One Switch Up is Tasteful

Title says it all, can we stop with the 5 swaps on a rail? I’ve found in my studies that one swap is sufficient in 99% of unsponsored cases. We’re greasin a pole, not composing some lame ass balance beam routine.

This does not apply to presses or surface swaps on handrails for some reason. Every test I ran came back inconclusive or straight up negative. If anyone can find that double nose press b dog did on the quad kink this year please post.

Farmville420Marketing is whatever, hes just tryna sell them. Cool marketing doesn't always mean a good product or a good company lol

-stacked as shit team
-amazing skis
-gives a street skier a pro model

Idk what I'm missing but the company does everything else a good ski company would lol

The skis are like $500 if you buy the "blemished" ones lol. I promise you the marketing will mean nothing the day you actually ride them lol


Fair enough. I’m probably just biased the other direction because I hate their graphics and don’t fw a single rider they sponsor (style-wise). That’s how the Gilson thing comes to mind. Plus it’s sus how they just go around on random people’s grams’ and comment shit for attention or whatever, like proteus snow would do back in the day lmao.


Their skis seem decent tho. Never ridden a pair but I bet they’re fun, they have a good rocker shape going for their all-play or vacation or whatever their park skis are.


it could be the most fun ski in the world but if I don’t fw who’s making the ski, then I won’t ride it. Idk I’m super weird about that shit.
#1 reason I don’t ride jetskis lmao.

Playing devils advocate in regards to this thread but I agree, illusive doesn’t really look good but man they’re fun to whip out every once in a while. Or every couple laps. Whatever you choose.

Anyone remember what year it was that level 1 put a hard cap on the number of switch ups allowed in super unknown entries? Like 2010ish I think. It was definitely before they had the finals as a park event and when they just picked a winner and brought them to a park shoot in the spring for the movie.

Not an exception at all he just has really clean style. Which is why everyone in this thread is retarded, there's no such thing as a whack trick, just whack execution. And most of the kids everyone hates on are just trying fucked tricks that took them a shit ton of tries and don't care if it looked clean, they only care just that they rode away at all, which is literally fine
