Poor judging holds back progression

skiing needs more expierenced judges... until judges start recongizing the technical shit that goes down, skiers will continue to pull the same shit to win contests, switch 1080s. most local contests or even major contests dont have judges that recognize the technical shit that goes down especially on rails with unnaty switchups, unnaty spins or nollies. when judges give comps to the kid who spins the most why would anyone try anything else??

what judging needs is a good balance between technicality and style. the problem starts when you ask which trick is better? a super stylie switch cork 5 tail, or a hucked cab 10? sure unnatty switchups and spins are technical, but style needs more attention too. its freestyle skiing... its right in the name.
