World junior half pipe champion skiing for 3 months...
Saw this on APO's Facebook. So fucking depressing, like yeah good for him and its sick, but does he even like skiing? How can someone skiing for 3 months have any sort of style devloped? So for the olympics freeskiing will again, be portrayed as this robotic bullshit. Bring style back to the pipe and create a new system to judge so that the sexiest tweaked out flat 5 will beat out a ugly ass tucked dub. (just an example).
His 1260's look like they were done off his back on a trampoline all penciled out like that, but I kind of like the look of them all the same without the grab
i think the main thing worth considering is that both way dubs are super fucking hard in pipe and everyone knows that. but we all know that a good looking flat 5 with style is hard as well. but they are difficult in their own respects. so we should at least respect how hard a dub flip in pipe is.
He's probably got both way dub 12s by now, by the way. He's got the left side one and last I talked to him he had been working on the right side. Probably not consistant enough for him to be doing them in a contest just yet.
Seriously though, he's one of the nicest kids I've ever met. So humble.
I too had no style the first 3 months I skied. I think its only fair to wait and see what comes of him. Regardless of if people like that pipe run as it is... he obviously has so much potential.
