The guy is doin switch doubles off regular/small park jumps. He could probley hit a triple off like a JOI jump with a little practice.
as i stated somewhere in this thread, i am not a friend of the idea of throwing triples. but i remember in the fog of my mind reading the exact same thing about doubles like 2/3 or somewhat years ago, if sum1 finds a matching thread about doubles, please post it....
i would say, that we all can hate or not on triples, but someone will bring them to skiing in a steezy way and it will just become normal, just like doubles are today. like it or not, but it will def happen and the first triple cork will drop all our jaws to unexpected depths of the vast ocean
Does anybdy else actually read ski mags? Go read some articles, they'll tell you what's happening. Almost every interview I've read includes something about skiing, filming especially, moving towards creativity, not towards bigger tricks. People are saying that they feel the physical limits are essentially reached, and now it's time to dumb it down into style, more creative features, and more creative filming/editing.
the whole style thing is maybe a little overrated in this context. everyone can throw steezy 3s or 5s on a 75 ftr. and tons of people can do cork 3s,5s,flats,etc. that look great, so the "pro" status will suffer more and more if people "stop" progressing and turn back to smaller tricks.
and i am reading articles, and when there was an article about jumpopotamus in laax (the "JOI"-kicker of 2004/5 or whenever it was), martin misof who pulled a cleanly grabbed sw 12 (and was the only one if i am right to spin that high back then on this jump) stated that he cant think that people could go for a clean 14 even on a kicker thats as big as phisically possible...
so we've all seen tjs sw 14, and it was sick, recently henrik came up with that sw 16, which was, at least it looked like, thrown on a jump nothing bigger than 65~70 ft. and you cant say that it was as clean as such a high spin can be.
so taking that into account, there is a chance that we are seeing smooth triples that everyone will like on the this or next years supersessions, like JOI, candide or whenever
^^^ Smooth, yes. Super stylie and steezy? Probably not as much.
a triple wouldn't look as cool as it sounds.
be nar bar bro
Took less than 2 years haha
He wanted to attempt a triple 1440...but the weather and winds didn't allow it to happen. This is after Sammy and Bobby already stomped their's but still.
