Wow! So this is how gay freestyling has become. Stiff, hard on stance is in and tweaking is out. There are times when going straight legged is warranted but for the most part it looks stupid. Also, contrary to popular belief, pulling up on the back of the ski helps to unweight the ski to help you get the ski higher it work well on flat water. Riding like a boner is soul-less
 
#1) this is about surf
#2) you have no sense of style
#3) how can you say that the "I'm taking a dump" squat looks better?

PS
don't cry. I'm halfway joking, but I'm certainly not trying to start any girl fights.

I think it would look cool if somebody would throw down like a MX style whip off a big wave. Get the ski all sideways next to them, I dont know how to describe it.....never mind.

No dude its you that has no sense of style, Surf flat or whereever, you are advocating a single stance: feet side by side lock in the foothold standing completely stiff. Only in this self congratulatory circle jerk is that an acceptable riding style.

So you are arguing that squatting looks better? I can't believe I'm reading this. Even when riding surf stance I try to stay as vertical as possible when JUMPING STRAIGHT. Vertical is also the SAFE way to jump straight when you are getting any altitude. Like Nick said, if you are squatted at all, you WILL collapse into the tray and you'll look like a retard throughout your flight and landing.

Just because your opinion differs from the MAJORITY doesn't mean that the rest of us are wrong and simply engaging in a circle of self pleasure.

I know and it may look gay but I would like to see it done, if it does look gay I will admit it but it could be kinda cool.

it's imposible to do a tail whip on a ski. are you planning on installing wheels and a chaid drive or a some kind of gyroscope to your sj?

the original post was about people who jump in surf and don't do any tricks durring the jump. I'm pretty entertained to see you guys twist this thread though.
:cheer2:
 
It wouldn't look gay. It would bring style back to this sport.

That's also not what this discussion is about. I believe that everyone is in agreement that during any kind of grab or NON STRAIGHT jump, bending of the knees is not only acceptable, but usually necessary. Stay on track.

Yep exactly, wheels, chaid drive and a gyro. Uhhh..no just an idea or more a question. A no would be sufficient demon.

What are people throwing down besides straight airs, stabs, rolls and flips? Is there anything else? Oh yeah, nothings and supermans...brainfart!
