The Traveling Circus is changing the way we look at skiing in a great way.

How many times have you watched them and then realized your potential to figure out a new trick?

How many non-park skiers have you shown this too and had them very interested and entertained?

The really are paving the way for what is possible in newschool skiing and skiing in general.

I could go on and on....discuss....

they do some nifty stuff...but idk how long itll be until they run out of new stuff....but i do agree that they are changing it for the better...getting more creative rather than who can huck themselfs off the biggest jumps

a few times and none...but i really really enjoy watching them ski, and doubt they will ever run out of new stuff to try. that's really what creativity is.

I also like their creativity. Its nice seeing something other than who can spin and cork the most.

Ah, so you haven't heard about ____'s Moving Carnival, due next spring? It's about this ragtag group of standup skiers, whose sole mission is to find the biggest jumps in the world and just huck themselves three ways on Sunday. You won't find these guys skiing on sand or sliding little jibs in a desolate forest, no - this is an adrenaline rush even for the viewer, forget about showing it to your grandma, because Kansas... is going bye-bye.

I seem to be the only one out of my whole crew that actually likes TC.. I'm always stoked on what they do, Andy and Max specifically, and I love the new stuff they come up with. Everyone else I ski with is too busy jacking off to B&E to care

They for sure change the way I look at skiing rails.  On the friends part though, I usually just show them PBP or Level1, honestly I dont think they would understand the technical difficulty of TC, or appreciate it anyways.

In T.C.'s first year, they hiked to hood because they couldn't afford passes. The second year, Windell's had a dedicated Traveling Circus week. Nuff said.

And I love how they're changing it up as well, but my friends seem to be so focused on looking gang that they miss the whole vibe TC throws out.

They just call it stupid and move on, whereas I watch all TC and all B&E repeatedly, breaking the tricks down, enjoying the vibes, etc.

inb4 charley, mack, kelsey etc see this

I'm a swede studying in england, and i show all my english friends traveling circus all the time :) they all seem to enjoy it quite a bit, even though only a few of them have ever been skiing, so yeah OP i think youre right! There's so much stuff in TC that anyone can enjoy, cause even if you know nothing about skiing, and wouldnt have been able to distinguish any grabs from each other, you can tell there's some crazy shit going down in TC haha

also, i think the cast of TC is really hard not to like. theyre all such chilled dudes!
