Triples and quads are going to be a real factor for people competing at the highest level.
At the bigger events like Xgames big air, we will see these tricks unleashed.
This realization has sparked fear, and caused some of these pros to send out a backlash against quads.
This backlash however isn’t much different than something seen in MotoX freestyle when the backflips came in.
In the early 2000s the backflip was a game changer in freestyle motorcross.
This change has given people more technical features while lowering the consequence and making them more trickable.
At the same time there has also been a change in jump building.
Some common building methods have been embraced across the board giving us much more consistently safe and fun jumps.
These changes have made terrain park skiing vastly more accessible to the masses.
That was a situation that would easily frustrate people from participating in the freestyle side of the sport.
That is simply an inaccurate description of both where the sport is and where it is heading.
COMPETITIONS ARE FOREVER RUINED
Another major argument is that competitions have now been forever ruined.
In recent years there has been a huge push in creative and stylish skiing.
Events like B&E, Nine Knights and others where the setups are insanely creative.
I feel as though these new tricks will simply push skiing to split off into different facets.
I think we have lost sight of the fact that freestyle skiing is an open sport.
Skiing has grown massively in recent years, and with that growth comes some branching off.
That is not a sure sign of the apocalypse but simply a healthy part of growing.
While other people are posting videos of aerials I’ll leave you with this.
A great example of why it’s possible for you to’t put skiing into a box.
