for some reason there’s a trend going around where people hit enormous shifty’s off side hits. I don’t know how to feel. If it’s done right it can look pretty sick imo but what do y’all think?
 
They ARE pretty sick!

I could watch Delorme with PWhite and DAdams blasting sidehits while throwing massive straight airs or shifties all fucking day long!
 
I think it's pretty gangster. It's not only a solid way to avoid a complete straight air but also a way to see how a side hit kicks and how much speed you need to add/take off. They also look pretty sick when theyre done super huge.
 
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like throwing a grab or shifty with a large straight air is easier than just keeping your skis straight. It might have something to do with keeping your mind occupied and not fixating on the knuckle or a tree or something which will get you off balance. As an example look at A Hall here. his arms stop flailing as much once he grabs.

Same. Unless I have already told my self in my head that off this next one I'm doing a Japan etc my body pretty much just does a safety out of habit.

This is very new wave of you
 
yeah they're super cool. in fact, they're so cool that your asking if they're cool is making me skeptical of your coolness
