yeah for me no problem. but i seriously dont think that all those young kids will be able to enjoy this sport like i have been 11/12 years ago. yes, our equipment was worse, parks were less developed, but it was just all about the fun. now, its "training", like "yo guys, we all gonna do a 360 now".
its obviously generalized, but thats the trend around here. treating the sport exactly like any other competitive sport. try to produce talents as ski clubs, comps, comps, comps, pressure to perform. thats not how i see skiing.
dont get me wrong, a lot of stuff got better, for me personally, no issue, but there are obvious downsides to the whole development of skiing.
