What are some things that instantly can kill style?

Spinning a lot all the time
short skis
gloves instead of mittens
overly repeated tricks



Whatchu guys think?

If you dress confident, you ride confident..

Stay in control.. that is the essence of style


1.stay in control by keeping your hands in front and in an attack position. the moment they go behind you, you're out of control...

2. ski like you only have your boots on. not too far forward or backward

I’ve seen very few hats under helmets that I’ve actually liked but to each their own

Way*MoYeah, heaven forbid I wear my helmet and goggles how they were designed to function. Especially so my helmet might sit properly on my head.

Goggles under helmet is the dumbest think ever. Your strap impedes the proper fit of your helmet. You can’t remove or lift your goggles to get airflow easily. You look like a toddler who dressed himself for the first time and doesn’t know which clothes go on first.

What a waste of a 420th post I mean come on really?

weastcoastalso forgot to add and others did Already but if you land/ride backseat all the time you may be a legit shitty skier who happens to know how to slide a rail. Shit looks so horrible. That’s my biggest pet peeve.

Landing backseat is acceptable if u go to flat or send too hard so that u backslap

So many people pizza off every jump, yet wonder why they flail any time they leave the ground.

Also buying boots online that you haven't tried on will certainly impede style.

Time and a place for all. They definitely still have a role to play. Don't hate on camber. But yeah ur right not many people are gonna be riding them as daily drivers since they're not as versatile.

seriously tho almost all freeride and park skis are combination camber and rocker these days. Very very few are full rocker or flat with rocker so your original claim is declaring war on literally 90% of skiers haha

Sounds like somebody doesn't know how to bust a turn well enough to like camber. If you're riding full rocker or flat skis on hard pack the odds are low you're arcin phatty turns and not just swooshing your tips back and forth in and eternal speed check
270on420outIm gonna trigger the NS boomers with this one but fuck it. If youre still riding cambered skis in 2020 you probably have shitty style.

There's hella styles out there now. New wave, OG, grunge/hesh etc. I def don't appreciate all these varying styles but ultimately they are for the most part doing what they like and i respect that. For me its all about attitude. You can be one hot rider but be a pretentious asshole and that just fuckin kills it. Also, people with no confidence and complain about everything.

If youre out there gettin the homies stoked and learning to slide your first rail or stomping a dub with a new grab youre above that ass hole talkin shit at the bar or on the lift or in the park.

Reverting after landing sw on a trick is a huge one.

Ugly grabs

People who try to force style too much usually have bad style

If youve ever un-ironically done a caribou onto a rail because you thought its a dope trick there is a 98% chance you don't have style

I’m not saying if you have nice gear you are a bad skier I’m talking about those guys that have like 500$ jackets and powder skis but never leave the blue runs

As you get more balance and become more comfortable on bigger features, your hands will flail less. Poles also help. Try thinking about keeping your hands tighter to your body/waist.
