Jesper Tjäder has ruined skiing

[tac0.slayer]

Every time I see a thread like this, the same scenario plays through my head.....

(Random Bro)- "Yo (insert big name comp skier), you going to try that Quad today you had Redbull build the perfect jump for? How about that future spin you were talking about yesterday?"

(Big name comp skier)- "Nah man screw that, I wouldn't want to ruin the progression of skiing. I heard some kids on Newschoolers talking about it the other day. I think I'll just stick to nosebutters and cork 3s......"

My point is like how do you expect someone not to do it? Why should a professional athlete not strive to achieve the pinnacle of performance?

Like should every professional skier be required to smoke copious amounts of weed and stop training, so that they could achieve a fluid style like Henrik??

Well let me be completely honest. I downvoted you, you are objectively wrong about this, and devaluing the free part of freeskiing. Let people do whatever the fuck they want. This edit was creative, dangerous and cool as fuck. Just like Stept, just like B&E, just like real skifi. Why do you feel like you have the right to tell people how to ski in any way? Just because you aren't as stoked on a fucking cork 9 switch up as you are on a tailpress back 2, doesn't mean that Jesper is wrong to push the sport in his direction.

People said the same things about switch 10's and the same thing about double corks, but now people are doing them in incredibly stylish and creative ways. Let the sport progress how it's going to progress, and if you're not actively progressing the sport yourself, then shut the fuck up.

yo you were absolutely right. My thoughts are completely opposite of what I used to think regarding this. I take back everything I said.

Yes.

If Jesper made a real ski edit this year he would've easily gotten second and maybe could've gotten gold with the right cameraman and creativity.

The stuff Jesper does shits on all the gay hipster copying gay hipsters in skateboarding shit the bunch does.. he's nick Goeper with creativity and with out the all American douche bag attitude.. I personally don't love the tech stuff he does but in all seriousness the guy is a fucking creative machine with a skill set similar to Candide .. that double backflip transfer at 9 nights 2 years ago was seriously next level..
