Im wondering how u think how much farther can the sport of skiing be pushed? i know there were other threads about this but i searched and couldnt find. I'm doing this for a class project.

Just think 10 years ago 1080s and sliding rails were fucking amazing... now Rodeo 450s on and dj flips?

Just look at seth morrison, there is another thread about him going around saying will there ever be another seth? He throws insanely huge. He threw that huge dub font off that 150ft cliff and broke a rib cause of the impact, but he landed txt book but still broke a rib. and Jamie huckign a 250ft cliff.. thats like jumping off the 25th floor of a building.

Go to top rated vids and look at the 12 year old kids absolutly showing up most 18 yr olds. What will happen when they are 18 and throwing down?

To be able to take these HUGE landing u have to be built huge. For any on here that are, what are ur workout ruitnes?

Tell me what u think is going to happen to the sport. whats going on now, and what people will have to do to keep up with the progression of the sport.

it has gone as far as it can possibly go, and now it is in decline.

skiing has gone really far but i think it will extend into different areas.  buttering and hand drags can go a lot further.  i think the tricks that have already been created will become more perfected with different forms of grabs.  the jumps will projlly not get much bigger but they will find a way to make the same table have a jump that gives you more air.  it will be pushed further but not as quickly as it has been.

freestyle skiing back in the day was inverts and moguls. with all the double flips going on it proves that skiing will go back to its roots.

maybe it could progress in the domain of art and expression and subtlety.

Skiing can still progress a lot. Look at the photography and videography in snowboarding. It's so much better. The jumps can still get a lot bigger. There was a what? 43m jump that Mani Malone or Shaba Cru I forget who they are. But the biggest at JOSS was like 30m so the jumps can keep getting bigger. The tricks and spins can still get more hucked or more steezier whatever route you want to go.

If you doubt that skiing can be pushed any farther, just take a look at skateboarding, the levels they are at right now is inhumane, and although there are limitations to skiing (ie no kickflips, etc) there is so much that hasnt been done. I am yet to see a nosepress to tailpress switchup. I think itd be cool, I can't do it though, so maybe daewon song should learn to ski.

I just think jumps will continue to get bigger and bigger like they have been.  What i'd like to see is more originality on rails, spots, and such

That's really all that's left...anything more technical and we could have athletes throwing down in aerial comps.

I really wanna see feature design progress. I've seen a lot of really dope features over the last year but things are starting to get stall on that front. Part of that is clearly risk and shit, but I wanna see some creativity from the hills in public parks. More shit styled like those DC custom runs.
