Replying to Have Big Mountain/Powder Skiing video Parts Become less gnarly then they used to be?

joelski:
maybe im seeing the wrong videos or something but it seems like everyones just hitting pretty average sized backcountry booters and im not saying that i could dub cork a big BC jump i just think parts used to be way gnarlier. Like when you watch pettit's part in Attack of La Nina He hucks 90 ft cliffs and slays huge AK spines but when you watch his parts in the super proof movie the terrain is way less steep, way less exposed and the tricks he' s throwing seem to be about the same. people used to hit chads and pyramid and now you never see those gaps in edits/movies (ya i know chads gap was blown up by ski patrol). that's just a few examples but this seems to be kind of across the board. I guess what im wondering is am i the only one that thinks this and if not then why is this happening
