So I was reading though one my older Freeskier magazines the other night (v7 i3 December 2004) and noticed one of the questions asked during Tanner Hall's interview and found it interesting, so I thought I'd share it.
p.75
Mike Douglas:
What's it going to take to win competitions in the next few years? Will you need to throw a switch 1440 with a grab?
Tanner Hall:
No, no. Now so many kids are starting to spin to the right side. I've talked to Simon Dumont, Jon Olsson and the guys who are leading the comp scene about this stuff. It's all about being smooth and bringing out good style on both sides. Being able to look good spinning both ways on jumps, rails and in the pipe. But big air is basically a junk show and is always going to be about spinning hard.
