BC booters and progression

alright, everyone says that BC booters are progression, but i dont see it that way. they are just bigger jumps with softer landings than those in the park. the pros follow 2 tracks all the way to the lip of the kicker and then when they land they hike and do it again. progression is seth morrison's rodeo 7 off a cliff. that is the true fusion of park and big mountain, but no one else is doing that (or if they are, they arent getting any publicity on it). this is where the park rats are separted from the true all around skiers. just my 2 cents

Yeah alot of pro's go into the backcountry to learn new things. Like every other sport, people want to try new tricks in a reliable environment so that fucking up dosent mean death. This is true in skateboarding or in motocross when they land in Foam Pads. The backcountry to me is a 'Foam Pad'. You can go bigger and faster and learn the tricks you wanta learn , then take them into the park. For me though the backcountry is more fun than any park out there.

the 180s and zero spins off of cliffs are what im talking about; thats progression because it requires you to be able to ski a line. but rodeos and misties and corks off cliffs are going to be the next big thing, because people will realize that being a park rat is only so cool

a jump of a cliff would be progression as well in my opinion, youd still have to ski lines with a jump so it kicks you out, not just dropping down anymore

yeah but you dont even need a jump before a cliff. Just hucking off a regular cliff is cool enough.

I've never hit a cliff before (dont have them in W.V) but when I do I think I'll be good at tricks off them cuz I do alot of cliff diving in the summertime I can throw pretty much anything I know theres a difference though cuz u can stop and think about it on the edge int he summer and on a winter cliff ur moving and cant really set it up as easily

if progression just means doing something people haven't before, then how is doing a completely new trick off a BC booter not progressing.

umm... BC booters are progression fucktard. They're not progression when it's just a straight booter but if they set them up in a unique way like a huge stepup or super-long quarterpipe or something it's definetly progression. Not to mention they're going bigger than they are in the park.

Did I mention that it's a lot harder to land fakie in pow? Cause.. yeah, it is.

I don't know about you but I like watching skiing. I watch BC booters and smooth park stuff. It's all nice too me. As long as its smooth is good, I don't think about whether the ski is ' progressing' or being a well rounded skier or not.

haha its funny that u say that b/c isnt harder then park, maybe on backflips and frontflips. Besides straight flips, everything is harder. Spinning, Landing, and style. If u land at all on your toes in teh backcountrys you are in some serious shit, possibly spinal ingerys, its probley one of the worst whipeouts u could have and in the park u would be perfectly fine. Cork 7s are 10x easyer on groomed tables then off of a b/c booter. you need to get out and ski the whole mtn more if u think in anyway powder is easyer then park

ya stevexs2's got the idea, the progression of bc has a lot to do with the jumps. you can do whatever you want out there. i mean look at the creative jumps candide has built. you aren't gonna find those jumps in parks. also this 180 stuff. at the curent moment, it is seeming pretty tough and ugly. but maybe one day we will see switch cork 10's in the bc. i think switch landings in pow will be more common in the future. but only time will tell

i think progression of the sport is more urban kickers and road gaps

bc booters are a hell of a lot more progressive than most things in skiing right now(cliff drops being the exception) in a few years guys will be soaring 150+ feet in the bc 30 feet above the ground and doing a d-10 with crap piles of style. ohh yeah, and your gonna tell me the ice crevasse segment in front line wasnt progressive? pep and douglas used booters to gap a fuckin like 70foot wide 100foot+ deep ice crevasse.

i think i think i like it like thata
