I wasn't really being that serious when I referenced that video. It's not something that you can force or learn quickly, it comes from practice and being comfortable throwing tricks and on skis in general. If you've only been skiing for a year, you shouldn't really be worrying about how your skiing looks. Just try to ski more

I was once like you op, you can't force style. Style comes from within and develops after you are extremely comfortable and confident doing tricks.

Baggy clothing helps a bit too

Adding onto this, if you try to force style cause you think you watched enough edits to have a basic idea of what to force yourself to do don't haha. Tried that and looked like a fucking idiot taking a shit trying to afterbang.

Don't look like your gonna take a shit trying to afterbang. Just let it happen.

Being mindful of your arms is a good place to start. Flailing your arms everywhere never looks good.
