I feel you. I always feel that my arms are jumping around or making me look unbalanced (usually because I am). I honestly think it just takes mad repetition until you can literally hit rails in your sleep, and at that point you will be so comfortable that your arms wont fidget around to keep you balanced.
It totally looks good anyways, but I know what you mean—you're trying to get that perfect style and it's probably gonna take a lot of time.
You're upset because you're skiing with a natural style?
This is the problem with the Bunch. Impressionable idiots like OP see they're skiing exactly the same with their forced, shitty "style" and then they feel they're doing something wrong if their arms are not flailing around like a jackass.
Grow the fuck up. Developing your own style looks much better than trying to imitate every other scarf and track pant wearing, communist douche.

I get what ur saying but this man rlly just called magnus one of the nicest positive skiers a douche.
You should be holding poles, that is what you should be doing.
In all seriousness you look fine, just ski what feels natural. Style comes from having technical ability to the point you dont have extra movements etc you dont need. If you try to force it thats what makes you look like a goon.
skiermanHow the fuck are you able to fit so much wrong information in a single post?
Mahre and Fujas did winter X slopestyle on Hellbents with no poles circa 2006-ish. They did not qualify for finals and everyone cried scandal. Fujas had his hands in his jacket pockets for most of the run.

you can look up the footage if you want
or you can drink bleach and die shithead
There's no footage of the runs. The only footage that exists is them ripping PC park with their hands in their pockets on Hellbents, you god damned fucking retard.

Sorry you didn't see it happen at winter x too, I guess you had to be there :-) Also no one thinks you're cool for finding a typo.
Gargle my balls shit for brains.

jcaIf you somehow had footage of their runs, you'd be an NS hero
Yah, skierman was right, they did it at X and there are stills around, but the footage I was thinking of was them doing the same thing on a different day.
There was a plus side to his episode of memory-police shitposting though: NS with skierman blocked is actually a really nice experience, everyone should try it.
Bent elbows usually make tricks look kinda weird. Try locking your elbows and see if that does anything for you. Bending knees always helps with control and style too
