LonelyDoesn't woodsy ride pretty short skis?
EvanMeyerYour argument for henriks case isn’t valid in my opinion. he’s 5’6 and rides 180s always has rode skis way bigger than him and just because they’re rockered with a shorter effective edge is a strawman comparison to someone 6’1 riding 169s. And insult? Damn you’ve gone soft on us eheath.

threlvewoodsy is 5'7''
andri is 6'0''
i mean maybe, but at the same time it looked like andri was on sub-165 skis. i don't think it'd make THAT much of a difference, i think he would've thrown a triple 18 regardless if he was on 160cm or 175cm. these guys are like peak athletes for this sport and do this almost every day of the season, i don't think that weight enabled him to go so significantly larger than everyone else
eheathThe thing is, you keep arguing about something that just isn't true at all. First of all, henrik is not 5'6 and his skis are not "way bigger" than him, they are also rockered. Andri is like 6'2 and ride 177s, not 169s.
In the end, why does it matter if one skier uses a ski that is 3cm longer? Or 1lb hevier? It doesnt, these are the top .01% of park skiers, they are insanely talented and ski weight/length doesnt effect them, they ride whatever is comfortable. Henrik gets 1800s around just fine as does every other skier that tries them, its not about the skis dude...
LonelyInb4 xgames has a weigh in before big air, because it is height and weight restricted

eheathAndri rides 177 you guys are insane...
EvanMeyerAt the end of the day you’re right it really doesn’t fucking matter and I could care less about who wins xgames cause I’m going to ski some pow I suggest you go and do the same with your day.
danbrown177 is pretty damn short for a dude thats 6'2. i'm not saying he has to be riding something longer but you're ignorant if you think that's not making it a little easier

MortbrokemyskisGuy othis isnt a fashion contest. The graphics volkl puts on his skis shouldn't effect his score at xgames. His rails are ugly af but hes not that bad in the air and his landings arent that bad. Jossi wells looks sick and all but comps would be boring if everyone was all blacked out all the time and doing zeros off everything. Style matters when comparing similar tricks but quan doing a stylish dub 9 stallout isnt gonna beat a triple 12 stallout and shouldnt. I dont like andri and pay zero attention to him but he definitely laced up some crazy stuff in the big air and you sound like a bunch of whiny children complaining that he doesnt look cool enough to win.
TemetiusSoon y’all are gonna be mad not everyone has the same brand same model ski lmao. It makes almost more of a difference, but it’s all about preference, so who tf cares
Weirdo_PuppyAre we still talking about this?
