Hand Drag Spins: Epic or Overrated?

[krazykeegs]

Hand drags have pretty much exploded out of the darkness lately..

I think they're sick but,

Are they legit or over used?

 

[Silence]

Well i can't do them, but i think hand drags are super sick.

 

[Malcolm]

i wouldnt say that theyre overrated. its just that too many people do them wrong, including me

 

[ajax]

Epic when done with style, otherwise they are quite ugly

 

[Jamie_Baril]

epic

 

[Karcher]

its really all opinion man. i personally think they are way way sick. but thats probably just because i can do them. someone who couldnt do them might get frustrated and say that too many people do them and theyre way overrated, when really they just need to try them and have some fun. this situation is similar to kangaroo flips.

 

[drewishish]

they are the funnest things in the world.... so why does it matter?

 

[teleTay]

ummmmmmmmmmmmm......

EPIC!!!!

 

[spliff.Life]

i think this is a copy of like 50 other threads that no one really cares that much about if a trick is over or under rated and it looks like someone with 5 posts is too lazy to post so they just made a thread

 

[short_and_steezy]

epic!!!

 

[Piste.Off]

epic and fun in pow

 

[teleTay]

way fun in pow

 

[kenevil]

I would have to say epic, because they are super fun, even though mine are probably pretty ugly.

 

[BK]

hathaway, bishop, wallisch, delorme

 

[shortdawg]

Epic when steeze is applied

 

[landonn]

epic. i think they are fun and not that scary but they can't really be used in comps.

 

[keystoneandbone]

they can be if there is a rainbow box, and the judges usually havent seen one yet so they will give u mad points for them

 

[Balto]

epic when ur the only one at ur mountain who can do one good lol

 

[phishfood]

 

[popNfresh44]

sooper cool

 

[Franny]

I can see myself skiing over my hand doing that.

 

[punkrock32]

Hand drag spins are both epic and overrated. They are epic because they may be the most fun trick, but overrated in that they are pretty easy, its just about committing.

 

[krazykeegs]

yeah yeah

Hath taught me at Jib Academy it was soo intense

 

[Bangor]

epic in the backcountry, stupid in the park, IMO.

 

[alev]

their super fun either way

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

I have no idea how to do them, and that makes them all the more epic.

 

[sdfjklioeur]

who cares stop worrying about if something is epic or overrated and think for yourself...........

 

[i.ski.troll.]

i dont think its either
i mean to many people do them. they were cool for a while but now idk
the one i only like is t-walls handdrag over the rainbow box in the hephi edit

 

[Alex_G]

Hand drags are fun!

 

[Lineskiah11]

i love them, they look so sick when done right

 

[poofartpee]

there alot harder then they look and they feel/look amazing

deff a legit trick

plus i saw no one do them in my area all last season (well ok i saw like 5)

 

[rudager]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun, I can't do them as well as I want, only can get the 1's in, I heard I'm good at them and that they loook good, but I'm the only person I know at my mountain that does them. So who knows. Just take the trick and make it yours, it's freeskiing, not fitted.

 

[eheath]

If you can do them well and film em right they are siicckk for shotss.

 

[skiingonskis]

if they're done right, sick!

 

[Switchin_Dirty]

so hot right now.

personally I think they look sick and definetly add a level of difficulty and style to tricks. and its way too much fun in pow.

 

[holyDINOSAURS]

yeah.

good thing.

 

[SkiingNinja]

turpin rocks that shit so hard

 

[aja_kiki]

epic

 

[SteevJee]

i just learned them last weekend and I think they are sick

 

[rj.]

righto...buttsecks.! hah

 

[blindside]

yes so EPIC!! and any variation of them too!! (i.e. all tricks involving hands like handdrag over knoll, over rainbow boxes, etc i LOVE THEM!)

 

[wintersway]

epic.. much harder to do with style than one would think.

 

[McSlay]

are we talking about doing it on jumps or like landings and knolls and stuff either way EPIC

 

[fragglemuffin]

so steezy

 

[heFF]

i can't seem to get the hang of them yet

 

[artfullydodged]

sooooo fun. even falling is fun haha

 

[drewishish]

if you do them off the lips of the jumps you can. its different then one off of a knuckle but you go cork and shit. fun stuff, and nobody ever does them so judges notice that.

 

[ajax]

and if you're lucky you'll win a pair of snowblades....

 

[Parker.]

kinda harsh i think.

they're epic

 

[chazz.]

[Klick_2_klaim]
