Apart from triples, where do you expect skiing to progress??

Yeah, good question for all you future spin haters. The late CR Johnson was doing bio 9's in 2000, dubs are common, even corks onto and off of rails are nearly ten years old, for your information. In the Massive Tanner Hall threw a cork 9 off a wallride. Maybe you are too young to have realized all of this. Regardless, if skiers don't keep spinning more and more...where the HELL do you guys expect tricks to go? What's left? Everything has been done. So just answer the question, of you can, if you truly want skiing to keep progressing.
 
someone will spin so hard he'll take off like a helicopter propelling us into a new age of clean transportation and the sport of skiheliing will evolve where skiers will lift helicopters up hills
 
It's been pretty obvious that most people who ski care quite a lot about the future of progression, duh.
 
more butter dubs, new dubs, new singles and I really want to see someone land a frontflip flatspin type thing!
 
Good question. Thing is, we've almost come to an end of what is physically possible. You see people getting creative already and I think that's where the sport is heading.
 
This is called the Mcnugget. Me and my buds have been trying it for years on a tramp with little success :(
 
i dont really care either, their pros, they are supposed to be the best. we should all just stop paying so much attention to where the sport is going and just have fun, work on your tricks, and be steezy as fuck. that is all.
 
On the comp side, more creative ways of spinning and flipping, different grabs coming into play. Triples will keep getting cleaner. On the film side, more creative features, nuts urban and different crews emerging with more distinct styles.
 
i think rail skiing is gonna be the biggest place skiers progress in the future. were gonna see a lot of different grind variations/flatground tricks borrowed from snowboarders/skaters and bladers. as well i see big mountain slope comps (cold rush, linecatcher) go off the hook in the upcoming years.
 
is this a troll post? gotta be...

seriously laughing at "everything has been done". what a skier way to think. the only thing left is to spin and flip more!
 
I do them all the time on tramp with japan grabs. They are certainly possible, I hope someone could do a front kangaroo flip! (double front flatspin 900)!
 
yea i theres a bmx rider, i forget his name, but he does this thing where he starts in a front flip rotation and does a 180 at the same time, and then goes into pretty much a switch flat spin 5. Ive gotten close to doing this coming off a flybed jumping to pads. I feel like it would definitely be possible, and would be a really dope trick to do off a cliff. Im not sure if thats what your mean by a forward flat spin though. I also want to see a bio 3, thats another thing ive seen some people almost getting on tramps.

And theres still room to progress simply with grabs. For example, correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure no one at this point has incorporated lead japans, or double/2 handed blunts into dubs. And speaking of two handed blunts, i really want to see someone get an uncrossed 2 handed blunt, so theyre grabbing both of their tails on one side of their body, in something like a cork 9
 
on rails i think we're gonna start seeing more people combining surface swaps, one footers, grabs, taps and presses into rail tricks people do now. think downrail 270 on one foot to front surface swap. or tailslide, rock back to center then blind surface swap nollie out. not to mention wizard, rollerblader andy parry/asian_allen stuff. there really is no limit on rails and i think skiers didn't tap into rail skiings true potential until the last 6-7 ish years so its been pretty cool to watch year by year.

for jumps, fuck if i know. every mountain has such different styles and qualities of jumps and i think it really influences peoples styles and trick choice, so theres not really one direction to go. i just hope that in the next few years theres still going to be a place in the industry for kids who grow up hitting sub-par or small jumps with style instead of perfect breck style jumps that everyone and their little brother is slaying nowadays.
 
that dub @ 1:24 and henriks dub flat are so ridiculous, something that be sick to see way more of.

I feel like that dub @ 1:24 is like a lot of casabons rotations but this guy dips his shoulder harder around 540/720 where phil keeps it straighter. such a sick trick
 
a dub 7 is just a stupid aerial. flipping is aerials. spinning is where freeskiing took off. a dub 7 would just be stupid imo. aerial with a grab...oooooh so cool...not really
 
i cant flat 7 some im not exactly sure on how they come around, but would it be possible to do a dub where the first flip is a flat 7?
 
This is sick. Accept that guy has a mouth like Steven Tyler, therfore he should be kicked in the teeth..... But yeah weird spins and flips forsure.

Anyways, like the "Finger Flip" video I was kind of thinking ski varials and stuff like that. Maybe some magnetic bindings that help with this? Snowboard varials and 1 footed tricks are already kind of here so, maybe skiing will incorporate that in somehow?
 
This guy gets it. So does the other guy who said everything pretty much was done 10 years ago. I'm disappointed with everyone's vague and weak responses to the thread's question. Then again, it only proves my point...that skiing must "become aerials" in order to progress. It always has been aerials, technically speaking. Baggy clothing works wonders for the sport. If everyone wore tight clothing like real aerials, it would look awful and very similar. just saying.
 
i believe it's actually called a roundflip but that's just what i've seen it called on here a few times

no objections to calling it the mcnugget tho haha
