I would want to just cos I could do it. Have you never done something for that reason?

As for the dub 10 being gay as Corey so elegantly put it, it might not have been stylish but at least he grabbed and It was pretty hardcore, I don't know how you can't respect it just for the fact he has to be mental to even try that trick.

dubbing a 20 foot jump would not feel good in any way shape or form...i mean if you want to go ahead knock yourself out. i guarantee it won't be fun. It's just crazy...skiing isn't meant to be crazy it's meant to be flowy smooth and fun.

i'm the same way as you but other people have different mindsets, and all the power to them for it.

hoe the fuck do you know what is fun to elias? and who the fuck are you saying what skiing is meant to be?

elias gets way too much hate- he has some of the styliest dubs in the game.

Dubbing anything would feel sick, and who are you to decide what skiing is or isn't. Everyone who hates on dubs is just jealous.

I think there are different styles of skiing and its the diversity that makes it so good, it is supposed to be crazy, if it wasn't that crowd watching the play streets definitely wouldn't be so big, but then its supposed to be artistic as well because that's what some people have come to prefer. Dubbing that jump would definitely feel good to me if I could do it, it would make me laugh if anything, I love finding out where my limits are not just on my skis but everywhere. I mean I might not want to do it repetitively, I'm sure a smooth rodeo would feel nicer, but it wouldn't get me going in the same way.
Plus, its a comp, it's about winning. Winning means doing the hardest and craziest tricks. You can honestly expect the nicest looking, smoothest runs to win when other ones were undeniably more difficult.

respectfully disagree- at all the city big airs this year he (and i think pk as well) was the only one throwing dub 10 that were noticeably sicker than anyone else's. his scissor dubgrab ones were sick but because of the small nature of the jumps, not particularly "steezy", but his tweak-poke ones were ridiculously steezy without a doubt

and the closing shot in the JOSS team europe clip: show me a cleaner, stylier dub 12 tail and i will eat my hat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nhDuiLfVyw

i think a comp like this encourages spinning to win. and spinning to win of that tiny jump aint cool
