Emulating Pro's Style

[Pinguu]

Hello NS,
Well I don't know if a thread like this has been created but I was just thinking about it. Lately I've been trying to figure out what kind of skier I want to be. Defining my style. And I was thinking about what pro's I like to watch. Well, I just have figured that the skiers I love to watch should mold me into sort of what my style should be. I'm not saying copy the pros, of course try and create things yourself.
So my question is, what pros do you emulate?
I would like to mesh the styles of Mike Hornbeck, Garrett Russell, and Eric Pollard.

i emulate myself and do what i do best. I'm not a full blown park rat, nor am i that great at it, but i like to be able to slay the mountain then throw down a little something something, wether it be in the BC, off a knoll, or in the park. I'm sure there are pros that do something similar, but I don't try to act like them

 

[Pinguu]

It is making your own style, I still try and think of new things to do. But you have to enjoy watching some pros that have a style you kinda want. Sorry for the wrong gabber, I don't know why I threw it in here.

i emulate whoever is spittin' through my headphones.

find your own style try not watching any skiing and doing things your own way you will be surprised what kind of cool shit you can do thats unique to you

 

[Pinguu]

good answer. If I could just cut myself off from watching skiing everyday haha

 

[yojimbo]

this, but worded differently.

This makes no sense and complete sense at the same time.

The song playing can totally change the style. Ever been rollin in to something and the battery dies during the approach? That shit will fuck up whatever you were about to do.

bingo.

[Pinguu]

inspiration is probably the correct wording. I think that's more of what I was going for.

bringing back gorilla steeze as much as possible

I just do my own thing. I don't try to add anything to my style, I just let it flow. I just watched an edit that had me in it and I liked the way I looked. Nothing special, but it's my own thing.

 

[THATS_STREET]

i love the fact that reading this i can guess you got that hesh steeze going.

good list though. surprised by some of the names on there.....

 

[Kazabazua]

I don't really try to 'emulate' these people but there definately people who i look up to or have looked up to in skiing: Mick D, TJ Schiller, Jon, and recently Harlaut... theres really a long list of probably 20+ skiers but those are the first 4 that come to mind... when i used to learn new tricks i'd watch these pros to figure out how to do them, so it's really just a combo of all pros styles like you say, jon's corks, tj mutes etc.

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

why is that? just out of curiosity
