Superunknown finalist announced

im pretty sure hornbeck isn't some random. and congrats you don't like his style, sooo many other people do. stop ragging on him just because it's not what you like.
 
Bro he's stating his opinion chill out. Just cause you and jon have a little relationship doesnt mean you should whine about other people stating their opinions.

But on another note Martini is gonna win hands down.

 
Word dude

I mean look at this douche, I dont think he can hate on anyone

I feel like I just watched the same video ten times. Level 1 really only has one type of guy filming for them copied twenty times over. And that's why it's so boring.

Oh and Berman doesn't care that you can do both 450's out of a flat park rail, so cut it.

And Mikee's right. Fakesteez is like real style's evil twin. And those of you that have to resort to posting pictures of him as like a 12 year old because you can't form proper arguments should get off the internets.

(Martini is lame, bye now)

 
Yeah I don't really get how you can say that Nick has no style or that Brogan has "forced style'. Neither of those things really make any sense.

Anyways, the point is that both Brogan and Martini have a style to their own, which makes them sick riders. Saying that either of these two skiers have bad or forced style simply shows a lack of knowledge about the sport of skiing. Nick's definitely a steezy motherfucker, if you don't think that you probably haven't seen him ski enough. He does some of the craziest shit on skis, but is always smooth. People have to understand that there is more to style than just limp hands and body. Nick nails his grabs, rides out steezy, and keeps all his movements smooth and coordinated, that's the basics of style. The other things, like where he puts his arms and what not are what makes Nick's style unique. Same with Brogan, essential smoothness with his own flavour = his style.

Nick's definitely got this one in the bank by far. The kid's truly on another level of skiing. Level1 would be foolish to pass him up as a rider in their flick next year....

Brogan, Compton, Borland's edits are also really rad, made me stoked.
 
why is everyone so fucking stupid? it's either dick riding or shit talking with the ski industry it seems...can't win em all, eh?
 
This argument is so damn childish, jesus. I see so much support for style being a rider's personal flavor on this site, and how it's lame that riders imitate other people's style. But then when Martini and Brogan, both outstandingly talented skiers, put out the dopest videos we've seen on NS in a long time there's a huge flame war about how they have bad style. Sorry they don't have the same style as everyone else, I thought that's what you wanted... oh yeah...
 
martini is good as shit....but i liked jack borland's too cuz he switched it up by not having gangster music in his edit..i know its not about the edit but it was nice to see a change in pace..
 
You're right about that. This is the essence of fake steez and is what turns skiing from something people who do it and otherwise can take seriously into a farce.

What is the difference between skiing and dancing? When you look at each of them at the basic physical level, they are the same. You put on your dancing shoes, and you dance. You put on your skis, and you ski.

It's easy to see what is wrong with Jon Brogan's skiing if you just take off your "that's sick" goggles and look with plain eyes. I use the word "wrong" to mean ugly, unnatural, forced, not beautiful, trying to force an idea of what style is into everything you do while overlooking the flowiness of what you're actually doing with your body, etc. I have to say, Jon Brogan's skiing has more potential than almost any I have seen out of ns or elsewhere, but what it comes down to is this: for me to be stoked on Jon Brogan's skiing, or anyone for God's sake, all he has to do is be aware of what he is doing, and follow it, instead of trying to impose something outside of the moment onto it.

I don't know. It's pretty simple. It's not a matter of "he's been skiing that way forever, it's not forced," it's a matter of not forcing yourself to do something your body and all the laws of physics are unhappy with.

keep dancing
 
this thread is sooo awesome!!! im glad im not the only one who knows BROGAN has "forced steeze" and MARTINI has bad style! i mean they both suck at life, we should all just go to thier houses and kill them, that would be the best solution. plus thier videos sucked, my grandma could ski better with her head in her LOOSE PUSSY!!!!!!belllee dattt
 
all the videos have amazing trick, its a tough call because they pretty much all slay different kinds of tricks, but i would say nick has a highest number of rediculous tricks on film, can you imagine if you crossed nick martini with jon brogan!!!? thats what i always think about, haha
 
I really like Brogan's steeze, its really unique. Like you could see 100 different hits and pick out his easily and that's certainly not a bad thing, that's how you are noticed. Plus did some of his grabs are just so stylie and sick compared to anyone elses i saw.
 
Ive been reading that everywhere, brogans steeze is the same everywhere. When I was down in PA for the jib academy I rode with him, seany J and all those guys. You are completely right, there was not one run where he looked different than he does in edits and in his superunknown, its just his steeze and it looks dope, not to mention hes mad chillll.
 
wow, superunknown is such a great comp for unknown kids to get out there

and all you NS'ers do is find a way to rip everyones video apart.

brogan will ski the way he does till the day that he dies and martini is effin rediculous

please get over this and let Berman pick the winner.

P
 
Whatever this is EXTREMELY serious. If you loose Berman cuts your head off, and if you don't argue about the winner than Berman will cut your head off as well... duh
 
Nick's- So many good tricks and so good of urban, but im not so sure about his steeze or if theres any at all.

Brogan's- So sick every trick 100% stomped. Plus brogan's desearves it so much more.

My vote is for brogan
 
martini is the better skier. murders urban. murders park. and actually skied some outside the park. he doesnt have brogan's style, but he isnt haggard either. martini should win, hands down in my opinion. however, the question arises. is he a super unknown? he won the overall jib academy last year and is moving up quickly on salomon. he also got 4th at the us open this year. he isnt very super unknown. Sean decker got 4th at the Us open two years ago and got into X games this year... martini is blowing up, whereas, brogan doesnt have any sponsors and kills it...
