Japan off of a drop - Cool or No?

I recently had somebody *cough cough* (my older brother) tell me that Japan’s don’t look good off of a drop. What do you think?

I'm not gonna lie, I was confused as fuck by the thread title. Could be a lack of sleep. I'm also chugging drinks waiting on somebody to buy some gear before I go to bed.

I'm glad you had a picture. I dig it. I would also say in general, if it feels good send it, at least in terms of skiing.

I think they look better doing a trick than a straight air, while safety and mute look just as good doing a straight air as a trick. I probably wouldn't do a straight air japan but you do whatever feels good to you

To each his own. But a Japan off a cliff with no flip almost looks like you're off balance and trying to save it or something. A dope pic tho. Safetys and bluunts

Japans are cool I don't care what anyone says. I like to kick them out to the side like I'm doing kung fu
