Why do you need to have a triple flip? Freeskiing is about freeskiing, the only thing you should worry about is having fun. If people want to sponsor you so you can have fun erry day, then alright.

Seriously, triples are impressive, but I think we'll swing back around to the whole Nimbus thing, where its just about the adventure, the beauty, friends and the joy of it all.

Couldn't agree more. Triples don't make you a better skier.

They mean that you are an athlete who's talented at the technical aspect of skiing. But I agree, being a good skier is loving the sport, dreaming about it from when the first leaf falls to the time the lifts stop spinning, and enjoying every moment you spend meeting new people, learning new and exciting things and appreciating everything you're fortunate enough to have.

Today you don't nescescarily need a double to get a film contract the same is you won't need a triple as you're predicting in the future. If you're talking slope competitions they would need to have considerablly larger jumps to expect a majority of riders to be throwing triples in order to place high. In the end it doesn't really matter, just go out and ski

you dont NEED a double to be good. and it will be the same way with triples. its going to go back to style in a year or two i think. its already kinda heading that way now. IMO

thank god!

i mean triples look cool and all (Just watched the way I see it) but I prefer style over technicality any day.
doubles are cool as well but I don't think that they should dominate the outcome of competitions.
people like b dog deserve to win more comps
