Skiing got soft. Skateboarding is has never stopped progressing. Skiing got really pussy. All of you that encourage going slower and turning more are a bunch of pussies. Fuck you @hoodcrew, fuck you @theBunch, you influenced all these kids to be wavy or whatever and now ski content sucks ass. Fuckin props to the homies that still ski like a boss and go big and aren't trendy little bitches. peace. /summerNS

asparagusBecause if a skater lands half rotated backside 180ing a 16 stair, they’re gonna have a sore tailbone. If a skier lands half rotated on a 40 footer it’s an edge catch to concussion, collarbone and shoulder injury. There’s a reason the average skate pro doesn’t drop a street movie with nothing but massive street rail shots. Both sports have their gnarly aspects and this thread is stupid.


But can you kick flip?

No, which is why that was a shit opinion. But I do defend my point in the sense that good skaters can bail out of huge trick and escape unharmed better than skiers can.

BigPurpleSkiSuitwe ended up at a point where that became base jumping, that's why it changed. People went bigger than them, but past a certain point you can't land. Plus didn't we have someone this year go as big as sethmo on a backie and stomp, Tanner Bourdeau I believe


I think you’re right. Guys pushed the limits and found the boundaries of sending. It was unsustainable. But also entertaining.

270on420outThis is how I know OP doesn’t follow skateboarding very closely. Stony low impact tricks are in right now. “Shitty on purpose” is the name of the game. And all the old timers complain about how much they hate it, and how Instagram killed video parts, and how lame all the trends are nowadays. It’s the exact same fucking conversation.
