Blinds swaps will always be cooler than front swaps

[Pickleskier_]

Change my mind.

 

[lil.Boye]

no need to change it, you got it right

I agree 90% of the time except the only example I can think of where fs always looks better is if u hit a donkey and fs to the flat of it

 

[Dlonetti]

Let the feature decide the trick is the way

I think it's debatable but front surfaces might look as cool as back

Just bs to the flat of it and it’s way cooler

front surface is the worst looking swap.

hot take, I think this trick looks stupid and isnt very impressive

wouldn't dare. got a sick clip of my homeboy years ago going switch tails, blind swap to switch on a DFD. that was tight

those are my fav two front swaps of all time. reflecting on them makes it clear to me that the best trick for a feature is usually decided by the feature more than the skier. My fav skiers are the ones who can recognize what the spot wants and have the ability to execute that most proper.

Not really what this thread is about, but just had me thinking.

otherwise, yea I like blind better than front.

in general some tricks look inherently better than others. For example, most would probably agree that bsb2 looks nicer than fsf2. But it really depends on how you do them. A ray on a flat tube probably won't look as nice as a front swap to the flat of a dfd. Speed, style, and the feature itself all play a huge role

Its easy to imagine someone doing a perfect bs to the donkey in ur head but in reality its gonna insanely hard to make it actually look good thats why I picked it. I’ve seen many fs to a donkey in videos that look sick but doing it bs is too hard for the vast majority of skiers

Exactly, that’s why a bs is cooler. Cause if done good it fucks the hell out of the fs

Front swap to switch is cooler than backswap to forward tho, I think front swaps are only whack if you chain like 3 together
