Truckdrivers had their place in the sun, now howsabout we park it for a few seasons.

Octograbs schmoctograb, they don't look good

12's in the pipe 14's at big air, slow it down man.

Jon has mad style...when he's not dub-flipping

Instead, I would prefer more:

i really don't mind octograds or doubles. it was something new to try out. i like that there is no arm flailing in the air though a double grab. you gotta be perfectly balanced right form the start and commit.

ever think that the fact pros have to double grab and tweak shit or put their hands in their pockets in order to not flail in the air is a problem?

shut up noob. Octos are sick just as any other trick done with style. gagnier's 12 octo in the us open is amazing (for example)

When people do those tricks with style, that's amazing. Gagnier, switch 12 octo. fuck it.

alrite so i agree that style beats ridiculous spinning - but charles ganginer's octograb still is pretty sick and stylish even tho he may be pulling a big spin in it, as for travis heed he also has some style of his own sure its the whole overdone gangstar stuff and some of the filler in his video looks pretty gay, but when he hist the small dfd rail at less tan 1mph tats some pretty steezy shit

if everyone stopped doing tricks that a few people hate on then the sport would become boring and bland

big spins and double grabs have just as much reason to be a part of skiing as slow spins and effortless style

do what you like and don't worry about what other people are doing

I disagree. Check out Alex Martini in the Hood edits, and you will see some of the sickest sw cork7 octos ever.

Theed < every other skier i see on NS. All he does is rails, ok he's way steeze, but thats ALL he does. Fuck heed, until he does some new shit he's way old news.

I think octos could look way sick but i haven't seen anyone throw them with like a huge slow 5 or something, i think it would be sick

i think if you check the rest of my posts, you'll realise i was being sarcastic.

and as for the guy who tried to rinse me about my name, in reference to my comment about theed, u really are an absolute buffoon. its after Candide's film RASTAFARIDE you monkey. i happen to be a big fan of his.


psshhhh, some people. unbelievable
