Dudes, in terms of technicality wise, skiing is already loosing ground. I mean the guys who have been in freeskiing awhile will agree with me. What started off as 360s quickly evolved to like 1260's, and double backflips, switch backflips, stuff like that. Now, in movies it is rare to see anyone go inverted. Don't you remember Tanner killing the big air comps years back. Kid went undefeated for like two years straight what did he throw...a switch rodeo like every fucking time. Now all everyone throws is cab 10's. Skiing is definittely moving more towards "style", which is subjective.... maybe some people think going bigger is more stylie. I don't know. All i do know is that the tricks in skiing are losing the danger that used to be involved with them, and leaning more towards being smooth. It seems like these days noone even has the desire to throw switch rodeos, or double backflips.
