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.

it's like when people bitch about "too much pow shots" in the videos...

I think it was 91 Words for Snow (could be wrong) where Nicolas Muller was talking about expectations, and what kind of riding he SHOULD be doing vs WANTS to to doing...

Freeskiing has always been about free expression. If some people like risks and challenges and find it cool to to triples, why should they be told off by some amateurs on NS? That's ridiculous.

It's all about whether things like triples become necessary for the skier in order to be respected or to be called a real "freeskier". If that's not the case, triples are perfectly fine.

Also, freeskiing ≠ steeze. A hucked triple doesn't have to be less free spirited than a steezy double. Maybe less pleasant to watch, but that's
1) in the eye of the beholder
2) usually a trend that fades off after a couple of years. In the 80s, they thought that spandex wearing aerial skiers were the coolest persons on earth. And I can see why.

This is the fact of the matter. Yes styley tricks are sweet but with the way skiing is going.....triples are inevitable. I mean 6 years ago people were saying the same thing about dubs and now dubs are getting pretty styley. Now personally I would way rather watch a super awesome cork 9 over a triple flat 12 buuttttt thats not how it works. Your also going to have the guys who just want to please the crowd in comp and will go for the most gnarly spinny flippy trick possible to get street cred and win. Thats my view on it!
