Replying to NS> is progressing the sport like crazy
Its my belief that this site is responsible for the progression skiing has been awarded in the last few seasons. In the old days we had to wait a whole year before we could see the lastest tricks, and the majority of our influences came from our local hill. Now we have the chance to relate to the entire community 24/7 and can see what kids on the east coast are doing, what the west coast killas are doin and what those crazy fucking scandys are up to. We can take bits and pieces of those images, realize what can be done on the dub planks and then incorporate that into our own personal style and skill level. For the most part this is a good thing, i mean the pretzel was pretty much born on the vid section, but we can also see the negative aspects like generic conformity of style across the entire community, i mean look at the truck driver nose banger, one of the worst things to happen to style since brad holmes, all aroused by a couple pics and vids of kids doin them.
so i guess im trying to say use this site for inspiration but dont force your style to look like the hottest bangers cause other wise skiing loses something.
