You're sort of being a condescending prick about it, but I agree with the gist of what you're saying.
It's not as if Brogan is claiming that this is the most amazing edit to ever grace the pages of NS. In fact, he doesn't make any claims about it's value. He's just skiing, filming, and having fun. Clearly, the kid has some fans (I'm one of 'em) who are feeling his style, and enjoy watching him ski. If you (the proverbial "you", not the guy I'm quoting) don't like it, that's a ok, but why be sooo venomous in condemning it? Rate that shit a 4 or 5, leave a comment along the lines of "repetitive", "no unnatty", "I think TIndys blow dick", or "Too much bang" and keep it moving. Cut him a break.
Couple of things:
I'm unbelievably irritated by this argument that I see constantly in this thread and others like it - that argument being: "If you can't do better, than you can't have anything negative to say about it." What a fucking cop out, idiotic, ridiculous point. People drop this like it's a fucking hammer...as if it's the ultimate trump card and that by merely saying it renders the person's view completely moot. Gah,
Look. If I say that Reggie Bush hasn't had the breakout success in the NFL that many anticipated he would because he doesn't run north and south enough, but instead, he attempts to rely too heavily on his athleticism, as he did in college, rather than follow the scheme and trust the system.......no one is going to shout "Shut the fuck up!! You couldn't average 2.8 yds. per carry, so you can't fucking talk!! Well, if they did, everyone would roll their eyes and continue the conversation,
It's possible to have a valid and informed opinion about the quality of someone's skiing without necessarily being able to ski at a comparably high level. Granted, many of the debates around skiing are of a subjective nature, if a person offers an intelligent and coherent explanation for their opinion, it's officially valid - whether that person can fucking sw dub 12 or not. Please, stop with the bullshit. If only those "as good as" were worthy of an opinion, there'd be 50ish members on this site with very little to talk about.
Last thing.
What's with this notion that Brogan hasn't progressed, and even worse yet, that for some reason he "has to" progress? Several people have ranted about how his tricks are stagnant and they seem really pissed about it. To my knowledge, Brogan has roughly 2:45 worth of shots this year (This edit, tease edit, and ignancy v.2). How the fuck can people infer from that little bit of footy that the kid hasn't learned any tricks? What bothers me even more, is that even if he hasn't added any huge new tricks to his arsenal...who the fuck cares? Not everyone is a freak show like Wallisch and learns a new trick daily.
I don't know man...just hop off of Brogan's dick. I don't understand why he's so controversial. He's not like totally oh my god my fav skier or anything, but I enjoy his shots for what they are. It's like the people that aren't feeling him, can't STAND the idea that other people are. This whole situation sort of reminds me of the T Heed debates. What the fuck gives. Is it jealousy? Is it bitterness that YOUR local hero whose metaphorical dick is in YOUR mouth doesn't catch Brogan like love even though he spins and flips more than Brogan does? Jeeeeeeez Louuuuuuise.
