snowboard urban is so far ahead of skiing, being able to 50/50 things opens up so many possibilities for them

Ya but multiple triple corks were thrown AND stomped so it was obviously possible. Non of the skiers bothered to try cause the field of competition was very weak and then sammy got injured, who would have been most likely to

no one needed to throw a triple in order to win + boarders didnt spin quite as much and didnt do as much switch.

jump was tiny. lolol well at least bobby brown didnt throw it. thats the last thing we need, a comp skiier throwing that ridiculous of a trick. It would give us notoriety with bobby brown, who just does it for the money.

skiiers didnt have to throw triples to win. Proving Skiing > Snowboarding. Where it seems like triples will become the norm.

It's also possible to trow and stomp a dub cork on a 40ft jump. But it's definitly not safe. I wouldn't want to overshoot sweet spot to do a stupid triple flip even if it's stupid X-Games. Every body said jump was too small for triples last year and it's similar size this year.

im pretty sure these skiers can handle a bigger jump, especially if they want to triple to be thrown down.

you need to realize that we wouldnt have x games or any publicity for skiing if everybody was a soul shredder just trying to get all muddy winter on some flat boxes. all pros are comp skiers, unless your talking about newschoolers video pros.
