Replying to Props to Dew Tour Skiers for showing we've progressed passed snowboarding

krink:
I just want to give all the props in the world for all the skiers that threw down in halfpipe and especially slopestyle for seriously upstaging the snowboarders and showing how redundant competition snowboarding is getting.

just watch the top runs from both categories and it's really clear that the snowboarders 1. pretty much ignore putting any effort into the rails 2. total spin to win contest (little to no inverts) 3. the only way to compare snowboard runs it by adding up rotations and counting the seconds held on grabs.

snowboarding for these kind of comps has just gotten so homogenized and everything fucking looks the same. skiing is still young in this major competition world so all the athletes have much more unique style. anyways, i'm done, but can't wait for the rest of the dew tour to unfold, definitely a great start to the major competition season.
