Replying to Rails, whats the hype about?

I think rails suck, dont get me wrong they're fun and all, but they suck. Woop dee doo, lets see who can spin around the most. Switch up after switch up gets annoying. Rails are getting to be maxed out. Everyone and their mother can 270, 450, pretzel ect, aslong as you put in a good few days into it. Sure rails could get longer/more gnar ect but theres nothing much innovative being done these days. I see potential in nose/tail press but after that where can it go? Its just more spinning and hopping. Vanular and the flatspins are dope sure, but thats a rare case. Urban is a different story tho. Urban is gnar and has crazy potential but honestly, the summer setups with a 1/2 foot patch of slush for a landing and people decked out in full ski gear is lame.

Why is it that rails are such a big part of skiing today? Ive seen hundreds of videos posted here where kids who can 270 pretzel, 450, switch this and that on any rail yet have troubble landing a 540 and look like shit doing it. Why is it that people put so much more effort into getting good at rails than actually learning how to jump/ski properly?

Oh and stop posting videos of your back yard 270s off. They suck and nobody wants to see it.
