I cannot even fathom 3 years from now...

[Triple_Strum]

Just watched David Wise throw the double cork in the pipe. I still remember watching comps from 6 and 7 years ago where the big air was Tanner throwing a switch 7 and pipe was candide, CR and others doing a flair, straight air, cork 9 for the win. I honestly can't comprehend where competition skiing will be in even three years. No real point to this thread except to get an 'amen' from the old farts around here who actually remember the first 1080s, JFs penciled switch 7 to win the first big air and people throwing 5s in the pipe as a sick trick.

ya, people who suck like me are totally boned! considering i can 270 off after 1 year of park im pretty much doomed to mediocrity

 

[carbon.pulse]

Skiing now will be unrecognizable in 5 years. Will be comprehensively different.

 

[Avifarer]

word man. especially when you see "nobody's" doing doubles at your public park.

I cannot even fathom 3 weeks from now. What will I have for breakfast? How many times will I urinate? Will I be properly hydrated at the end of the day? THESE are the questions plaguing America!

 

[Tolz]

no kidding. i remember seeing some of the old comps. but i suppose its like everything else; nobody thought a backflip on a dirtbike was possible - now they are doing doubles.

craziness indeed.

 

[yellav]

what pros do effect my ability to enjoy skiing so much!

 

[TheUngroomed]

ummmmmm. get some help

 

[Forkstealer]

Wow is that hate on progression? Lol im stoked on triples in pipe, 1980s and another 'Triple twisting quadruple backflip'

 

[Literature]

The best part for me is that shredding pow will still be as awesome.

 

[SteezyOhio]

the largest you can go on my ice jumps is a 720, its such hard ice you dont want to try stuff cause if you spin off axis and fall you will shatter a bone entirely.

 

[PeterWojnar]

ummmmmmm. no.

 

[Malcolm]

sounds like fun

 

[SteezyOhio]

loads of fun, ever been on a chair lift where the ride up is 3 times as long as the ride down? its a whole new element to skiing

 

[Malcolm]

are you sure we dont ski at the same mountain?

 

[SteezyOhio]

yes, see you called it a mountain, its more of a umm hill haha

 

[McChuggage]

it really has gotten so insane but i think the way its gonna go is that at a certain point skiers are going to start to focus on getting more steezy and smooth like Wallisch

 

[daytripper67]

whats really crazy is how rails have progressed. ive never been able to cork 9 in the pipe, but take any movie from like 7 years ago and i can do all the rails. nowadays its just so gnarly

 

[traylortrash]

I was actually just thinking about that from watching the Refresh teaser.... 7 years ago people would have been absolutely blown away by the tech on urbans in Refresh or Everyday is a Saturday.And I completely agree with the op.

 

[titsLOL]

no never, the lifts out here go 40 miles per hour up the hill! so rad!

 

[MEGAZORD]

Park will become spin to win aerials, but like someone said, pow will still be cool.

 

[cbalkman]

Exactly.

 

[chickenwang]

or even more awsome, think about how the way ski technology has changed pow skiing in just the past two years

 

[ajax]

I like where your head is at Dave

 

[murs]

i no right its blowing up oldschool

 

[PopsicleStand]

such righteous words

 

[DR.SHRED]

amen

 

[Tinga]

debbie downer over here.

 

[bpalmer]

[.Emerson.]
