Tracksuits, wavy arms and glasses? What is this nonsense?! Bring back Evan Raps FFS. At least he could ski without looking like a monkey with tourettes.
OMG finally some one says it.. Seriously all these dudes can't ski to save their lives and every single person dick rides them .. Adam Delorme .. Please come back and save park skiing.. TWall and Jossi have good ski style but these bunch guys and all the arm movement trying so hard to be "edgy" gtfoh.. Bring back gorilla Steeze .. For the record Evan raps was one of the most stylish skiers ever same with Julien and Mik d.. Even Pollard and Pep idea was so much better than any of these Shiity unstylish edits these people are dropping with the fucking gay tight pants and fucking hipster harts and the hands flying around ... Oh it's fun to ski like that.. Pfff none of you can ski big mountain to save your lives .. Hack skiing with no technique go do some race drills and learn to use your edges.. You can call me salty all you want but it's the truth it's ugly as fuck skiing .. With not even an ounce of good technique attached to it..

u seem very salty my friend…it's a new and different style of skiing. for someone who frequents 'newschoolers' u sure seem pretty against new styles of skiing.
also, not that it matters but ---- i grew up racing, no problems shredding bc/big mtn, and I still love pole-less bunch swerves. fuck me right?

It's not a new style of skiing .. It's called a gaper style of skiing .. Ahmet had dope style and skis with no poles .. So did pep and Andy Mahre .. It's not about poles or no poles .. It's about good skiing and good technique and shit try hard skiing with no technique .. Most of the new hip hop these days is shit.. Is it good casue it's new no it's shit cause its shit .. Bar a few exceptions (like Jay Electronica and kendrick) there is fact and fiction in life .. Just cause something is new and wanna be edgy doesn't make it good.. And every one is dick riding very hard and they really have no idea what gold skiing is.. Watch jossi wells ski .. That's good skiing .. Watch McRae Williams ski the guy is amazing and tech as fuck.. Watch Adam Delorme , pollard or the goat Candide ski that's amazing , stylish and good technique .. Good skiing is good skiing .. This hipster shit makes skiing look really bad .. And it's all fucking try hard it's rediculous yet every single one of you will go " your an idiot it's progressive ..

I've been on this website since 2001 I've skied and still ski on a very high level skiing is going backwards with this bad technique and arms everywhere hack style .. It's bad skiing end of story .. You can argue as much as you want back ..most of you have no idea what your talking about .. If the old stewards of freestyle saw these kids ski they would laugh their asses off..

And ski about at least 10!seasons for more than 150 days plus each winter and then maybe maybe you will have a little bit of an idea about what good skiing is.

The most ironic part to this post is that Delorme was the original arm swinger. Now, it wasn't to the degree guys are doing it today, but he was swinging arms while the everyone else was afterbanging away. It's all good though, different styles in skiing is awesome

Your level of butt hurt is through the roof lol if ur such a dope skier why are u concerned with how other people do it?? just keep progressing yourself n maybe worry a lil less about others

I'm not gonna disagree with you on the subjective aesthetics of skiing. But this last part makes me chuckle. I'm willing to bet I have 2-3x the years and experience on ya. Styles come and go. The guys you cite as the "old stewards" were mocked by the guys before them. And the "new" guys you're complaining about will be the standard that the next style gets judged against.

Whats the big deal anyway, its not like there isn't plenty of banger edits and footy with your preferred style and outerwear. Embrace the new shit man, new styles brings new moves and killer skiers. All this butter shit is blowing my mind, its crazy
I like The Bunch and their style and I'll watch their edits but all the space just filled with someone doing 100 reverts while waving their arms gets boring. Same goes for doing those 90° tail butters over and over.
Skiing is going to be fine. There's plenty of skiers out there who are still crushing it without the bunch style (burrlapz, big picture, young guns in pc, always sunny at Alta boys, etc). I don't get the arguement that all of skiing is going down the shitter just because the bunch are popular and going in a different direction that everyone else. Different strokes for different folks but it's not like skiing as a whole is dying because the bunch don't have "proper technique"

You are not really wrong but, as usual, spreading your message by being an asshole. I probably come close to your requirements are for being able to determine what "good skiing" is and there is no way I would have gotten there it had I not fallen in love with skiing by sliding 10 foot rails at my shitty home resort first. These days it seems like kids ski park and then get interested in the rest of the sport. Don't hate them because they have not yet had life expanding experiences like blasting a big mountain line or skiing deep pow that can cultivate an appreciation for using more of their edges. I think if you toned your vitriol down at little (or maybe a lot, haha) you might find that people would be more receptive to your opinion.

Really? it just seems like a bunch of people having fun on skis. If youre so worried about proper skiing technique, go buy some carving skis and join PSIA. Then you can spread your message of proper edge technique and arm form to people who care

Dude ive got some PSIA certs in freestyle and they arent even as bad as OP and ozzywong. We just want to have fun helping people learn new tricks. Everybody has a different style of doing tricks and its cool to try and learn other's style

Im sorry, I shouldnt have made that a knock on PSIA. It is important to have a structured format to teach skiing. Not only is it useful to be able to break down technique but it also is a huge resource to allow people to progress faster. The dark side of it can be that it creates a culture where there is a right and wrong way to ski. That is the only thing I was trying to reference in Ozzys post. Sure some of the new skiers with this much different style might not do that well out side of park or jib style skiing but to knock them and say that that style doesnt have a place in skiing is wack. And sure it comes down to a matter of opinion which I respect. And opinions are like assholes, everybody has them. Some are just way shittier than others.

Its all good man. I completely understand where you are coming from with PSIA. Its mostly a bunch of older guys who want to have people ski the most technical way possible and they bring on this vibe of elitism which turns a lot of people away. The younger guys in PSIA are actually pretty chill and the vibe is starting to change
are you not allowed to have your own style? People like the bunch shred so hard and just choose to look like that if they want. They have so much skill too. worry about yourself not others
I don't really care, but when the bunch post's a video on Instagram of them buttering on a groomer it kills me... it's not "style" its what anyone who has skied longer than 5 years can do on soft skis.

Diversity is only going to help skiing. Skiing would have gotten stale as fuck if people still only skied park like how you are describing. Also, the bunch riders have tons of fans so there is a demand for this skiing whether you like it or not. So obviously they have a place in skiing. Think of different ski styles like different genres of music. Let's say you didn't like country music. You wouldn't say it doesn't have a place in music since there is a demand that needs to be filled for a certain people and the people that don't like it can just ignore it.

Agree with this. Not a fan, but it makes freeskiing what it is! It's an expression. A passion. The more relatable skiing is to get more kids into the sport, the better. All styles are good styles
