Double cork 16 vs. sw triple rodeo 12

Both were sublime. But TJ's trick was more technical, maybe harder to replicate (I can't even replicate it in my mind)--you'll probably see another sw triple rodeo before a double cork 16.
 
not a fan of either really, i hate how people relate progression to "spin to win" or in this case "double or triple flip to win" I really disagree where this is being pushed to. yeah sure they did it. but it took a MASSIVE jump to even come close to stomping it. There is no terrain park in the world that will build and let the public hit such a massive feature. It's a liability issue as well as insurance wise.

with that said it just doesnt make sense the way they are pushing the sport when no competition besides JOSS or now the SCI will build something as large. just my thought.
 
there are at least a dozen super kicker sessions each year. it's not just JOSS and SCI. it's probably no more exclusive than heli skiing in AK. not sure how the costs compare, but probably more bang for your buck too, since the conditions don't have to be as perfect.
 
sammy just has that steeze, makes sense since he grew up looking up to pollard. im sorry but sammys switch triple was actually really really fucking stylie, even tho it was a big trick. in my opinion sammys style automatically puts him above b. brown, and T.J. just my opinion as ive been a sammy fan since he hit the scene,
 
that triple rodeo was pretty looking. well grabbed with a smooth rotation. i can't really see how its possible to say that shit wasn't steezy...it looked quite nice.
 
not reall sure why everyone's bitching about this and saying that they dont' build big enough booters for them to start getting into triples. In the backcountry, there are no limits to how big you want to make it a step down or just a massive gap. I wanna see these triples pushed into the backcountry
 
if you are referring to me then, suck my white ass u fat fuck. and if not then hey, sorry for hating........ actually im not
 
without progression (aka - new tricks) the sport dies. as is the way with all "extreme" sports. look at what skateboarding has turned into with the mega ramps and what not.

it really doesn't matter what you want/like, or what is available to the general public in your average terrain park. skiing at a pro level shouldn't take place in your average terrain park available to the general public. and pro skiers shouldn't be doing cork 5's for a living.
 
Ummm where do you think pro skiers go to train? do you think they have some magical terrain park with massive booters all the time? No. They train in your "above average" terrain parks throughout the country including but not limited to Keystone, Breck, Northstar, Echo, and Mammoth.

Unfortunately you need to dig your head out of your ass and realize these guys ski right next to us everyday we're out there, just like joe schmoe can.

and Yes they shouldnt be stuck to doin cork 5's, another moronic answer. I just said I don't feel dubs and trips are the way to go, there other areas of the sport that need to be progressed like halfpipe since FIS and the Olympic Commitee are sanctioning Men and Womens Halfpipe in the next winter olmypics.

I'm not hating on what sammy and whoever else that has done a triple. It's neat he did it but those are tricks that will be pulled out maybe a dozen times each year by each skier that can do trips.
 
right... so all pro skiers should be just skiing halfpipe?

sorry, I"m having a hard time with your mentality. it's not up to you what the pros CHOOSE to do on skis. and your opinion of what they SHOULD and SHOULDN'T do is completely irrelevant, as is my opinion. but that being said, I'm not really giving my opinion as to what the pros should be doing... because it's not my place.

And you're playing with a double edged sword in a way, saying that pros shouldn't be throwing doubles/triples because people don't have access to jumps big enough, and yet saying that the same pros are "training" (learning their tricks) in public parks in Colorado where all the park rats hang out and ski... What DO you want the pros to be doing? and how do you purpose they go about doing it? You don't want doubles, but you agree with me that they shouldn't just be doing simple tricks... so what do you want out of a pro skier (especially those who spend most of their career's in the slopestyle/big air game)? Seriously...

And don't worry, my head is nowhere close to my ass, and I have no intentions of putting anything (especially my head of all things) up my ass any time soon.

dont listen to eheath all he does is walk into threads hate and leave... thats y he has like 29000 posts
 
Well now that dubs are becoming rediculously sickening, more experimentation with different double axis rotations are in need before moving to triples is what i was trying to convey but left out.

I was using olympic halfpipe just as an example and was in no means thinking everyone should pour their energy into that one thing. It was that way, it wouldnt be freeskiing obviously and we'd turn into a freestyle equivelant of a race team. thank god that's not happening.

Again no hate on Pasty C and his sweet trip(or his other tricks), but my opinion is my opinion. I'm not saying my opinion matters, this is a forum and i thought in a forum we're aloud to express our opinion.

There's been threads before about the whole dub and trip game. Again I'm not hating on it(I actually think the dubs have progressed so much that they are sick looking), just expressing my opinion agreeable or disagreeable.
 
jesus christ! what got into you? still bitter about being passed over for JOSS?

also eheath, i have to wonder: why don't you tell parker white or pete

allport to fuck off when they belittle you? when you actually have a reason to talk shit on the internet, you put your tail between your legs and run!

what's so controversial about comparing a dub cork 16 and a sw triple rodeo? it's been a good year for skiing. two historical tricks (3 if you count the one we haven't seen) in a small span of time. why can't we take stock? also, it seems worth bringing up the dub 16 because it's fading into the background with all of the triple-mania.

 
100% agree with you..

event though doing a tripple is preety sick.. I dont like that direction that skiing is heading soon you wont be able to compete unless you train for a couple of months a year on water ramps.

but that being said.bobby brown has more air sense than anyone ive ever seen.. and his double mistys are amazing..

its just a phase though.. and its a seprate niche of skiing culture.. there are huckers , spin to wins, pow shredders, nicholas muller types.. g-outed wiggers, tele hippies.

race cats, what eves its all skiing.

let people do theres shit will even out..

to the guy that said skiers should be pro just doing cork 5's

shut up .. cork 5's are the best trick ever invented. pros should do what ever makes them happy.. if there selling skis, or energy drinks or what ever it is.. they just doing there thing. even if you think they suck.. do you really think they or anyone gives a shit ?
 
it should say shouldn't be pro.

and the answer in my opinion to this thread.. dub cork 16 is harder than a fakie tripple rodeo..

spinning that much is crazy
 
NO WAY MAN, you dont understand the first thing about shrews, if we started calling everything a shrew then things would be bad, and i dont like bad, so please keep bitching at me, cause i think thats what this thread is about, not really sure though
 
dude sammy's 12 was soo steezy for a triple, i mean it was grabbed the whole way and stomped pretty cleanly. i vote the sw trip rodeo 12 over dub cork 16 at this point, we'll see when they both clean these tricks up even more
 
i agree, but the double 16 was harder on the mind. with sammy floating the double so much, and having so much control of over each loop, you could see the 3rd loop coming (not to take away from how crazy it was). the double cork 16 came out of nowhere. both tricks had me rewinding the tape, but i definitely had to rewind it more for TJ's.

just fucking sack up and admit that your all pissed that people are doing this shit. who really cares if the best in the world are doing the best tricks? it makes sense. the tricks they do are fucking nuts and its just crazy that its being done. what do you want instead? sorry no one is busting boner steez 1800's. just get your skis and hit the fucking slopes. thats what matters
 
If the jumps are big enough to do it well and with style, why not try it? You are basically saying that people shouldn't try to progress. It's a huge part of the sport. If there are regularly 100+ foot jumps at shoots, it's pretty obvious that doubles can and will continue to have dope style.

"I just said I don't feel dubs and trips are the way to go, there other areas of the sport that need to be progressed like halfpipe since FIS and the Olympic Commitee are sanctioning Men and Womens Halfpipe in the next winter olmypics. "

Is this seriously your argument? Okay triples whatever, but no one should do dubs? haha, get real Gallant. Don't be so jaded or go to Woodward and quit yer complainin. Besides, what happens when ski slope gets included in the olympics?
