JtmunnAndy Mahre few years back he would ski switch so much he just threw them away. And no he's not a park skier either.


Saw Andy today. He was using poles. Your statement is invalid.

Sorry dude only realised you were taking the piss after I had replied, should have read the whole thread before replying but i was sick of seeing people bashing poles because they think park skiing is the only proper way to ski (which its not)

still, my point is still solid

The way they ski is really, really fun. I like doing underbonks and hand drags and bunch bounces and all those little side hit tricks. They're fun as fuck to do, but to watch it is a different story. It's hard for me to explain. I guess it comes down to the fact that it is more fun to do than to watch(if that makes any sense). instaedits and normal edits are sick. But the movies are a little too much of a good thing for me.

Because it's the same shit over and over again. Oh look how wavey his arms are, look some over editing that Inspired played out in education of style, oh look there's another switch up to switch and a butter. I dunno I just feel as if everything they're doing I've seen before in skateboarding and surfing. It's not original one bit for me. If anything I feel like Clayton Villa was more original with his short film FIVE.

The Bunch didn't create a new style. The Bunch literally just copied snowboarding and skateboarding and a lil bit of surfing. Sure if all you watch is skiing then they're pretty unique but from a larger action sports perspective they're just another against the grain cliche group that in a few years will have another "unique" style or whatever when they're "style" becomes popular. If you like the Bunch, good for you I can see their appeal but to me they're just another group of people that are over rated.

Spread Eagle grabs! Sweet dub 7, now stop trying to suck yourself off in the air. Also straight leg grabs (prison grabs). Bend your #$%@ knees when you grab your tips. It's not impossible, just hard.

NSers seem to have a perfect idea of what comp skiing should be. It's annoying it is like all people want are hand drags and zero spins in big air while everyone where's a bucket had and cheap sunglasses. In an edit I'm all for that stuff but I don't really think there's room for it in competition. Like one jossi threw down all zero spins in the dew tour you knew he was joking while everyone probably thought he was sticking it to the man.

I don't like what the bunch does with their hands when they land, their skiing is good.

A lot of those guys have been doing weird creative shit long before the bunch. Naive kids like you who think that people who don't really care for the bunch are only into comp jocks are the absolute worst. I get bored watching stock dub 10s and 12s just like everyone else. I also get bored of watching bunch edits sometimes. Who knew one could do both..

brov1ill take this a step further, popular park style doesnt just make ya look cool it makes you a shitty skier. backseat and arms hanging at side is literally the definition of a gaper park skiers have just learned to make it look cool. and the i can ski anything you can i just like backseat better is wrong, no you can't.

part 2, the minute you step an inch outside the park with either tiny poles or no poles i think less of you, wtf happened to function over fashion, tiny poles dont do shit and you look like a jabroni without them

fin

I own small poles, as soon as it snows all that chowdah I'm not buying large stuff.

Yea... I'd try to explain how that happened but you'd never believe me. It's even better that they're all a little different.
