Who can catch me up on the past 3 years of skiing?

it's now super cool to wear a baseball hat (snap back) with a balaclava and sunglasses. no matter how retarded it makes you look, or how far from functional it is.
 
wtf is this shit???

triples

Olympics

future spins

make what you will of it.

also on a serious note, many tragic deaths since 2009.
 
tripples

doubles in evrything

most of NS wants to lick B & E cocks

bobby brown thinks every jump sesh is the best of his life

stept movies got very very good

toy soldier productions are amazing

tom wallish dominated comps this session

everyone loves TC

Tanner is back, won NZ open

people hate first drop because of "last friday"

torin yater wallice is very good at pipe & future spins

torin did a 1800

hendrik did a nose butter dub

trannys have become everything in urban

 
Jon Olsson is still racing.

Tanner is still talking in caps.

Heath is still around.

Mattman is not.

Everyone has a handful of double flips in their bag.

A good number of skiers have a triple.

Mute grabs are out.

Tail grabs are in.

Goggles are gigantic.

Look up tranny finding.
 
Also I forgot to mention, this is a little known fact but you know how Jon Ollson used to have (and presumably still does have) sweet ass cars? Today's superstars have rocket cars. They try to keep it on the down low though cause rocket fuel ain't cheap and more and more people are all "environmental."
 
sean petit, bobby brown is still the best park skier, thall is coming back to comps this year, there is no more line elizabeth, hellbents are still the same, gus kenworthy did a dub off a box, a few triple corks have been done, gopro, for some reason safari hats are cool, tall tees are going away, park rats started wearing outerwear. that's basically all
 
Finally.

Tall-ish outerwear looks fine I think but those longass tees never really looked good... always flappin in the wind n shit
 
3 years, not 6.

stale fishies, lobsters, butter future spins, tight pants, shuffles, taps, tripleees, surf swaps, closeouts, trannies, winches, redirects, grabs on rails/one footers, not being mocked and laughed at, sloooooooowmo
 
Tweaked safetys everywhere

Stept movies are getting better and better

Candide came back with a sick ass movie which is premiering (not sure if that's a word) right now

Tanner came back, got dropped by Red Bull, won NZ Open next day or so

Everybody wants to be like Henrik and Phil

Salomon is dying

Coreupt is bankrupt

Shredsauce

It's cool to hate everybody who does future spins except Tom Wallisch

Nosebutter Dub

Triples

Dub of a box

Screamin Semen on the way back

One foots on rails

Grabs on rails

Lots of butters

Also the death of not few
 
future spins get you $$$$

oh and splice

 
stalefish = right hand reaching past blunt to outside edge (sort of tindy position) of left ski, or vice versa.

lobster = one of the names given for the "method" grab or tweaked safety that's really popular and alternatively, the name of the dub Henrik's doing (lobster flip) where it looks like a flat 3-5 into a weird belly down, head down towards the landing sort of bioish flattish mind fuck.

trannies = a near 90 degree meeting of a wall or other surface meeting the ground where someone basically angles skis and body to ride the wall surface to the ground and shifts weight and ski position to "absorb" the transition to the ground. Sometimes there's a built up little pile of snow that makes the angle a bit less harsh. It's also anytime someone finds a way to transfer downward momentum to the horizontal, such as in hitting a jump and landing on the side of the landing, or hitting a rail and instead of landing to flat, landing on a sloping surface. Basically, you know it when you see it, and if you watch any movies with urban from this year, you saw it.

redirects = a wallride where instead of hitting it parallel, or with a takeoff that launches parallel to the wall or surface, the takeoff sends you directly into the wall (stept and B&E also like big ass redwoods) and you rideaway back towards the direction you took off from. So, instead of basically doing a "sideways wall grind" like wallrides of yesteryear, it's like slamming into a wall and absorbing the impact with lower body and ski bases and traveling back the way you came from.
