it was weird seeing him land forward in pow, those 2.5 times he did in that edit. Ridiculous.

People underrate him too much since he doesnt have a sense of style. He does its called gnar. Seriously hauling ass switch on pow skis, landing switch in deep deep pow is so hard. The backcountry is his park and he throws banger segments.

I know! Hes legit but his segments seem to be the same year in and out but hes got so much skill its nutz. Doing 5s and landing in piw if 40fters is super legit. Just not the same shot iver and over again

Charlie is awsome and I have nothing but respect for him even though he hasn´t got any steeze. But I have to agree with the fact that his segments all seem the same

I will give him credit for taking horrible ski technique, shitty style in the air, and somehow making it work.

Going back to his shots in Journal, he's unreal. He wasn't even sponsored (by a ski company anyway) at the time. Crazy as fuck. Whether you like his style or not, gotta respect him if not for his skiing (which you should) for his attitude and skiing comes first mentality.

Jesus it's like there are magnets forcing his feet apart... so gross.

Agreed shit is big but it's disgusting to watch... just waiting for him to blow a knee ever hit.

Very few people go as big as he does in the BC and NO ONE goes as big as he does while landing switch. Simple as that.

Charley is dope, but Sean Decker takes it for sickest pow ripping with the best style.

Ager is gnarly as hell, and definitely goes big. But I just like skiers with cleaner style.
