Unpopular opinion: street skiing

If I hear a kid w a USSA helmet in the rope tow park say “zootspace” I’m burning all my skis and becoming a full time biker.

Jemsall street looks like asshole if it’s filmed on dslr unless it’s nick schoess

sindreplassenWhy?

Chrischi69I think its just a pain in the ass to do non rail stuff like u gotta build a huge jump for like 5 shots

eheathJesus you kids are so fucking toxic these days, y'all should be stoked you can even watch people ski in videos.

SuspiciousFishOne of the problems is that they dont sell Banshee Bungees anymore. Its hard to get and maintain a winch to get enough speed for getting air in street parts.

KilaTsunamiSo make your own video with minimal rails, and just big air stuff just the way that you want it and contribute, instead of just bitching about other peoples passion projects

eheathFilming urban wasnt an issue before bungies, just sayin

keagan.karstensWhen people don’t like what happens in a marvel movie they shouldn’t state their opinion on what they think should’ve happened. Instead they should go out and film a whole marvel movie for themselves

KilaTsunamiHow are low budget ski files and a billion dollar fart of a Hollywood production comparable? I’m saying he should try n contribute first instead of complaining. Lol I’m starting to think half ya’ll don’t actually shred

doubleblackjackIts hard to contribute when pennsylvania gets like 10 inches of snow every year. Believe me, i would be out there filming street stuff if i could

SuspiciousFishSure, but you had to build all sorts of crazy ramps and it was much harder to get enough speed to jump over stuff without a winch.

weastcoatare you pushing for jump clips in the streets or just more non traditional spots that aren’t rails but necessarily Aren’t jumps either, such as roof slides, ledges, etc.

weastcoatRails are prolly way safer, easier to do (for more than one reason), and more accessible if that makes sense. Like you don’t need a winch to hit a rail but you more often than not need a winch to Huck a blunt 5 somewhere in the streets.


are you pushing for jump clips in the streets or just more non traditional spots that aren’t rails but necessarily Aren’t jumps either, such as roof slides, ledges, etc.

Christian_BaleOP wants backcountry booters in the streets

doubleblackjackWhen tf did i say that

Christian_BaleI know u didn't I was making a joke lol

doubleblackjackI’m pushing for jumps and more non-traditional spots in the streets like you said. Definitely not pushing for backcountry booters like @Christian_Bale says. That can stay in the backcountry.

i just want to see more air shit in the streets. Drops, roofs, built lips, whatever. I just don’t need edits entirely made of handrails and concrete ledges.

the whole speed and winch thing is pretty tricky though. I had never thought about that before

doubleblackjackHaha i got all serious and that went right over my head lol

weastcoatValid opinion. While I don’t have any issue with rails in edits I do think edits are a lot sicker when the spot selection gets more and more unique like you said.


cut OP some slack, I think street edits are more interesting the more interesting the spots are. I love street rails but there’s definitely a good balance that needs to be struck.


go watch STAND I think you’ll enjoy it, lots of cool spots in there.

SlitherySnakeYAKTV had a really good balance i think. definitely more rail segments but some of the pow shots and big air went harddddddd

doubleblackjackAyo so I’ve been watching a bunch of street edits as they come out lately, and no doubt all of it’s impressive, but i feel like there could be less rail stuff.

dont get me wrong, rails are rad, but some big hucks and air tricks would be pretty dope in those edits too. I just feel like the entire edits are rails, you know?

why cant more be like zootspace and have a good balance of air and rail tricks?

DominatorJacquesEveryone's a critic.
Go make some videos!

doubleblackjackPlanning to this winter. Most likely resort tele stuff but if pennsylvania gets decent snow for once I’ll hit the streets for sure
