Replying to Spins in and out of rails are corny
Riding through the park, I often see a lot of talented young rippers doing as many spins as possible on jumps and rails, but it just doesn’t look that steezy in my opinion. It’s very similar to going to the skatepark for a chill skate sesh, but then you get there and there’s some scooter kids doing some crazy double backflip 1080 type shi on the quarterpipe. It’s impressive but it’s not cool. I would much rather watch someone do a fat laid out cork 3 than a dub cork 14. I know Andy Parry gets a lot of hate for his bag but I think his rail tricks are cooler than someone who does switch 2 on pretz 4 out type variations. I think as a community, we should strive to push people to do more stylish, creative tricks with more speed, Pete Koukov is a good example of what I want to see more of. I just think that a lot of skiers take a very mathematical approach to skiing and it’s gotten very stale and boring at this point.
