At 2:22, he is wearing black and white skis, like Wallisch who is getting a pro model from Scott. Is LJ getting one from LINE?

some companies give their riders "tester skis" that are all white and blank to see what they think of them when they are new, or if they dont have a graphic decided yet or just dont want the public to know what they look like yet, you always see them on hood

Why does everybody that's halfway decent need a pro model?

Companies do it because more people will buy the ski if it has a pro's name on it.

no not really, i hate the celebrity status that is attributed to pro park skiers, just a bunch of normal guys smoking weed and skiing all the time and being really good at it

I'm amazed at the number of people that completely missed the point I was making. The intent wasn't to say that LJ is only halfway decent. What I'm saying is, I don't think every professional needs/deserves to have their name on a ski.

Its a great way to make more money. LJ according to one of the more recent Traveling Circus episodes, has been living in a basement. A little more money couldn't hurt.

you know, i was just fucking thinking that.  Like as far as progression goes, I think TWall has made the least...Duh hes an excellent skier, but he came on the scene super good, his strengths being spinning on rails  IMO, and hes still really good at that, but I just dont see him blowing me away with much else...  Just dont see him switching his game up much. Dunno, guess its tough to explain in writing.... bring on the hate i guess.

Ljs pro mod is a more advanced version of stepup I believe. It wasn't released to public because they felt it was misadveryised I guess

He just hasn't done anything rail-wise in his edits/film sections that have made me double take. All I see is 2 in pretzel out, k-fed or super-fed... I just feel like someone at his skill level could bring more at this point.

Something like Integrating taps, deadlungs, etc. into his rail repetoir.. I guess all the skiers I enjoy watching now are doing different stuff, and he's doing pretzels.

I was just going to post this.
Really, what more can you ask for. He's done all of the tricks he did in Superunknown, but infinitely smoother and on urban rails.
Coincindentally, I've only seen two people EVER do that switch tips down 270 onto a rail (see edit).. Tom and LJ.

That was sick, why isnt that trick just destroying rail jams like the switch rodeo 7 did back in the day?

This. Im not doubting lj and whether he deserves a pro ski but surely rather than go on a goose chase about that would it not make sense that he was just testing out the 12/13 stepup and they want to keep people stoked on the release of them by hiding the graphic.

You're talking about LJ, I'm talking about Tom.

And yes, the switch 2 on tip drops are sick. So was his 2 on pretzel misty/rodeo/wtv out.

Anyway, this is pointless to argue, I just find he hasn't taken his rail game in a more creative direction, just added more rotations to it if anything.

By all means disagree, I have no problems with that.

^the spinny rail game doesn't have far to go... and he hasn't really done anything with style either. granted, the meaning of style has changed from landing good.
