I think it rocks so hard that they are replacing big air with slopestyle and superpie! finally people will see how much better skiing is than anything else out there! big air was cool but the judging was always controversial or just plain sucked

peace, pat
the snow is comin!

First of all it is funny that people with 1000's of posts are telling someone with 7 he needs to find new things to do with his time.

I am relatively new to freeskiing and even newer to NS, so i was curious what issues were being talked about before I got into the sport. I thought it was interestign that 5 years ago people (or at least this one skier) were pumped to see slopestyle comps becasue they were tired of big air. Considering that this years x-games regressed back to what he was so glad to see changed, i thought it was especially relevent. Even though the x-games was only big air due to the weather, you still see a lot of just big air comps.
I feel the spin to win debate is partially a continuation of the big air vs. slopestyle debate that was going on 5 years ago. I'm curious what people think of this.

slopestyle shows the limits that skiing can be pushed to witha varity of features, whereas spinning isnt has entertaining for the person watching it cuz to them it all looks the same
