When quads arrive

When this inevitably happens, will the community catch up? Like, would there be on or two crazy skiers trying them or will there be more? Will triples become commonplace and everyone will constantly be throwing down? Could every injury ruin a skiers career? Or will this tear down the walls of freesking and cause wannabe pros to give up out of fear and collapse our whole sport? Basically, will this be good or bad?

It seemed like at first only a few people dared to try triples and only on huge jumps. Quads will probably catch on quicker than doubles or triples did because its not adding that much more spin. Going from single to double is the biggest leap.

they're actually not allowed to do them in aerials (only one has ever been done anyway) and there's no need for it in freeskiing. there's still countless variations of dubs and trips which haven't been done. aerials has stopped progressing because they've reached the limit but park skiing has waaayy more areas to keep progressing so i actually dont think people will do them

I dont think quads will ever be a common freeskiing trick, many pros already say they will never try any kind of triples, even fewer would want to huck quads. I could see someone do it on a giant jump for a movie shoot or something, but for most people triples will be the max. I dont think many people would want to watch quads either, it just seems to risky and unrelatable for most.

i mean if he does it in competition and it scores well then everybody else is gonna do them to keep up. being able to cork forward and backwards could be as big as being able to spin left and right.

most of us here love skiing and love learning new tricks, with that said, its extremely easy to hurt yourself in this sport. i dislocated my shoulder this winter learning hand drag corks and this injury will hold me back from my potential for years to come until i get surgery. this is just a small example but i think it holds true in the community. people will throw quads, more people will throw trips, but i dont think it will be a very large movement even when it happens. the risk is too high

I think we'll have one or two more years of triples. It wont go to quads, but it will go back to simple stylish, fun tricks. There will be the group of serious riders go as hard as they can throwing triple 18's with no style but lots of "proper technique", and then there will be the skiers like Jossi and Henrik throwing the big 5's 7's and bios (And of course the zero spins) While they may not win, they'll be the loved skiers of the community they truly represent. Skiers. Not sponsors.

not saying that quads aren't in the realm of possibility but there are so many variations of triples yet to be done. triples are gonna win comps for the next 5 years or so.

This would be the worst thing to happen in freeskiing. Mad props to people who can do them, but I think triples are even too dumb. Quads are at the point where everyone starts hucking their meat to catch up. Everybody will be getting hurt or even dying and skiing will be stupid

I think the main thing limiting quads from every coming a mainstream trick is the fact that you need that much bigger of a jump to do them on and maintain some sort of style before you go into Arial type of tricks. I would love to see skiing grow trcik wise but also really get creative in terrain parks / competitions / back country stuff

And Jossi never did one again after X Games.

And to be honest, you can style out single corks much more than triples or even doubles.
