I think people who are tall have awkward style up until a certain age. I'm 6'1" and i hate my style, it doesn't feel awkward, but when i watch footage it is awkward. However, once tall people reach a certain age (ive thought somewhere between 17-20) they're muscles start to really come in and their style becomes flawless.

I guess you what covers for the awkwardness of being tall is having a super swave stance

the most annoying part of being tall is trying to find a coat that is long enough

This all the way, then the problem is I am tall and skinny. So coats are too wide. Guess thats why the pullover is the way to go.

How tall would you say Will Wesson is? 6'3"ish? Height makes no difference.

6' 3 and my footage looks so akward.. It feels bad man.jpg I'm super skinny too, so that makes it way worse. Like, I can do more tricks than 90% of the people at my home hill, but idk I don't feel steezy.

bobby brown, nick martini, liam downey, and will wesson are all 6'2 or more. that is all you need to know in order to understand that tall people can have plenty of style

[irony]5'3 suckaz and I'm so $teeeezy dawg$ haha...[/irony] no honestly, I also often thought that tall people look like, less compact, though if your good at skiing style will come... I suck pretty much yet there are some tricks I know I can make look good. If you're really shure on technique then you can go to style... smhw, dunno if people will understand this haha

6' 3" with one more major growth spurt. I've been between 6' and 6' 3" for a for a while so my style has improved but I'm probably going to look a little akward next season.
