I think these things are really killing the sport. Progressing the sport way too fast. Whats next triple corks? Im sure theres already ppl trying..

How about powder days? I know some people who took advantage of huge dumps and built jumps into deep powder landings and then... (gasp), hucked some crazy new tricks and learned doubles and stuff that significantly and rapidly progressed their skiing.

So by your logic, I suppose bottomless fluffy powder days must have killed skiing too...

Are you kidding me!!!! Airbags and Water ramps created skiing. This website would not exist if it weren't for those.

Doesn't matter really, all progression will stop in 2012. But seriously, broken necks FTW, if you aren't trying triple corks to ice then you are cheating.

McConkey, Andy Parry, and Eric Pollard killed skiing

I think these pros have progressed the sport way too fast, i mean wtf is next? More skiing? we should eliminate pros altogether. They help to define and guide our sport, but doesnt that mean its no longer "FREE"skiing?!?! i for one refuse to acknowledge the existence of pros from now on. Fuck Pros.

Dub corks/flips were invented before airbags.  The reason the airbag was invented was because a pro snowboarder fell on an attempted double cork and is now in a wheelchair, so he invented the airbag so that riders can be SAFER when trying NEW tricks.

I completely agree with you bro. its not like skiing is about progressing and having fun.
and like who cares if anyone lands a triple or something. because that definitely wont get more people pumped about skiing and progress it further.
shit

I personally enjoyed landing on my head on a big airbag as opposed to ice/snow when attempting to suck less at skiing, needless to say it did not work.

nooooooooooooo. Skiing was ruined many time before this. Like with the invention of twintipped skis.  Skiing used to be about being out in the wild trying to get from one place to another and now there are dumb obsticles like rails in the way which take away the true essence of skiing.  Also shaped skiis ruined everything by making skiing easier. I remember the days where only the most skilled people could ski.
