Skiing is like jazz

I dont know how many people on here are into jazz music or know much about it, but its alot like skiing. Cause like theres two ways to play jazz you can be like miles davis and not get really complicated on your sols but just blow mids with your flow, sound and style. or, you can be super technical and play reall really fast and play all sorts of tricky notes and rythms. I just though its relates to syle in skiing because people are always arguing whether its really neccesary to do fast, teched out 1440s and stuff or if just better to land a nice slow stylie switch 3.
 
skiing is like jazz, or any other form of self expression,

All the things that make you who you are contribute to your style of music, clothes, skiing, anything.
 
the only problem is all legendary jazz artists were black and i don't know any famous black skiers. good comparison though. my style most commonly resembles coltrane i'd say
 
No not a pointless thread.

Jon Olson = Miles Davis

Mike Wilson = Charlie Parker

I listen to jazz all the time when i ride. Jazz is awesome. I've been playing saxophone for 9 years now, and it has definitely opened my mind to jazz. Awesome guys to listen to are obviously miles davis (trumpet), charlie parker (alto sax), Lester Young (tenor sax), Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Weather Report, and I like all swing/big band. (ex. duke ellington, benny goodman etc.)
 
quite the analogie

but in jazz depending on the instrument it can be hard to be realy technical or other instruments are hard to be smooth and stylie
 
Not true about them all being black. There's chet baker, arturo sandoval, jeff coffin, roger ingram....the list goes on. But I do agree that the more commercially known artists are pretty much all black.

For future reference T.J.=Clifford Brown, super technical yet perfectly tuned.
 
hmm there's way bigger extremes than that. say

Eric Pollard=Miles Davis

Well maybee mike wilson but there's a lot that are like that
 
Skiings more like jizz, its funny looking and when u see it releifs ur pressure and makes u feel good. Oh yeah I hsould shut up haha
