sorry if that was unclear, i didnt mean anything about skiing vs SBing at all

i was just saying that posting things like that when youre a name in snow sports is sorta low class hating IMO. i'd bet the farm that if they met in person, he'd congratulate him

hell, didnt i see a huge laid out double backy picture by joris blanc recently? that was undeniably awesome-- where is the arbitrary line of coolness between that and a well done sw quad?

theabortionatorMeh, fuck this shit. It's the same as people trying to max out on axis spins.

It's progression. Just because people throw quad corks doesn't mean suddenly nobody in skiing will have any style and that slopestyle will be 3 HUGE jumps with only triples and quads being thrown. There has been a big resurgence in style. Maybe there will be comps that are just huck fests but there will still be plenty of people getting stylish out there. People hated so hard on triples but look how much they cleaned up doubles. Now some of the dubs out there are so fucking stylish you'd had to hate anything fun to not be down with them. All this really did is show what is truly possible on a snowboard, and in all honestly will open up the door to even more stylish, single, double, triples in the future.

If you could throw a quad you'd do it, and you'd be stoked even if it was the sketchiest spin ever. That was actually extremely clean, grab the whole way, no wobbling at all, opened up perfectly to float in and stomp the piss out of it.

IMO some of you guys are trying too hard to be haters.


Thank you for saying it.

People act like the moment a quad is thrown skiing will die. It hardly effects you. I'm not gonna change my skiing because somebody did a quad. And more likely than not, the person who does it probably has tons of style and is an amazing skier.
