Try to perceive more of the trick than you actually do, and if you don't it can't hurt not to. That's how I got my personal style down.

No style +skinny = gayper

No style +baggy= thug

Bigger clothes hide the imperfections to a cerrain point. And you wont look like a pussy

When I'm controlled doing a trick, the style comes naturally. If you have your tricks on lock, they will automatically look a whole lot better.

play gucci mane so loud that everybody in the park can hear your head phones. approach the feature with confidence, and think about doing the trick smoothly. when you land make sure you have healthy afterbang.

Keep practicing your tricks, style comes with practice. For sure a trick is gonna look ugly the first time you do it.

So much hate for the dude around here. I dig his style, there is something to be said for being that smooth. He gets respect in my book, being able to land every trick in his bag clean is def. something to be proud of. He also doesn't look like a rollerblader circa 1998, the xxxxxl bandwagon is lame if you ask me.

just saying, if you're going for tight+flannel shit, you gotta have a dam good style to look good.
If you're going with the baggy hug shit, then just a bit of laying back and ditching the poles will do the trick xD

Baggy clothes basically hides lack of good style.

But just try to do your "sick tricks" with different grabs, landing them cleaner, or with thug afterbang, whatever you prefer seeing yourself. Moving your arms/hands during tricks is a pretty big style killer btw.

Nobody should define your style. buy the stuff that you think looks the dopest, and ski the way you think feels/looks the dopest, but for you, not for the people watching. And there's literally hundreds of different styles from pros out there to get inspiration.

Absolutely stomp every trick you do. Imitate keegan kilbride.

If you are going no poles, then make sure you have some nice limp /puppy hands/versace wrists going on. Keep your armterbang natural, not forced. Ski fast.

I would say xxxxxxxl but thats not the case nowadays. Now you gotta wear tight pants (must be tight enough to cut off circulation), and a flannel or a coaches jacket. So hesh brah!

dont flail your arms around

plz dont tuck your snow pants into your boots

Visualize the trick

Spend some time outside of the park just working on skiing, skiing switch(looking over both shoulders) and alternating between them while maintaining edge control and keeping your upper body straight up.

A little bit of time spent in the early season on actually skiing with good technique will help to clean up any sloppiness quite a bit. If you're uncomfortable it shows in your style, you'll be more comfortable in the park if you can ski the rest of the mountain switch.

make sure your tricks are on LOCK. i mean hot lap as fast as you can, get as many laps as you can and just have fun doing the tricks you already know how to do. every time you do the trick you get better, adding different tweaks and such even if you don't know it. before you know it, you will be a 420 steez style god

Step 1: Don't flail.
Step 2: Don't flail.
Step 3: Don't flail.
Step 4: All motions must be slow and conducted from the start of your takeoff until the moment you land.
Step 5: See Step 4 and multiply by 1,000
Step 6: Style is in your soul. once completing step 1-5 just start doing what feels good to you. Style is inside, not outside. Not everyone will like your style, but it'll be yours.
