Ski Superpipe in 2019 is Bullshit

[@LANTASKI]

Where is the Goddamn amplitude ? I’m being bored to sleep here . Never forget 2003-2007 when the boys were boosting 25 ft out of the pipe first hit

More evidence to show how skiing has regressed since circa 2008

"22 feet"

"22 feet"

Well they just mean the size of the pipe. 22ft is just what a "super pipe" is

Skiing certainly isn't regressing.

Maybe the rate of progressiveness and/or development is regressing, but the sport isn't.

Sad that these comp venues are struggling to prep good courses. Didnt this happen last year where one of the walls wasnt cut properly?

Haven’t watched a super pipe contest in my life so what is this all about?

 

[Dropbombs8]

torin is hurt so there was no need to watch anyways haha

 

[Hansel9001]

Pipe is boring. Slopestyle has just as much variation as the backcountry. Pipe is the same every time

I like to think Newschoolers didn't embed them directly in the article as a protest. Shit was week.

Here is a side by side from 2007 with Tanner to 2010 Kevin Rolland and 2019 Alex Ferreira:

You can definitely tell heights have gone down and guys just dont send it down the pipe like they used to.

Anybody that thinks pipe has regressed is a fucking retard.

this isn't a fair comparison because one of them is ski boss

 

[firecrotch]

we need wabs to come swerve down the pipe next year

Yeah ngl I don’t see any huge differences between any of these 3. Height, spin complexity, style all seem similar at least to me.

Accept Tanner wasn't even really going big there. Not a great example to hinge your point off of.

 

[stove]

the real travesty is that the highlight reels are no longer blaring jams like this:

As Xgames has aged, it’s lost some heavy weight sponsors! Taco Bell, Navy and Jeep all left.

I was just watching xgames highlights this morning and I didnt even recognize the companies sponsoring. Some haircut company and hifi or lofi?

If that makes you feel better on an internet forum I guess?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or if you're just blind...

It’s main 4 sponsors are a financial company, The Real Cost, a haircut business, and Wendy’s. What do they have to do with skiing?

Friendly spelling correction in the most basic sense. Neither here nor there

True. I never re read anything and fairly regularly slip in an "alternative" spelling or just straight fuck up some grammar. Sometimes I notice as I type it. Sometimes I don't. Yolo and stuff.

Thinking I ought to change my username to Grammarpolice, so that it’s less confusing when I make suggestions. Semicolons are way I need to find a balance; it could be seen as overboard to be that critical of grammar on such a forum.

Stfu about all this nonsense you pussies and let’s get back on topic . XGames Pipe 2003 was the zenith of our sport

 

[BagOTricks]

TYW wasn't competing. He's the only sendy pipe skier left, and he's constantly hurt.. These huge spins + huge amplitude is an extremely dangerous combo... But I agree, amplitude is fun to watch.

 

[Park_Ranger]

I just hope that Taylor Seaton is able to ride in pipe comps forever

 

[Park_Ranger]

Also really miss when Jossi used to compete in pipe

Jeep is a huge sponsor....there’s 2 jeeps on the slope course, and they literally had a Jeep rubicon/obstacle course contest this year.

Blindness confirmed.

Jeep is not apart of their main sponsor group. Read when it says “presented by”

How the fuck is jeep not a main sponsor? They made my screen half the fucking size it actually is so they could put a jeep boarder around it hald the time. If jeep isn't a main sponsor they are getting more out of it than anyone else because that's the only sponsor i remember.

i miss when peter olenick was a force to be reckoned with

I miss JPV

Dude...

Xgames Aspen is brought to you by: SoFi, The Real Cost, Great Clips, Wendy’s. It’s what’s shown during intro and outros of commercial breaks. I could end this all right now but NewSchooler’s doesn’t let us post screenshots.

I bet jeep paid more than all those companies. Jeeps everywhere > mentioning a name before a commercial break. At least i would think, or hope because jeeps the only sponsor i could name of i had to.

I didn’t notice the stuff in the background. I was watching the rider in the center of the camera wearing a jersey that doesn’t say Jeep on it anymore.
