We´ve reached the limit

Four years ago (correct me if I´m wrong) TJ did the first ever sw 1440 in a competition as far as I´m concerend. Still, not even all pros do them, they are rare in competitions and sw 1620s has only been seen a few times.

Anyone else feel like we have reached some kind of a limit here?

Personally I´m glad. I prefere 12s or less. Maybe if people all sorta agree that we´ve gone far enough, we´ll get more focus on inovation and style.

i think about this often. i hope skiing finds ways to progress other than one more flip in an air.

yeah but i guess because doubles are seen as better/harder tricks thats taking the emphasis of 'spin to win'

and yes even though henriks sw 16 mute is crazy it's not something that i enjoy watching alot.

I suppose a lot will depend on how parks start to build jumps. At the moment few people can throw a sw16 like henrik, without  pencilling it out, because of the size/type of jump they're on. So unless jumps get way steeper like aerials, or way bigger, there's probably a definite limit on what kind of spin/flip is possible.

Also, whats sick about what say henrik for example is doing is that he's bringing style to a big spin like a sw14. Personally i've got no problem seeing that.

i've thought about this a lot, and here's the conclusion i've come to. skiing will never reach a limit, at least not any time soon. sure, switch 14 and a couple dubs seem like the furthest skiing can go, but the thing is as soon as people are comfortable doing a crazy trick like that, they start to do it with more style and different grabs. i saw a vid just yesterday of a guy doing a switch cork 14 tail, no way people would have believed that 4 years ago. so then when people get comfy doing styled out huge tricks on huge jumps, then their comfortable enough to hit an even bigger jump and take it even further. so it never really stops, at least not until jumps stop growing, and when people like jon can make a big jump so perfect it just allows people to keep testing the limit

yessssssssssssssssss

But in my opinion I don't want to see a ton of spinning and flips... It's becoming aerials. I want to see creativity in what we do. That's what sets everyone apart and it should be what sets skiing apart.

that would be sick (btw wouldn't it be a nollie misty not rodeo? cause the momentum would be wrong? your poping forward then flipping back, seems like it would be hard)

Style is where it's at, and switching stuff up a bit... stalled out spins, shifty's, grab combinations....   f**** all this spin to win bs - still nothing beats a super styled 5/flat 5 etc....  i'd personally rather see a perfect, styled out, banged to f***k switch zero then some hucked nonesense...  for example, Wallisch's Sw zero in Turbo..

Wow he really reached for that landing, that was intense.

Although Im not sure what will come next as far as spins or flips, Im just glad you can watch a video and still see a steezy 3 or a floaty zeros. Not everyone is trying to make themselves dizzy every air, and Im happy.

Lots of spins are cool, Henrik Harlaut's sw 14 in Turbo, that's how they're supposed to look.

such flawed logic. eventually the human body wont be able to handle the landings/falls on jumps the size you are describing. the human body isnt designed to handle that kind of impact. not sayng were close to it, but eventually it will definitely limit the amount of spins/flips that can be done.
