Go watch a fucking olympic aerials video and compare it to any of the trip corks being thrown on these big booters by guys like Schlopy and Bobby Brown. Completely fucking different. I love how kids these days are like ohhh I'd so much rather see a sick 5 or cork 7 than a triple. If you want to see a fucking 5 or 7 in a comp, GO WATCH WOMEN'S SKIING. Progression is good. There will always be a time and a place for sick style and steezey blunt 5's, but I personally think that dubs and trips are sick.
This post wasn't really directed at you, but I'm kind of drunk and needed to voice my opinion, so yours seemed like a good one to quote.
