Let's see you do it...

I have never made a thread like this before, but I feel it would be for the good of NS threads and conversations, if the "let's see you do it..." remark was outlawed.

For example, the double cork 12 thread that is going on at the moment; it is true that none of us can do one, but we are still allowed to pass judgement, because we know what one should look like.

Please find a more effective and more creative retort than just saying "let's see you through a dub cork 12."

Not much of a rant, but i just think it would make NS at least seem a bit more sophisticated.

I understand your point, but kids really need to stop giving people advice on how to do tricks they can't do themselves. And just because you can do a trick on a trampoline or off of a diving board doesn't make you qualified to tell someone how to do it on skis. If you want advice on tricks, join the ASK TURPIN cult.

i see where i could have been unclear. i'm not just talking about ski trick tips here, im talking about pretty much everything that is brought up on NS.

a hypothetical example being Sergio Garcia imploding on the final round at The Open a couple of years ago. A standard response to that would be; "lets see you be in contention for a major golfing event."

It isnt helpful.

wait, what? how does sergio relate to morons who don't understand the intricacies of pk's dubcork 12? or is it more a late cork.......?!  is sergio capable of making a golf ball spin off axis?
