I believe that looking relaxed and in complete control is good style.+1Also, anyone ever noticed that Muller and Tom Burt have the same back rodeo arm in effect when they’re shredding pow? I personally love how it looks….like they’re riding a bull down the hill.

It really helps you learn the traits of the snowboard in an expressed way. And now I am looking to cab down cliffs and Ollie rocks, slide logs over uncovered terrain, just be able to handle anything in your way.

At about 3 minutes in Johan starts the “3000ft of vert around ~50degree in 35 seconds experience”. Johan’s segment in TB5 has shaped my approach to how I read lines and stands the test of time. I don’t care what your front or trailing arm is doing or what kind of boot/snowboard you prefer. If you ride with style, it will be obvious to all of those who bear witness. Johan’s part in TB5 is sick and inspiring. #steeze #steez #rideyourownline [youtube:2vjcvgtc]REIbSgufwSU[/youtube:2vjcvgtc] November 1, 2013 at 3:12 pm #671360 b0ardski 251 Postssteeze is as steez does Butters bustin a move It doesn’t matter if you duck squat in mushboots, oldskool tuck kneed rudder arm in foot vices. or even (god forbid) ski or tele, smooth efficient turns and line choice looks good, and aint that what steez is?

A key element of steez is that it looks easy. He’s got impeccable line choice and is just barely holding on in this segment. He goes for the biggest, baddest trick he can pull off and barely sticks many landings. At 0:30, he send that double by ratcheting his body around: jerk the board, jerk the body, jerk the board, jerk the body. Repeat until pointing the right direction. Steezy sevens are thrown smooth, tucked, and in control. :thatrocks: @cameron wrote:smooth efficient turns and line choice looks good, and aint that what steez is? Here’s another vote for epic line choice, maintaining flow, low center of gravity, smooth, and in control. Dirksen and Burt all the way. :thumpsup:Be sure to bookmark Splitboard.com's Recent Activity page... http://splitboard.com/activity-2/ November 1, 2013 at 4:00 pm #671362 barrows 1490 PostsI too appreciate and enjoy Johan’s riding style in big mountains. But, I think it is important to note that his professional carreer was cut short due to injury. Be careful out there, and think twice before you attempt a backside 3 off of a natural terrain feature at 40 MPH.
