It's all about the short intense adrenaline rush you get doing the spot.
It's really fun to do, finding the spot (which is the hardest part) , panicking, then finding your courage and doing it. Such a gratifying sensation.
And it makes you a better skier, it gives you style and character. And APPRECIATION for SNOW.
Freeskiing is a sport where emotions are involved, it's not logical, and thats where style is from. Anything that make you love skiing more, is good for your skiing. And nothing makes you a better skier than skiing any terrain possible. (who is the best? Candid, and he ski anything)
Thirdly it's a BIT more accessible to the bigger public. Which is something the freeski world use to be kinda good at (f**k FIS), but now NEED to improve with. And it easily can, by doing banger events/contests. RIP Xgames, Nine Knights, Redbull Railistique. Videos are fun but nothing beat seeing it live, the emotions.
Maybe there is a bit of hype on bpc, cause it is (/was, i agree it's getting old really fast) different and new. And cause the rest is boring and has no personality, no risk, no impact. Be creative for f**k sake, which again i agree IT IS HARD, but truly only need you to take risk.
I am one of the biggest skiing fan ever, i wish for true banger too come out every year since i'm 13 (27 now). Nothing makes me happier. But pasts year haven't been glorious. 2,3 impactfull projects per year, not even close to what freeskiing dropped 14 years ago.
And finally, three video is a bit overkill, but we really enjoy doing it, so we might do a fourth, there is still things to ski (sorry hahahahahaha).
But haters dont worry the hype is going to fade away, like everything.
Thanks you all who enjoy what we do.
PS i dont skate, rollerblade or bike. i do a bit of cliff jumping. thats it. i mixed it with skiing and VOILA bpc was born.
