For real though, I seriously think that jumping has pretty much reached it's pinnacle of appeal. How many times can one watch people spinning around in the air? After so many years, it's just the same shit over and over again, and there's basically nothing left to be done. Don't get me wrong, the dub cork 7 was dope, and there's lots of dudes that kill smooth tricks on jumps, I've just seen it all so many times. I've been watching ski movies for more than 12 years at this point, and there's only so many cork 9's and smooth switch 7's that one can watch before realizing that there just isn't anywhere left to go. I really hope someone proves me wrong, but I can't really fathom what's left to be done (zero fucks given about triples and other future spins).
When it comes to rails on the other hand, I feel like we're just getting started. Not only is sliding rails more fun than jumping (backflips being the exception) but they're just so much more interesting to watch. There are so many rails on this planet to be slid and year after year, rail shit just gets fresher.
Thoughts?
