11010110lol slightly more exposure? i honestly don't think muuuch. the olympic games aren't that profitable anymore, if you are not a member of the IOC or a subsidiary investor. athletes are just pawns and perfect breeding machines
BlueVillainI feel like these days there are definitely two sides to slopestyle skiing.
Tons of kids are now in slopestyle teams and the comp scene is definitely more structured. What I mean by that is: to get to a certain level you gotta win this and this comp to get to that comp and so on. I've seen more and more kids start to huck trips before being able to style out a cork 7.
The second side, you probably guessed, is the "style" one, which I don't feel that I need to explain that much.
As for the impact of the olympics, I think its made skiing a lot more popular than it was before. Everybody is crazy good and it gets harder and harder to define what being "pro" is.
Also you're either a comp skier or you're not. Gone are the days where the most stylish skier in the game was also the one winning comps. At least in my opinion.
What do you guys think?
KunderaFully agree on the first part.
Nevertheless "Gone are the days where the most stylish skier in the game was also the one winning comps. At least in my opinion." I think it will be the case in few years, maybe less, but for now, when I see A-Hall leading many comps, even if it's with crazy tech tricks, I feel style is still around.
