for some reason there’s a trend going around where people hit enormous shifty’s off side hits. I don’t know how to feel. If it’s done right it can look pretty sick imo but what do y’all think?
I think it's pretty gangster. It's not only a solid way to avoid a complete straight air but also a way to see how a side hit kicks and how much speed you need to add/take off. They also look pretty sick when theyre done super huge.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like throwing a grab or shifty with a large straight air is easier than just keeping your skis straight. It might have something to do with keeping your mind occupied and not fixating on the knuckle or a tree or something which will get you off balance. As an example look at A Hall here. his arms stop flailing as much once he grabs. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10154887233367818

Same. Unless I have already told my self in my head that off this next one I'm doing a Japan etc my body pretty much just does a safety out of habit.
