Unbelievable freestyle runs by both Montrealers - throwing down the smoothest of backflips!

Never skied bumps and I guarantee I could land a backy or a 3 first t on those jumps. Not saying I can ski moguls like them but it is really fucking lame that you can win with those tricks, might as well make it 100% based on speed and technique cause there is hardly any difference between those tricks and a straight air

I'm old as dirt so take it on experience that mogul skiing has not changed one bit in twenty years. Those two runs could have been done in the 80's. Thats not freestyle, thats point skiing.
Super cool two sisters finished gold and silver, I bet they both rip, but thats nothing you couldn't have seen thirty years ago.

Listen here you little shitfuck wanker me and my mates would fucking wreck your crew on the mountain you cunt.



But you guys seriously think I couldn't backflip a fucking moguls jump? Really? I already made it clear I don't think I could ski bumps worth shit but that's not the point.


To me it just seems like the sport would be better off without the jumps if all they're gonna do is throw tricks anyone skiing for a year or two can do

Any fuckin joey who's ever tossed a backy on a lil kicker could do a backflip on those jumps. But, i think you have no idea how hard it is to ride out into a full bump run. Try it, i dare ya

not to mention riding in in control. It's not like you have a nice flat inrun to hit those jumps. mogul jumps are much tougher than park jumps. most of them are around 3 feet tall and guys will send them so fucking big.

Jesus Christ can people not fucking read anymore?

You're stating exactly what my point is; those tricks winning in the highest level of competition is a joke.

If I'm not mistaken the jumps are only worth 25%. It sure seems like they are kind of weak, I'd like to try it some time to see how difficult it is

it's much tougher to do those tricks because of the fucking moguls in the way. so how are we "stating your point"?

here's why you are an idiot, you can't ride bumps, so there's not fucking way you would even be on balance to hit those jumps, let alone do a 3 or a back. And let's not even talk about landing and riding away.

Alright gonna go ahead and respond to all you goofs.


@chicken There's no fucking chance the moguls have anything to do with my ability to do those tricks, I could drop from the last mogul before the jump and still have plenty of speed to backflip.


@Crankset my apologies for never having skied a resort where a moguls course is open to the public. Congratulations to you if you have or if you payed money to join a club that allows you to ski some bullshit course.


@Powerbong just to piss you guys off even more I'm gonna go ahead and say I could rip a full mogul run without falling and throw and backflip and a 3 on those jumps FIRST FUCKING TRY. Sure it wouldn't be pretty but it's not like skiing moguls is a whole new sport, I still have my skis on my feet and snow under me and I'm not gonna let some little bumps of snow change that

sure. most people can. but far less people can do it with the moguls before/after the jump.

I can 270 onto a flatbar no problem, but 270 onto a ledge with a big drop on one side and a pole to dodge in the landing would be totally different. It's the same thing. The moguls make all of the difference. Plus you have to do the tricks very well. Like a perfect back double full off a mogul jump is much more difficult than a cork 10 on a park jump.

You don't have to fucking pin down a mogul run to hit the jumps, you could make your way slowly through them and still hit the jumps and trick them... Personally don't think the moguls would affect the jumps until you start really bombing down the moguls and going big enough to land where they start up again.

Also I'd hazard there are more people capable of doing a back double full in a mogul run than there are people capable of cork 10s on park jumps. But that's a point we can't argue about as I doubt both of us could do both those tricks. At least I know I sure can't

cork 10 is so much easier than back double full. I can (or could) do a cork 10 on a park jump. Definitely not a back double full in moguls.

yeah, but then you shouldn't be winning at the highest level.

to be able to win at the highest level you have to ski well AND jump well. you were bitching about the tricks at the highest level of competition, which was fucking stupid. Those tricks ARE amazing given the circumstances they are in.

remember when people were winning slopestyle comps with switch 1080's? well at the same time, there were aerialists winning with triple 1440s and shit. That didn't make the slopestyle less impressive, it was just a different sport.

Maybe i should clarify...

Anyone fucking joey could land a backie on those jumps... if they weren't in moguls. Landing in bumps is fucked up hard

Oh boy. Please show me where I said I should be winning at the highest level.

I bet you love to make fun of the tricks women throw in slopestyle compared to men (at least you should, it's hilarious). I'm making the same point in regards to moguls..

I can also (barely) cork 10, but I've been skiing park for 5 years now. If I put that time into moguls I truly think I would be somewhere close to back double fulls but that's all assumption and a stupid argument. Maybe ask Dylan Ferguson cause he might be the only one capable of doing both tricks properly in the world.

A backflip and a 360 are not amazing at the highest level of competition. Period. I doubt there was anyone watching that competition that knew anything about skiing that went "holy fuck!!! that chick just threw a backflip!!!!" during that run.

And don't try to tell me the chicks were landing in the bumps. They were easily a good 8 feet back of the first.

I'm not trying to say moguls aren't gnarly, but I am saying the tricks the women are throwing aren't.

Stupid fucking argument.... That means nothing whatsoever on the difficulty on the trick... I bet the majority of those mogul skiers couldn't cork 10 a park jump, you can't use that as justification.

@DIX You sound like a immature baby talking about yourself. There is a difference between half-assing your way through the moguls and hitting the jump, as opposed to going through them full speed and then hitting the jump. By actually incorporating the moguls into the run it in essence actually increases the difficulty of the trick themselves. What don't you get about that... The inrun, the outrun, all these factors contribute to the entirety of the trick, not just the time you are in the air.
