i've heard of austin but not spence and then both rip but the problem is there are hundreds of guys that rip just as hard so that level is now more common.

Kid's got a lot of talent, and a clean style.  As far as copycat style/wannabe Wallisch/Hornbeck, give him a break.  He's only a kid...of course he's going to emulate pros.  I'm sure he'll develop a more unique and personal style as he grows up.

yea but hes a wallisch brogan gangster whatever wanna be so u won't hear of him..lame shit if u ask me..no need to wear tight pants and be emo just to be known..sucks the industry is like that..ppl like wallisch want kids to copy that shit cuz they know they won't perfect it(or at  least have the chance to) like he has.  i agree w/ u tho andy..and he does deserve some props regardless of his attitude.

Yeah you're right. Wallisch, Harlaut, THall, etc all want kids to copy their styles because they won't be able to pull it off the same and then they can stay at the top and no other kids will break through and become pro skiers.

Why don't you think about that one....

no everyone has their own style and does everything their own way..but because he's trying to do it like the others and everyones doing that he won't make it..but he's got alot of talent and i think if he has the chance he def. could..but others don't like the fact he hasn't done his own original thing yet.

what stupidity. chances are that kid is just like hundreds of other kids on this site; he loves skiing and pours his heart into doing his best. hes obviously proud of what he can do if he posts an edit or promo or w.e. give the kid a break, he kills it, and is emulating the style of someone he looks up to. thats how shit works, so fuck you hater.

yeah but the point the other dude making is that no one that skis only park is going to come out to the mountains and just automatically know how to slay deep pow to the point where they are better than people that do it all the time. There's a learning curve for powder, especially heavy ass coastal shit. You gotta be strong or you're going to run out of energy in 5 turns and have the shittiest time of your life.

wasnt for me, but for someone from the midwest who has never skied it, and is going at it unprepared... yeah it could take a whole season to get good at it. not everyday is a pow day as well add in that pow isn't always consistant endless champagne fields.

lol thats more or less my case, with the indoor snowhill, only that its in  germany for me. im really far away of any kind of hill or snow, but once ive graduated from school im going to travel the world for 6 months and go skiing where the best snow is, hopefully ive saved enough till then. though i manage to go skiing only like two weeks a year, im not that bad. ofcourse not comparable to those guys, but i train alot from the diving board and on tramps. if you got nothin, you gotta use the little you do have best :D
props to them all. theyre still good and would kick most of our asses IMO
