Freeskiing and Aerials?

I just saw this video on Freeskiier:

What do you guys think? He seems to kill it in the park but you can definitely see his aerials style coming out. His view on how restrictive the competition scene was very much reflects my own reasons for not wanting to get into competitions when I was younger. It should be interesting to see how his style evolves as his focus shifts to the park.

It's very unique how he does a backflip and just a rodeo7 sorta thing out of nowhere, but I dont really like the whole mid air tuck whatever you want to call it, but I think that will fade away as he skis more park

I don't really want him to loose his aerialist style as he progresses in the park. Sure he'll learn more park tricks and style will change over time, but whats so cool about his style of riding is that he can do these aerials tricks and make them look good. He looks like he's having a great time, so more power to him

I think it's pretty cool it's something different added to our sport with his style and everything

He would have better air awareness than 99% of even pro park skiers. I just hope he does something with it

Hope he keeps that style too. We can get our fix of grabs from B&E

haha he only brings out that ariels style when he wants to, when he throws tricks and wants them to look steezy you can't even tell he used to be an ariels skier.

I agree, his style of aerials mixed with park is super sick. He blends the two really well and he has mad fun doing so. Hope he continues to kill it

I think he could be one of the coolest jump skiers of all time. He has the air skills and the technique from aerials so he could easily just do some super stylish and creative tricks.
