The revolution of the Urban Booter

What I saw in Ogded Utah over the weeked was the sickest fucking thing I have in the long time. The jump was scetchy as hell. The run in was only
40 feet long, the jump was about six feet tall, and the landing ramp was small as shit, yet three crazy fuckers were thowing Backs, Fronts, Spins, Mistys,Corks and all kinds of shit. I overheard a group of pros in front of me say that there was not enough money to make them jump it. Yet three guys nobody has ever heard of stepped up.

As if it was not crazy enough, the rain storm made it even more scetch. The run in was so gummed up from the rain that the first guy only went about 3 feet, but he still threw a fucking back and stuck it. After about 5 hits, the run in got faster and they started going about 20 feet. These guys had no way of knowing how big they were going to go from one jump to the next, yet they were throwing shit anyway. The crowd of about 500 was going fucking crazy. The four wheeler was accelerating them so fast, it looked like their arms were going to get ripped off. I still can't fucking believe it.

A guy in the crowed got his head split open 3 inchs from the whip of the tow in rope. It was total anarchy, Motor Oil, Motor Cycles, Water, Wood, Blood, and now regard for safety, everything newschooler stands for. We are all about breaking down boundries, and DNA and those three crazy fuckers broke down a big one.

I have heard that they already have 4 major sponcers for next year. I also have heard that next year will be a full on contest with a $10,000 purse for the winner, or should I say surviver. I also have heard that DNA is already building next years jump and it is going to be 4 times the size with a 100 yard run in. I never thought I would say this but I am little excited for next summer. Here is a video "unfuckingbelievable!"

"I overheard a group of pros in front of me say that there was not enough money to make them jump it."

ok, pro skiers have things called "knees", and they care about them... they are not going to risk blowing out a knee on a makeshift booter to please maybe a hundred spectators

give that props? people want to know why there isnt as much money in skiing as there is in snowboarding and other mainstream action sports... its for reasons like that! that is probably one of the biggest wastes of money ive ever seen... they could have used that money to make a sick handrail or soemthing... but instead they make a jump thats about 5 ft big and makes skiing look like rollerblading. isnt that what we are trying to steer clear of?

it was on the spot, it was urban, it was intense, it was sketchy, it was cheap(2x4's setup was 200-300 max, not much for a company like DNA), it was fun, it was snow-less, it was exposure, it was unlawful it was gnarly, it was unique. things we want to steer clear of? I dont think so.

if you guys saw a snowboarder doing a 3.5 foot backflip or a 1.5 foot 180, there would be a post about how stupid it was... we are stepping on our own feet here on this one...

im afraid you are overlooking the cons of the situation, matt. yes. it was unique... sure, doing a 3.5 ft backflip on wood is gnarly.... but so is doing a one footer on rollerblades down a 10 stair handrail... but does that make it look good? does that make it cool? no...

if i saw a snowboarder hit a sketchy ass set up in the middle of an asphalt street with no snow around and an atv tow in, id think it was incredible and id be saying "they beat us again." size of the tricks regardless, this is what skiing is about (or as i see it), being innovative as hell and always trying to ski, even when its seemingly impossible. sure you can say oh that was hucked, it was lame, whatever. the point is, how was he supposed to go any bigger or have anymore fun when there is no snow around? i guess they could have done the same old urban rail jam, but would it have been as much fun? as crazy? would there have been so many amped spectators? what they did was unique and crazy. yea it was small, but its what they had to work with and they made the best of it.

^^see i disagree with you there too though, i think one footers on skates or skis can look dope as hell. i mean if the kid is all ninja kicking it then its lame, but when giray dadali one footed the rainbow rail at mt snow, it was ill. if its a small little movement and not all crazy, one footers are incredibly sick.

the money they used for that could go into an urban rail jam.... on a real handrail for example... something that would allow the skiers to showcase progression and talent... rather than a half-brained huck fest. I would much rather see an urban downflatdown comp where skiers are spinning on, spinning in the middle, and spinning off... than a 5 ft jump where people are landing on their asses doing 180s... to me that just seems stupid.

but how many times has an urban rail jam gone down?
several trillion times id say. this was just completly unique, way out there. they could have done an urban jam im sure, but i dont think there would have been the same shock or awe value. everyone has seen people do urban rails before. nobody had ever seen anything like that before.

i actually think some people might want to try skiing after that, some little kid trying to be all hardass and being a punk snowboarder might see that and think "wow, maybe i should ski, those guys kickass" but then again thats not what the sport really needs anyways.

first thing, nobody said you couldn't have your own opinion, you just have to be ready to argue when people argue.

secondly,
don't you think there could be something more creative than that? Think man, there are so many options. there could be new rail set ups, there could be Bigger than that urban jumps, like the one taking place in San Fransico.......what about a bomb drop contest? all those are 1000000 times better for skiing because people would be like, oh weird, thats creative as shit and they are going big and doing something crazy. that jump on the other hand was SO SMALL! SO INSIGNIFICANT! not that creative if you ask me. Nothing progressed the sport of skiing during that event. There were no new tricks thrown, no new nothing. dryslope has already been invented and ridden a lot, that to me was just a small ass dryslope jump.

And the thing about the pros not wanting to hit it? like timboskier said, they don't want to get injured on something insignificant that will be forgotten 20 minutes after the event happens. they would much rather go out and do something crazy that people will be talking about for a long time and be liek "oh dude, did you see Tony Toughnuts Pro Guy hit that crazy creative progressive whateveritwas" Nobody will even remember that stupid jump besides you.

but i do agree with you that the kids hitting it should not have anything taken away from them because they were out there having a good time. but the event as a whole, blew.

such a bad idea on so many levels, but the people who hit it definitely had balls. I would have said get some ice rink snow and make a mini jump if it had to be a jump, but motor oil and death wood works i guess...

Did anyone read about the plans for next year. That shit was just a prototype, the first time it was ever done. And if you ask me it turned out hella good for only having one week of preparation.

The first one for the people who built it. They had no previous knowledge of how to built one, and ultimately it turned out as their first prototype

that jump was smaller than most people of my culture.

and you said in there that they are going to compete for a $10,000 purse. How feminine.

I do not think it was a step back or a waste or anything bad for the sport of skiing. It looked like some kids made something out of nothing and had a good ass time doing it. Yeah it looks kinda little but you would'nt see me hitting it, I enjoy it when kids go out a huck themselves in sketchy situations, it provides entertainment, good show boys.

Skiing on snow is getting so old school.

Damn, why do they always have to make set-ups that are not only stupid but also really dangerous.

I dont think those guyz had a lot of fun killing theirs knees and ripping their arm jumping on sucjh a stupid set up. They might be good skier but I do think they jumped on that just top prove something or to get visibility. I mean common, if that shit is still consideratedf as skiing, I think we should call rollerbladers skiers too.

I dunno man, if you wanna set up a jump, at least use snow form ice rink or use some chopped ice. Nowthat would cost a bit more and be a bit more complicated but at least, that could be a bit safer.
