Triple 1800 and Screamin Semen Double

on a park jump as opposed to a pow jump? i think the park jump would be easier....

But good skier obviously, dislike his style though, looks like he has the skills of a gymnast
 
yes, a park jump would be easier than a pow jump...but I think he's referring to a open public park jump vs a big air jump like at JOI. Generally, park jumps are smaller and offer less air time than big air contest jumps.
 
So he can only spin one way and he can't really grab his skis well... is that where we're at here? Although that screamin seamen dub was the best trick ever done on skis.
 
looked like he could grab just fine to me. you're hating just for the sake of hating chief.
 
screamin semen was cool

the rest was just hucked like crazy, arms flailing around on every single landing
 
da fuq? you call that flailing, I saw a couple arm bobbles/dips... And those hardly looked "hucked like crazy", they were thrown hard since its a park jump, this kid obviously knew what he was doing, and that first shot was insanely smooth!

and to the guy who said he couldnt grab, there were only 2 tricks he didnt grab, his first TRIPPLE, and a double SCREAMIN SEMEN... this kid needs to go to JOI
 
The very definition of hucking is throwing your spins really hard... and feel free to consider touching the ski for a split second as "grabbing".
 
Really? Not even a right 9? Sad day when dudes are doing triples and cant even do a simple right spin...
 
Kai Mahler did the first one ever. And how do you know he can spin only one way?

Oh god, I just started an internet fight with skierman and eheath.
 
haters be hating. I was impressed by his flippy spinny skills.

Wait. What I ment to say is: how dare he not be as good as the top pros! Everyone knows that if you are going to put yourself out there and try something you HAVE to be as good if not better than the best in the world from the get go, or gtfo right?
 
Are people really hating on this?? Am I the biggest fan of doubles and triples? No. But these tricks are insanely hard, would love to see what else this kid can do. Semen double was on point!
 
i dont know why everyone is so worried about him having a right side spin, this is his qualifier video to a big air event, who the fuck would try and do unnatural spins for a big air event?
 
Hucked like that one picture in your profile of you skiing, 4 feet off the ground, one arm in the air one reaching for a boot grab...?

If there is one thing you seem to know about, it is hucking with no style.
 
How can you kids not tell the difference between criticizing someone's style, or lack thereof, and just straight up hating someone?

We don't care if he's as good as the top guys, we just don't like watching someone constantly huck themselves for the sake of being able to do a dub/trip. But hey if you're into people spinning as fast as possible with no regards to being actually good then good on you... go enjoy some Chinese gymnasts doing aerials.
 
first - please don't call me a kid.

second - You are hating on a person's "style" based on a short edit that's purpose is to try and get into a big air competition. Obviously I know you aren't hating on him personally, I mean, we don't even have anything to go by as far as his personal life goes.

It'd be pretty weird to be like "he didn't grab his ski long enough in that switch double misty, I bet he has no friends and hangs out playing Scrabble with his mother on weekends."

I don't know about you (guys) but I've always been stoked on skiing. Back in the 90's when skiing wasn't "cool", I thought it was the best thing ever. Busting daffy's in the moguls was the coolest thing ever! When park skiing came around, fuck yeah! Now that a lot of skiers actually look really smooth while doing crazy tricks is fucking awesome, but does that mean there is no room in the sport for anything that isn't "the best shit ever"?

You guys are hating on an amature skier for skiing the way he deemed fun. That is what I have a problem with. If someone goes out and throws a triple that isn't flawlessly executed it doesn't actually change anything in terms of your or my enjoyment of the sport, so why do people have such a hard time accepting the fact that the trick was what it was?

I was a skier back when terrain parks didn't even exist. Ballet was an Olympic sport, moguls was the shit and aerial skiing was so next level it didn't really make sense. Now pro skiers are doing switch triple variations and putting down pipe runs with 4 doubles in them. Looking back at the history of skiing, you never really see the issue of "style" anywhere. In the 'future' do you really think individual skiers style will matter in the grand scheme of things? What someone does is more influential than how they do it in the long run.

Next time someone does something that is at the peak of human performance, think twice before dismissing it because it doesn't fit your perfect ideals of what it SHOULD be, just be amazed that it happened at all.

 
Wow, that was nutty. The kang screamin was wild! I feel that eheath makes a good point though, I mean he has a triple and a bunch of dubs to the left and yet didn't show anything rightside?
 
This.

I would just love to see MORE from him. Maybe he has some right side tricks, maybe not. Props to him for showing his biggest tricks, which are truly insane, but I'd love to see some of the smaller tricks he has.

But it's hard to blame him. After all, he is trying to get into a big air comp.
 


He obviously isn't good at spinning right, but what is your problem with that? Who cares? He is still a sick skier and would shit on most people of NS. But you guys are right. People shouldn't feel comfortable and having fun skiing. They should do what people on NS want.
