It takes no skill to jump over 99% of a box, and tap the remaining 1% with the tail of your skis.  Thats not progression. /rant

if people are having fun, let them do it. not everything has to be about progression. i certainly haven't done a trick that has never been done before, but that doesn't mean i should stop doing them.

how can you even call that a trick?! your straight airing off a lip of a box and knuckling the box a little ! thats worse than hucking doubles, its just plain stupid

Why is it that 95% of NS has the same 3 responses to threads that relate to style or difficulty?

1. "Dude, these taps and gaps and shuffles are so gay, there are not progressing the sport and they aren't that hard."

2. "Dude, I don't want to see a million switchups on a box, stylish tricks are so much better."

3. "Who cares about tricks? What's important is that the skier is having fun."


I feel like if I've read one thread, I've read them all.
