funny how now we have doubles that are more sylish than most singles back in the day. we still have the same arguments. I want to see triples being thrown and like kan flip 1440's

Hucking is Badass

WORD

haha i was just going for longest bump (I apologize for the gayness of it), but now that i actually read the thread, its funny how the same arguments were happening in 01 as what happened when kangaroo flips came into play. And i had no idea that doubles were being thrown back in the the day, why were they not nearly as publicized as the kangaroo?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH BUMPING ALL THESE OLD ASS THREADS!??!?!



yes it deserved caps.

doubles kinda died off completely for awhile in the "golden age of style" then came the switch ten era and in those couple years people realized that maybe double flips are more exciting to watch than switch cork 10 mutes.

I think the kangaroo flip was so big because people were bored with switch spins and it actualy was a stylish double

SUMMERTIME BOREDOM!

Exactly

i hate  stupid kids like you that do gay rollerblade grinds and make skiing look just as retarted.....
triples are retarted, soo are roller fag grinds

Don't hate. Appreciate.

we have come so far.......

I wish someone could shown us in 2001 a glimpse of skiing today, I think we would all would shit our pants in disbelief
