For some reason this video made me think of the traveling circus.
Probably because all the that magoon was doing was very original.
I wonder if the travelling circus next episode will have some street in it.
lets wait and see.

skiing, an activity based on having fun in nature's greatest arena- the mountains, should become sliding rails on a snowboard in a man-made environment, ideally to be praticed to a soundtrack of g-unit and dressed in gangbanger-styled marijuana leaf embossed hoodies? is that what you're saying? have i missed something haha? i personally think skiing should stay as skiing.

If you're not gonna ever be on a mountain, only doing urban, why not just rollerblade?

Makes it easier once you get to the bottom of a rail, you dont just have to stop.

Dude, it really doesn't even matter how skiing supposedly "should be". It should be about a dude who literally gets a boner from riding around and having fun on two sticks strapped to his feet. From Pow to Hand Rails, it's all skiing. What should happen to skiing is it's continuing expansion into different fields. I'll be honest, I love tech ski stuff. like butters, and weird grinds and slides, so that's what I usually do, but If other people enjoy other stuff, they're still my brother in skiing. It would be nice, however, to find a way to ski all year round. That's the only thing that I wish was different about the whole sport, But hey, screw it, that's makes you cherish the beauty of the snow and the sport even more.

well put. skiing needs to keep being pushed as much as possible, regardless of direction. stagnation leads to decline, and thats the last thing i want to see

well i think that skiing should be what i want it to be not what someone else tells me it should be. what skiing is varies from rider to rider.

i think skiis persona is good were it is, but we should get better at urban wall rides and drops, as a whole. and learn doubles off cliffs. then i would be happy, and would have more to aim twards! not that there isnt enought already that i need to learn haha
