all we are saying is that its becoming way too boring if everything is about the 1080s .. the judging system shouldnt be only about how hard the certain trick was

"Everybody claims that they want skiing to be new and unique, yet all we do is spin 10's. Why does nobody have the guts to go against the grain?

I mean why didn't we just go with FIS in the first place if everyone just wants it to be a comp of how perfect you can do your sw 10... like fuck people... we're losing our "revolution" here."

Mr.Bishop like 3 minutes ago.
This is why we need to bash.

You're totally wrong.

The point is that no matter how good a sw 10 is, a sw 7 on the same jump can be WAY more stylish. It rotates slower and is much harder to keep together.

The simple fact is that everyone in our sport has been bitching about style being important for so long, yet when there's a comp it's all "OH THAT TRICK WAS HARDER" If we're truly freeskiers, and believe in style then we should give a chance to varying tricks.

Elsewise we should just go back to aerials judging and simply judge "form" as they call it. That means it's how much better different people do the same trick.

I'll bash whatever the fuck i want, they cut slopestyle for big air when they could have postponed it, and they cut the first half of the skiing FINALS for snowcross QUALIFYING

as soon as slopestyle was canceled i knew this site was going to go bonkers. the funniest thing is that a good majority of the kids talking shit about a comp (big air) that was doomed to restrict creativity from its conception will never be able to do a switch 10.

you saw schillers interview. he didnt say he was excitded. he said "i hope everything will go well in the pipe and i hope next year we can have a slopestyle competion with good speed on a sunny day."

but you know what, so he had to throw a switch 10 to win x games. another accomplishment, more money and definitley some wild sex on very expensive aspen colorado linens tonight

just mellow out and watch the skiing.

ill agree with you but...

as time goes on, a fakie 1440 will look just as good as a slow rotated truckdriver 7.

the tricks will have the same style, but obviously the 1440 is a harder trick.

just my two cents (canadian at least)

shut the fuck up...everyone is tired of seeing sw 10's and i agree...i went nuts when that dude threw the double backflip, and even candides daffy 180 over the landing of the box was sweet compared to Sw 10 after sw 10 after sw 10

A big air competition when you have that many skiiers that good is doomed. They're all gonna be doing the best possible trick off that jump

i agree with the idea that it was better than nothing. but if you are going to talk about difficulty...what about natie vs unnatie? you can spin 2 ways as i remember?

well, for the most part people need to stop bashing, but it is lame that they cancelled slopestyle. There were a ton of other options, besides bashing the x-games though people have to stop bashing bode. It's only helping him, the best thing to do is shut up about bode. He won the world cup and was a superstar, then everyone forgot about him, he figured, what can I do to get people to remember me, and he figured pulling a paris hilton and saying something retarted would do it, all the attention is what he is looking for, so just leave bode alone, and the whole thing about the x games is lame, and skiers should do something about it
