after watching 1242 on another boring summer day, i started to wonder where the sport of skiing will be headed. it seems we have surpased snowboarding all ready and the sport keeps progressing like crazy every year. is the future going to bring big gnarly corked 1080s over 100 foot gaps onto double kinked rails with a spike pits under them, or is it going to bring smoother tricks and a primary focus on body control?
