I just read the thread about Jon Brogans edit and hella people were saying ahh these were the days when skiing was unique and fresh now everyone is just copying each other. I wanted to ask who you guys thought the originals were with the style who everyone is copying off of?
My crude list would be
-Jon Brogan
-Tom Wallisch
-Andy Parry
-Jon Olsson
-Matt Walker
-Clayton Vila
-B&E
-Nick Martini
-Mickael Deschaneux
-Ahmet Dadali
-Mike Hornbeck

Everytime I see a post by you I read it in a Milhouse voice and that was by far one of the funniest for some reason.

I meant "trying to" make their skiing look like Tom or Henriks not just dressing like them, hahaha, I think it's more like kids trying to afterbang, ride low like Henrik and copy how they ski. Whatever though, let any one do what they want, it's freeskiing after all. hahaha

You also got to remember that "back in the day" skiing was just being created and nothing had been done yet so new tricks and style was constantly being created and now in days it feels like it's all been done so thats y people seem as if they're copying the pros and taking their styles but everyone eventually does make they're own type of style its just being influenced by the pros like how skiing has been influenced by skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding etc.

tired of all the hate on here! skiing is an art, each rider has the right to interpret how a trick can be done by creating their own flavor. No two are the same. Immitation is the greatest form of flattery. To include someones style in your riding is not copycat. its giving credit where its due, its showing the world who inspires you. Turn down the negativity and turn up the positivity!!! PEACE!!!

You're stupid. Just because he doesn't wear a dress while skiing that doesn't mean he doesn't have style.

tanner, mcD, heed, keefer all changed the sport by introducing dramatically new styles, but everyone skis different so you could argue that everyone changed skiing

Do any of you guys actually even ski? Or do you just watch edits and complain all day?

Im not 100% sure but I believe it was actually Lupus which can be a lot more difficult to deal with/debilitating than Crohn's. From what I hear Crichton is doing really well these days... that family has a ton of talent.

you are the greatest "over generalizer" i've ever seen. no one can be put into categories like this. despite subtle similarities, all these people have unique style and no one is copying anyone. they're all just skiing. once again, influenced by does not = copying.

Dont be attackin' I may have made some Skip bayless generalizations, but u must admitt some skiiers are heavily influenced to the point that I cant even tell if I am watching Sig Tveit or Henrik Harlaut

sig and henriks skiing is very distinguishable from each other. I'm sure that if sig were wearing a different style of clothing or vice versa you wouldn't feel the same way

That might have been the coolest edit I have seen in weeks. It was so old but good.
