So...are huge shifties cool?

[skierman_jack]

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?

 

[cozyco]

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!

 

[snowfinder]

spinning is so 2019

 

[SkiBronJames]

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.

 

[AndrewGravesSV]

They're fun and are an easy way to show off your control

 

[Cade2]

I mean have you seen siggers do shiftys? fucking life changing

 

[J_Christoph]

Stiff shifties have nothing on tweaked safeties when it comes to those types of straight airs

 

[Granby_killdozer]

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.

Shifties probably have the highest coolness to ease ratio out of any trick

but they can look bad if done poorly

 

[oldmanski]

I think they are cool, props to anybody that can fly through the air and keep it under control.

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.

Overshifty 180s look so sick

 

[P3t3r]

[CalumSKI]

[seanahue.]

absofuckinglutely

 

[GrapeHunter]

Not only are they cool, but they are fairly easy and extremely fun to do on everything you can get air off of

 

[partyandBS]

Safety tweak master race!

The funnest trick there is off side hits!

This is very new wave of you

 

[J_Steez]

Christian franchino is the god of shiftys.

 

[SofaKingSick]

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

 

[skierman_jack]

This is very new wave of you

What’s that supposed to mean ?

 

[frickindarn]

[mcswizzle]
