Essentially the same landing, haha.

There is no question that incredibly high levels of difficulty and danger WILL make a sport shrink.

Many people say the same about halfpipe, and I respect that.

David Wise Speaks Out Against Quads and Spin To Win

To each, his own.

I want as many people to experience that as possible.

Unquestionably yes, I could.

That might sound arrogant, but it is true.

I have been competing in pipe at a high level for most of my life.

So of course I COULD do it.

It might even be good for me personally to do so.

It would get a lot of media attention and hype wouldn’t it?

“First ever triple in the pipe performed my David Wise.”

My PR team would say it was a “good move.”

But I believe my responsibility to the sport is greater than that.

My responsibility to the sport extends beyond what is just good for me.

So, will I ever do a triple in the halfpipe?

I really hope not.

I am a competitor, and I will do what I have to do to remain competitive.

I just hope and pray that the sport never goes that way.

I am not trying to squash progression by any means.

Trust me, you will be seeing me continue to progress.

Just be mindful of the way that you are progressing the sport.

Lets get as many young people out there shredding as possible!"
