-A bigger XGames big air jump. Possibly poppier.
-Traveling Circus will try to outdo Skifi in creativity.
-No quads I guarantee it.
-Very stylized triples with different grabs, etc. (Screamin Semen Triple Cork?)
-Cooler features

-With Socci, a small explosion in freeskiing popularity. Outerwear and apparel companies will be going big, sponsorships for Olympic athletes will be in HUGE demand. Ie if Jiberish wanted to aim toward a more generic consumer, they'd advertise with the Olympics with a sticker on TWalls head.

You will be asked more and more by gapers if you are a "twin tipper" or if you can do the same thing those snowboarders like Shaun white do (rails and jumps.)

Skiing will get split in half in terms of comp vs. filming by the Olympics. Also, due to the Olympics, a bunch of gapers and non skiers will get the wrong idea about park skiing and try to get into it.

I'm suspecting that people will see the Olympics and think park skiing or skiing in general is all about comps. And then skiing will get an influx of competitive assholes that just want to ski to compete in comps.
That's just my opinion though.

the olympics will be a shitstorm.

skiing will continue to branch off into more styles.

other than the olympics, next year will be the same as every year.

A+ thread idea pal.
