Replying to Competitions are the backbone of progression

ive heard quotes from pollard about how competitions hurt progression because nobody is out there trying radical shit, only things they know they can land. i have to disagree because although crazier things are hucked, the appearance of a trick in a comp gives it a legitimacy it could not achieve otherwise. If you watch someone huck a 10 in the backcountry, you can call him a crazy bitch and be done with it. On the other hand if a 10 is hucked in the x-games, you can bet that every single pro in the games will be able to stick it for next year.

My point is just that although crazier things go down, and that filming is more conductive to individual progression, competitions manage to pull the sport up as a whole.
