Which is better? Imo anything under a 9 is always going to look better carved.

Definitely carved. Bonus points for opp carve. Too bad when it's slushy out carving slows you down so much

I feel like no one should, but all of the freestyle team kids at my locals exclusively do straight penciled 540s and 720s. I don't know if they just like the way they look or if they just can't carve.

Aerialists because if they carve they probably end up paralyzed

They chill until you accidentally catch your edge on the lip on a trick you’ve done a million times and take the deck of the knuckle to yo dome

Haha totally on accident, perhaps I should quit skiing and focus on poetry if I'm that natural.
