I don't know how he does it but he lands switch of of everything, pretty much his whole segment in WE was landing switch and i personaly thought i was pretty cool.

What do you guys think?

I think that next time you make a thread you should at the very least spellcheck the title.

his landings in WE were better but in movies prior to that he looked like a cat out of a cannon at all times and barely hanging on to the landings as he rode away.

while there is some truth to this...literally nobody else lands stuff that big in snow that deep switch, so until they do it's hard to criticize. I personally love his style but i can see why people wouldn't but in the pow he's taking his little aspect of skiing to a new level.

I challenge your statement with Tim Durtschi. But yeah hardly anyone lands as much big stuff in powder so it is impressive. just the way Ager does it and how he looks in the air scares me sometimes.

word dog. so why dont i see edits/movie segments of you stomping massive shit switch in pow also?

I would agree with you if this was about landing switch on hard pack but pow is a completely different story.

Give it a shot in waist deep pow off even a 5-7ft cliff this winter when you get a chance and try and ski away switch without reverting right away. not so easy.

Chaley is a beast and I absolutely dig his style. He and Nick McNutt (who is now on surface but used to ride hellbents also) are pretty the ones who inspired me to get hellbents and start skiing switch in pow as much as possible.

I''m just being a smartass because you spell check wouldn't have helped you out in that situation because you did spell "kind" correctly

I kinda like that actually. I always think there's no way he can that shit switch and somehow he fuckin rides away. He also goes down really hard and gets back up and goes for it again.

He is a true ski bum and really loves the lifestyle of the sport.



say what you want about his landings or style his segments always have me on the edge of my seat and to me he's fuckin inspiring.

It kind of sucks that all Poorboyz show him doing is mini lines to switch.

I love the fact that alot of his tricks he throws are done without even doing a straight air first. In Edias his first hit on a huge step down is a Blunt 9. Friggin crazy. Charley is the fucking man, no more needs to be said.
