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?

candide thovex
your dad (who ive had sex with)


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


Candide Thovex is not the best example as the 5.0 (his daily driver) is flat camber lol. That being said I agree with your point, other than Candide I can't think of any non comp pro who doesn't ride a double rocker cambered ski

Ya but that's such a specific niche to then say "show me a good skier who rides cambered skis" bc a bit of camber is what's up for most skis out there, unless your only plan for the day is to avoid using your edges while turning and doing as many switch ups as you can
FruitBootProi think he meant full camber skis i.e. comp park skis as opposed to heavily rockered skis like Magnuses or Vishnus

Bought the skis flat brand new. Bindings got sourced from a local shop for real cheap.

Edit: meant to qoute the response to my post which I accidently qouted.
