Literally 90% of pros have the worst trick selection for rails
no style at all
I swear they all lack any creativity- why the hell would you post an insta video of a line that includes a simple front 4 or back 4- do something more special jeez or atleast tweak it a bit
also
Park city sucks ass, never wanna watch a ski edit from there
and any edits that dont have the sound of the skis hitting the rails automatically takes an L in my book
-The term "Big Mountain." Just because you ski a 16'000ft Mountain in Colorado doesn't mean you're a "Big Mountain Skier."
-Free Touring and Ski Touring are the exact same.
-Ian McIntosh.
I agree, also if your park happen to have rails that do not slide really well, you will eventually end up hooking the rail with your ski and end up crushing your collarbone on the rail
the bunch/vishnu/new wave/etc edits are cool and the guys are no doubt talented, but the edits they put out bore me within the first 30 seconds a majority of the time
being social is fine, but some days you just want to soul shred and be left alone.
do people get annoyed when people are on the chair with both earbuds in and don't really wanna talk? nothing wrong with being social, but some of us just want to ski with ourselves and be left alone. I get irked when people try to get your attention on the chair when you're trying to zone out. I had a dude grab my arm once and get all pissy cuz I didn't talk to him.
I didn’t like eat the guts. It’s good skiing and all but I hate fisheye lenses and I dislike the editing style that makes everything seem “dirty” if that makes sense.
Beginner skiing lessons are a waste of money, your friends can show you how to put a boot on, put your weight onto the front of the skis and snowplough in about 30 minutes, beginner ski lessons sliding around the flat with one ski on is a waste of time and money

I don't like daffy butters or @Tophaloaf simply because the trick is ridiculously easy (learnt it in about 10 mins) and I find the hype surounding it as a godly trick kinda annoying.
Might just be me but I don't get how he has such a big following for spamming easy as shit tricks like daffy butters or jumping over box and people will call it insane or "revolutionary"

So you don't like HIM because he does easy tricks, or you dont like the fact that people over hype him?
If people jizz over you for doing something even though its not that great, you'd be dumb not to milk that shit IMO

nah I don't have anything against HIM as a person I'm sure he's probably a cool dude, I just dont get how people ridiculously over hype everything he does. Like look at this:
All he does are a couple jumps over a few boxes, a few easy butters and a daffy and people are impressed. And yes I know it would make sense for him to milk the shit out of it I just don't find it entertaining or cool like the majority.

Yup totally on the same page as you! I think part of what it is it that his clips look cool to just regular people who arent skiers or ski fanatics so he probably gained a lot of momentum like that. Your average person sees a misty 7 and goes, what trick was that? But see his simple stuff and are like "oh yaaa wow thats cool". Just a theory, idk man.

Aight cool that we're on the same page but yeah idk your theory is probably correct, his vids just cater to non skiers. When I see an edit by him my first reaction is oh I could do that, but when a see a trick like a nollie 4 on pretz 2 by Keegan or whatever I'll just gaze in awe at the sight of such a banger haha.
But that's just my take on it, maybe I just don't see the "new wave" vision of the trendy insta-skiers but I just don't get it lol.

Yea man, maybe its not a question of not "seeing it" but seeing past it lol. Some people have insta followers, others have medals and real ski movies
Ive been hidding this one cause selfprotection but whatever..
Cant fucking undertand why the obsession with rails (like all of them). Id rather see a full jumps clips that fucking garbage full rail one doing 2 ins ,switchups and shit. Im getting banned from NS for this....
2 on continuing 2 is a terrible looking trick even when performed perfectly with mad style. Also think Daniel Hanka is way over hyped and im not a fan of his quadruple shifty shit

I like skiing alone. The lift is like an airplane, it's pretty easy to tell when people don't want to be bothered and that's just what you do, don't bother them.
Man IMO i think it's just all about what you love to see and what your goals are in the perspective of the sport, some just want to do bigger spins and beat records like others want to invent a new grab, a new way to do a trick, the sport is evolving dude! If you dont love tech park skierz, dont watch em, i dunno thats the way i see it

Agreed on the 2 continuing 2, I think it looks good on a longer rail but it's definitely not a rail trick that requires a whole lot of tech skill. It's played as hell.
Chubz.Fr can’t stand how his skiing looks
And for Hanka, I used to not dig his style but it's grown on me over the last year and I love it now. It's just a lot different from most styles out there and that's probably from the fruit booter in him. As a result of that he lands his tricks pretty damn clean. In my eyes style is how well someone can control their skis and then how casual they can make it look.
I'm a really big fan of the high nugget.
Fuck instagram edits. Fuck them. I know I'm a hypocrite here because I've made some this season but I'm done. It's more fun to make a full edit and full edits are more fun to watch. Skiing looks better on a screen larger than your finger anyways.
People that shit on you for having a popular trendy ski. I ski on the Magnus not to be trendy or because Magnus is my favorite skier (he is pretty sick) but simply because I love how the ski rides.
