Rail skiing is just a fad

ever take the time to reflect on railing skiing? there is only so much skiers can do, and the only progression left will have to tap into rollerblading for inspiration.

great point.
Thread Creator- i am baffled by how you can even say urban rails are boring. they are all so different. like sure eventually they will run out of tricks but there always different or bigger rails. multiple urban rails in a row. bomb drop then down ledge like in refresh. just use your imagination.

You sound like one of those pompous douchy people who thinks that he is more real at something than other people.
Sorry that we can't all live at mountains with nice jumps or powder. All I had last year at my mountain were rails and banana jumps on the sides of the runs, maybe little knolls. If I wanted to hit jumps I had to travel to another mountain. Know one is telling you to enjoy rails, but you don't have to hate on people who do.

There no way that freestyle skiing can just be a fad if it has existed for more then 10 years.. most fads die out in a matter of no time. i never then progression will die down, people will just find new styles/ways of skiing and it will develope even furthur from that.

I dont think it's just a fad really, but it does get somewhat boring to watch even now. it's going to get so ridiculous that it's going to be stupid. i mean whats left to do, flip on flip off, 20 switch ups. I would like to see rail skiing revert somewhat to like big long rails. to much ballarina shit going on on rails these days.

The first time you see a hippy killer, it blows your mind. But things get boring after that. No one can tell where the progression is headed. But the day that skiing becomes something only for gapers to watch on their computer is the day that we will see shinanagins on rails. Hopefully the sport can still be about what the skier wants to ski, not what people want to watch.

I think of rails as the current Ballet.
