yeah, hate me blabla, skiing is so much cooler, jumps are different, landings are different not uniformed like in aerial skiing, grabs blablabla
BUT
imo, big air competitions will slowly turn into something that is (at least for the uninitiated audience) not so far away from aerials. come on, look at that stuff, switch double misty 14? double cork 16s? the big air kickers arent too different whether its xgames or us open or whatever comp it is...we all know that triples will be thrown in one or two years, and at some point you have to question yourself one thing (i dont have a problem with that, the tricks were awesome and hella techy)
are we on the same track? (...as oldschool skiing: into eternal oblivion. what direction should our sport go, so we dont make the same mistakes again, not to be negative or whatever, but history shows that "extreme skiing" failed once before us, and we should try to prevent that.
 
This topic has been widely discussed in the past but the tricks are getting closer to aerials. Even if they are though the tricks are completely different. Flipping and spinning in aerials is one thing but making that stuff look nice is another. Plus turpin has done a triple already.
 
yeah, i know that i am not the first to think of it, but with this heck of a show in mind, i guess that more people have something to say.
and no triple so far has actually been legit
 
The difference between our sport and aerials is style. I mean tjs sub16 was a tad hucked but bobbys misty was silky smooth, same with everyone elses spins in that comp
 
First of all, there was style in those, and they were dope. Second of all, i was watching them with a bunch of non skiing friends and they were all speechless. Public likes that shit. Third of all, comps arent for slow and steezy shit, there for the biggest tricks, movies are for the rest of skiing, you cant put it all in a comp.
