Is style important? - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

Style is huge to make a trick or even riding look good. The more style you have the more effortless your riding looks. I don't care what tricks you do or what terrain you ride. If you ride without style you look like shit.

i def think style is important. When you can ride without thinking about what your doing and just respond to the terrain you are sytlin. I also try not to look like a dork to bad. That is getting harder with age. lol.

Yeah, I was thinking about a way to define good style and that is defenitly it. The ability to make everything look smooth and a lot easier than it actually is.

you think travis rice has bad style???
i do notice the revert outs he does on park kickers some time but other than that i think he has some of the most fearless style i have seen

i think of style as making everything look easy and all when the rider looks like he wants to be doing the trick

you see some people who do whatever it is they are doing so fast it looks like they are scared and to me that looks bad

All the pro riders in the magazines always talk about style and how important it is. Its mentioned alot.

after watching myself not land 360's on video today... i learned that my style is currently zero on 360's and style is indeed important.

Don't worry about it. It takes time to become comfortable enough that you can add style to a trick.

I agree, he goes the biggest of all snowboarders and tries the most difficult tricks but his style is aweful to watch. His arms are flailing on 720's. I think bad style is something he'll always have.

Yeah, I agree. However, he throws such ridiculous tricks that it's almost as if it really doesn't matter. Sure I'd rather watch MFM pull a front 3, but Travis is defenitly progressing our sport.
