Thoughts? Definitely makes sense. I haven’t been a massive fan of his style but him being on wider skis has seemed to make it a bit more appealing IMO (for what I’m talking about peep his recent insta edit) those skis look good on him for sure tho

I just saw that, and I’m not a huge fan. I hate the “tricks” that guy does and it doesn’t seem fitting for ON3P to pick him up... but he’s sponsored and I’m not so what do I know hahaha

he deserves it. this guy gets too much hate for his daffy butters. it's kind of like broken slides or grabs that people have problems with - even if you don't like a trick, you have to respect the skill.

I’m stoked, personally. ON3Ps whole roster is a really sick diverse crew and Topher fits in perfectly. He’s got a lot of skill and gets way too much hate. Skiing is about expressing yourself without fear of being judged, and a lot of people want to judge him for doing too many daffy butters or trying too hard to be swervy. He’s a sick skier and he’s doing what he enjoys doing so why hate on that?

Whilst a lot of his gram content doesn’t do it for me, it’s hard to deny that he does sometimes put out stuff which is just steezy as hell. Not going to complain if there’s more opportunities for him to film edits with Meeks for example

I'm stoked, his style doesn't really fit any other ski better than ON3P

I’m not the biggest fan of some of his tricks, but what he’s doing proves that the freeskiing audience still values a fresh take. It’s rad that he’s finally gained enough leverage that he can get big(er) companies to back him. Dudes been doing this for a looooong time now, so no matter what I think of his style, talking shit on someone who’s worked hard for their vision just makes me look dumb af. If anything, he’s cracking the door open for the next generation of creative skiers, who don’t wanna kill themselves (literally and/or financially) doing triples. Let’s all just be aware enough to see that and start making some moves.

In other news, it’s official. Instagram has killed the video star...

I get a little annoyed when he looks at the camera when landing tricks

I love his style. If you don't pay attention to the daffy butters he still has steeze for days. Fight me

yeah, I feel like people who are against new wave skiing just want to see the same spins on/off rails and big corks over and over again
