john18061806Honest opinion:
A solid combo of new wave and old wave style/tricks is what I like to see these days.

Chubz.Honest opinion:
It’s all the same, it’s all skiing.
There is no difference between old and new wave and because it’s all the same fucking thing
Young_pattyOpinion:
Thats one heckuva generalization. In terms of clothing, style, trick selection, equipment, and even edits new wave and old school are hella different, ski how you want-sure. Saying they're the same because "It's all skiing" is stupid- what about racing, telemarking, or touring? are they all the same because "iT's alL skIiNg"? or hell we should just clump cross country in there too cause I guess that's skiing too.
Opinion:
There are many differences in skiing with its many styles and disciplines. People who throw out the "hey guys it's all just skiing,chill" just don't want to form an opinion or are too afraid of upsetting people. Ski however you want, please, but saying it's all the same because you're sliding down the hill on skis is dumb.
Chubz.How’s that for forming an opinion
Young_pattynot great tbh, but hey at least you're actually voicing it. I get "it's all skiing" but dude you're just completely ignoring the differences of those eras because it doesn't fit with your "chill boi chubz just likes to ski maaaan" mindset. They're 100% different if you actually cared enough to look into the style,culture, and inspiration behind them. But whatever, if you prefer to ski in ignorance then I'm happy to support your decision to do so just as I would you'd do the same, ya know- As a fellow skier.
Chubz.Old wave was heavenly influenced by hip hop and snowboarding hence the gangster tall t heavy head style, it’s quite obvious how much new wave is influenced by skateboarding culture. I’m not denying that. I appreciate the culture and influence of each “form” of freeskiing but in my opinion I think labeling it is stupid. I think the words used to label it are dumb. We couldn’t have picked a better name than new wave? Who decided that was the term we used?
But it comes with everything. The transition period between the ogs, jf cusson, JP Auclair, Evan Raps, the Canadian Air Force etc..to the tall t wearing Tom Wallisch, Mike hornbeck, henrik etc..I’m sure that era was labeled as the new wave by the people accustomed to the old way of skiing. And I’m sure when everybody broke away from moguls and created freeskiing they were labeled as the new wave.
I appreciate it all, don’t get me wrong, I love what’s happening in skiing right now I just hate the discussion about it. I hate the endless new wave threads and how people don’t shut up about it. The reiteration of conversations every month about the same shit. It gets old. Idk maybe I’m just jaded. But the 15 year olds who all they know are new wave this and new wave that and make endless threads about the same thing just drive me crazy.
PhreeKandiI think I can speak for a lot of fifteen year olds, because I am one and a lot of kids I know feel similarly.
It's fun to try different styles of skiing. This season I tried the thrift new wave thing for a few random days. And I think I know why a bunch of kids are jumping 9n the new wave train
1. It's a way to loosen up your skiing, and not have perfect form. Getting loose with no poles swerving around is fun. I was taking my skiing less seriously and actually had a really good time.
2. Kids understand that they aren't gonna go anywhere in skiing from comps because the crazy stuff European and Chinese kids are doing. New wave is like an outlet from that where you can try your own stupid tricks, butter combos and swerves.
3. You can still do your tech tricks. 3 swap pretz 2 with a swerve on the landing still looks wavy and is an insane trick. It allows you to add on to tricks you currently know.
All this being said, if it's a pow day I'm gonna wear all the basic waterproof gear with goggles worn properly. Also, even if it's a park day, you dont yave to ski with the waviness. Switch up between styles to really see what you like to do. It's all fun and it's all sick. Also, skiing new wave doesn't require on3p or vishnu. Ride what you want and you feel comfy with.
Chubz.You can literally do everything you just said without labeling it was new wave.
Learning butters isn’t “swerving” it’s a trick. You don’t try and fit a certain style of skiing you just wear what you think is cool and do what feels right and your style comes naturally. If you into the day thinking about what you’re wearing and trying to fit in a style you’re doing everything wrong.

leprechaunsissyAre you a good skier?
Chubz.Oi eedont ya mind yee p’s n q’s when speakin to me lad

leprechaunsissyAre you a good skier?the “trying to fit in” ski costume you wear when you ski has zero effect on the execution of your tricks. When you start to develop a detailed idea of your style on skis that’s when you permitted to start match the aesthetics of your clothes to your style ... usually we can all judge someone and conclude in a heart beat if someone is good based on the $$$ value of all the gear but in reality it’s all being yourself. That’s nu wave

Any day of the week I’d rather watch someone perform stylish tricks
You gotta wrap your mind around the fact that a grabbed 540 done flawlessly is twice as sick as a hucked 7
leprechaunsissyCould it be wishful thinking..I really couldn’t say.
