The Progression

Maybe it's just me and maybe I'm saying this too soon but I was thinkin today, and I feel like the sport of freestyle skiing has progressed A LOT in the past couple years. I mean just think about 5 years ago and think how different it is today. Think about how many more kids you see on twin tips these days compared to 5 years ago. The difficulty and technicallity of tricks today would be mind blowing 5 yrs. ago. Something like a switch 10 wouldve had the whole hill talkin, and today people are sick of seeing em. At this rate theres no stopping this sport or denying it and it's only a matter of time before we're watching skiing halfpipe in the olympics.

Pretty soon we are going to be skibasejumping from on sick line without an ending onto a rail in a park, cork 430 out onto the run in for a 180 kick and switch 1440 slow tail trucker landing and then doing a pond skim.

i just like how when you look at older skiers today, most of em have straight skis and go .5473 mph down the hill. When our generation are in the old peoples shoes it'l be a whole different story
