Soooo. Who doesent know Simon Dumont's double Front Flip.

I just saw one guy in the park here in Switzerland doing a switch double front flip. And if this wasent enough he did a switch double superman front flip. He even tried a dripple switch front flip but didnt stick it. Its quit amazing what skiing has done in the last couple of years.

My advice to him is to write a will and to go for the quad

No dont get me wrong the first half was dope for sure. But thats not what everyone is praising. The tripple and double flips look awful.

 I absolutely hate hearing this kind of bullshit. Ya well I'd prefer a slow untweaked safety grab to your flat five misty any day! Why innovate and push the boundaries when we can just stick to what's so comfortable of a trick right? Fuck the guy killed it absoluetly at the beginning of the video with some very very nice spins. They weren't even over nine OMFGLOL! Skiing should be expressed in as many different ways as possible and if there is room to try something new and impressive, why the fuck not?? Come to think of it, why even do new tricks at all? Let's all just see who can do the best one eighties because all these new fangled tricks are just so darn much to handle eh. People like you complain how new tricks are spin to win or "played" and yet every one of the people throwing them could perform a "steezy flat 5 misty" (no such trick btw LULZ) that would blow your mind.

Sorrry for gettin so off topic, I though that vid was fun to watch, the kid kills it I'm glad he's experimenting with what's possible on skis. How can you hate on him when it's obvious he's got the style aspects of the sport down too.

this proves that there are A LOT of guys out there ripping who get zero exposure. even in aus  the standard of riding over the past few years has got pretty insane, but its very hard to get north american exposure. im sure its the exact same for a lot of scandis and other euros out there.

this is why, and yes, im going to say it again, skiing needs a world tour, with a second tier tour to support the up and comers. that gives you a world ranking system, and a place for people to see the best guys on show all the time. also allows guys to graduate to the main tour when they are good enough to qualify. it means companies have an amazing medium to promote there products, and guys like this get the recognition they deserve.

you didnt see a single guy on the WCT last year without a sponsor (barring bede durbidge for part of the year), and most of the 200 or so guys who compete on the WCQ have a major sponsor, if not then some form of minor sponsorship...the best guys get the recognition they deserve, and those who cant live up to it are funnelled out of the system.

and people will flame this with the normal 'but skiing shouldnt be all about comps'....well some of the most recognised surfers on the planet are freesurfers. when companies have a good medium such as a world tour to promotioe there products, they grow, have more money, and expand there marketing ideaologys.  ever heard of donovan frankenreiter? dave rastavich? ry craike? rob machado? these guys are some of the best surfers on the planet, some of the richest, and some of the most recognised, none of them surf comps, yet they would all be very thankful for the devlopment of the CT, which has seen their sport grow so big that guys like them can make a living from cashed up surf brands looking to exploit new avenues and the grassroots of their sport...this could easily work in skiing- a comp and freeski scene, and the sooner it happens the better for everyone, even if  you dont yet realise it

did you miss the switch TRIPLE front flip? nobody, can fucking put down someone who just did a switch triple front flip. just saying switch triple front flip sounds crazy. Id much rather see a switch triple front flip than a "steezy flat 5" because i see steezy flat 5's all the time. you are just a loser

Ok first off I meant mute not misty sry bout that.

Buttt, I know its progressive or whatever Im just curious as to where all this support is comming from? like at the beginning of the season It was all hate bcuz, skiing is getting closer and closer to arielist skiing and now its praise for this? Ya ive heard the its impressive therefore its cool crud a hundred times, but its impressive asians win the spelling bee every year does that make them cool? no. Skiing is about doing what you like and if you like this cool, I dont. Im just curious why all of a sudden everyone does?

And if you read my second post I do say the first part of the vid was dope, which it was.

dude its called maturity. peoples balls are dropping and realizing that anything new to skiing whether it be tricks or style, adds variety to the sport and that's what our sport needs to grow.

so now i suggest to you to let go of your high-pant-narrowed-childish views and let your balls drop as well.
