i feel like people dont care about style anymore, in my opinion delorme and wallish and a few others are the only ones who compare to what vanular was doing in high 5 and shanghai six

we get it, "people spin to win all the time" " i hate dub flips" There are still tons of people who value style over difficulty. Hornbeck, Wallisch, Delorme, B-dog, Martini, Bibby, Durtschi, Leigh Powis, Max Hill... the list goes on and on.

i feel like people dont care about stupid threads anymore, in my opinion T-mAEARSk and lil horsey and a few others are the only ones who compare to what Trolls were doing in 2007 and 2008.

Steezy people wll be inherently steezy.  Have Vanular do a 1080 in the pipe, and a cork 9 off a normal jump... they'll both be steezy.  Have you seen Wallisch's 10 in the pipe?  It's amazing.  There are just two different groups of skiers.  Some are just steezy, all the time.  Some focus more on technicality. 

It's freeskiing... who cares.

I agree that Cosco, or any of the KOS video contest winners how ever righteous a dude they may be don't come close to Vanular in terms of style. However, I still think this thread is silly, there are tons of guys out there with good style even if Corey is still top of the pile. I think more people are concerned about their style now than ever and this reflected in pro skiers too.

On a separate note, it was discussed on here last year how ridiculous King of Styles name is, as it is no more based on style that any other big air contest.

Thanks for dropping this bomb of knowledge on us.

Steeze ≠ Style

Steeze = tall-tees and afterbang

Style = Something fresh and interesting to watch.

going huge and doing laid out slowmotion spins/inverts = so much more impressive than 1080's or dub flips...

When I watch old movies, all that I think is that even the "huckers" today have much better style than practically everyone a few years ago.  Especially if you compare trick to trick (eg comparing a cork 9 from Refresh vs one from a few years ago).

Is anyone sick of these threads yet? Do what you do, style is style, dont hate, theres no discussion. If you like it, dope, if you dont, do something sicker and it could (but wont) get big.

its all opinion based on what you like best.

but since this is newschoolers you can only have style if you wear tall tees baggy pants and afterbang after every shitty looking trick you do

What constitutes as good style?
It's all in the eye of the beholder.

so true.

my "style" (which to be completely honest i dont like 99% of the time) is to do what i like to do when i'm skiing. ive always loved watching vanular ski and nowadays i can't get enough of watching delorme, by far one of my favorite riders to watch. i can only dream of doing shit like them but i cant, so i do what i do. some people like it some people dont, but in reality, im not trying to please anyone except myself.

I would also like to say that just because a trick is a big spin doesn't mean it doesnt have good style.  Maybe any fast spin isn't style to you, but to me, if you can throw a 1260 with a couple of grabs in it, that is pretty insane.  Most of the time I would agree that less spin usually looks better to me.  I think you are complaining just to be cynical.  because again, you are blind if you say people have thrown style out the window.

I feel like its not really about how much you spin anymore, people tend to make big spins look ill these days. Big spins and small spins can look illin, but I think it depends on how much blunt you grab.

Exactly, its freeskiing. The greatest thing about it is that everyone can have their own styles and tricks. While some tricks and styles may do better in competition and the like, everyone can do their own thing. Take Wallish and Jon for example, both world class skiers with incredibly different styles of skiing. Worry less and ski more...
