Anybody else think the Fischer Jibskate is silly?

I was cruising around and ran into the Jibskate. I guess there is a new wave of extreme cross-country skiing and they made a ski for it. It just seems dumb to me.
check out the webpage on it.

if you click on "What is Jibskate?" it has a ridiculous list of tricks you can do, for example a half cab mute grab. it doesn't say anything about corked spins or safety grabs so i guess you are not allowed to do those.

Andy Newell is currently the hottest Nordic skier in the US not only because he’s the US sprint champion, on the US ski team, and headed for the Torino Olympics in Italy, but he’s also a master of big air on Fischer Jibskates. Andy has been Fischer’s top Jibskate tester and he kinda likes ‘em. When Newell isn’t competing for top places in Nordic racing, you’ll find him going big in terrain parks pulling giant back flips and switch cork 540’s. He tends to dominate our photo gallery and makes his own Nordic movies where he’s been known to throw in a few big air shots. You can purchase his movies and check out his latest news at www.xskifilms.com.

i can not actually believe that people are doing this.....thats just ridiculously lame......just wait for urban xc.......

i jsut dont see the point, if you're gunna dotricks on skis buy twin tips. CC skis are made going fast on flats. leave the jumps for the down, they would have been wise to have just spend their money making better twins.

dude, if i saw someone pull a sw-cork 5 on xc skis i would think it was the sickest thing ever, thats like the ultimate of people not listening to others and just doing their own thing.
