Skiing should fade out grabs and move towards more spins. We should start doing double and triple flips with spins. I would like to see a 1440 or 1620. It seems like we are going backwards with skiers doing "corked" 540s in stead of trying to rotate more. By spinning less we are moving away from progression.

Skiers go big enough now that a 1440 would look sweet. I say they should go for it.

Man grabs are progression because you just raised the bar, you make a hard trick even harder. Anyone can wrap till they frap. when you through in switch and grabs that equals=skill...

I think freschies has been an alias forever, yet I also think his opinion is right even know he was screwin around. I can't imagine anything sicker then like a triple backflip, that was stylish on a semi steep jump that lobs you like 140 ft. It would be sick. Or like a cork 1440crossed up and muted in the BC on a big jump, way sick.

I think we should start jumping in the park, with all the snowboarders, and then spin on our skis, now i know this souds crazy, but we could call a full spin a 360, and if were good enough, we could even make a move called 720, for two full spins, dont you think?

who the fuck cares about progression what ever happend to just skiing, it seems like everyone is always conserned with "progression" yet 90 percent of the people on this site will never be good enough to progress the sport anyfurthur anyways. Everyone should just have fun and let things progress on there own but Im pretty sure and I hate to say it skiings hit a ceiling just like snowboarding has, theres almost no room to do anything new

and thats my rant
