Replying to Jesper Tjäder
Alright you young rippers. Remember I’m old, talking T-Halls age. We used to ride together. But I had to post because I witnessed some XGames Slopestyle today. Been out of the ski game forever but I’ve seen triples and 1800’s plus come into the scene. Anyway, what I witnessed (as an old washed up skier) Jesper do with full on stopping his rotation and bring it back is something else old men could never have imagined. Obviously we wouldn’t even think of an 1800 or a triple really but full on stopping your rotation and reverting it back to stop switch or even revert to forward. I don’t know youngings, fill me in? Is spinning to win the watching are going? Have we lost the absolute madness of what Jesper can do? And A-Hall, Mac, a lot of guys can do it which is absolutely insane. But I love Jesper’s skiing. He’s some kinda crazy human. anyway, I’m just a washed up skier from a small mountain town in AK. Had to vent but still it’s unreal where skiing has gone from a 900 with Johnny Mosley or Tanner halls ridiculously dope cork 7 mutes. the 2000’s were cool. Can’t even imagine the craziness of today. Either way so sick to watch X-Games after all these years
