The embed button on the video.

And I mean I guess he's skiing like BnE but that's just because the three of them have really good style. You could also say he's skiing like Talkington or Lars Tynes and you wouldn't be too far off either.

wtf is "armada style"? he doesnt really ski much like b and e at all, it's just a dope aggressive and clean style. i dig it much more than b and e.

I havent noticed him wearing that baggy of clothes, and thugish vibe of the video. Maybe its just me.

Torin is probably one of the most underrated skiers out there. He has a deep trick bag and does them all with great style. He also seems like an honestly stoked dude. Fuck all of you.

I've actually considered OP's point before, I think Torin's just become more confident with his tricks and has expanded more (publicly) from the pipe scene where we first met him. He undoubtedly has gone from a slim fitted sponsor magnet to a helmet shed flow rider much like a surprising majority of freeskiiers in general

Check out Torin's edit he did with Target, if I remember correctly. It's real dope.

His style and skiing is like a mix of John Ware and Tom Wallsich. Even his last name is a mixture of the two (wallace). I dig it.

Torin is so sick. Such good style in the pipe and park. Huge bag of tricks. Great personality with his head on his shoulders proper. Underrated though, absolutely not. Watch X, he's anything but underrated.

If we are referring to torin listening to Rozay, Snoop, and OF while still killing it, then yes, he is a thug.

This kid skis like a veteran and is so damn young, his style gets better every year I think. And hopefully he goes to THREE olympics? like a bohss.

I dont think a 17 year old has had style and tech like this. Not an age claim, just really impressive as a personal accomplishment. Kid is one of the best in the game.

Being on Level 1 crew, Armada and the US olympic team is pretty balling.

Definitely no comparison to Wallisch necessary here.

in my opinion hes only 'thug' outside of competition if you watch his x games pipe runs hes going hard then if you watch edits of him and aidan hes steezy as hell i honestly do the same thing most of the time. but hes always worn baggy stuff stuff its just each year he gets more sag in his gear

That video was sick, Torin has an amazing style, I think we should all give Aidan Sheahan a round of applause to though, he kicks some serious ass.
