Bro, 'progression' doesn't always logically follow from hucking your meat - it generally does, but there can be instances where it does not. The post you quoted agreed with what you just said, almost precisely.

Triple 10 or triple wackflip, it's gay either way.
Stick to doubles...

I am constantly amazed at how concerned people are with how things look and "where the sport's going." For so many of you, it seems WHY we ski is secondary. Here's what I wrote in the same back and forth nagging kind of thread that came up just after Bobby landed the triple:

What I never can understand is how in all of these arguments, people totally disregard why we ski.

If you've done a million flat 5s, would it heighten your skiing experience doing a double? Hell yeah. So now, if you've done a ton of doubles, how do you elevate that experience?

Can you imagine what Bobby felt like in the in-run to doing a triple and the sensation he skied away with after stomping it? That's something anyone who says "this isn't leading freestyle skiing in the right direction" just isn't going to experience.

You can work on style and perfecting grabs day in day out, but that isn't going to deliver nearly the same level of satisfaction as doing something terrifying and pulling it off. I give Bobby all the props in the world, and I happened to see him just after he pulled off the triple, and the beaming expression on his face was all the evidence I needed to indicate that he was doing something right.

This is truth on a different level.

I don't know that I agree 100% in the respect that Bobby, as he's often skiing for pay with several cameras aimed at him...isn't all that relatable to most of us. In my opinion, by pursuing professional skiing, he has become an ambassador, a role model, and controversial....whether he/anyone likes it or not. Sure, he still has fun and is motivated by the same things that we all are (pushing ourselves, scaring ourselves, amazing ourselves, having fun, etc.), but I wonder if Bobby Brown would have thrown that triple by himself without any spectators, cameras, fellow pros. or the threat that someone else would do it first. So, sometimes I think that the knee jerk opposition towards more spinny flippys is actually people tuning into some less concrete ideas and worries, and not just blindly hating on an individual as it often appears.

I wrote a similar post in the Jon Brogan thread where I claimed it's not anyone's responsibility to "progress skiing". I still don't think it is.

Before you rip on his triple... I doubt any of you would actually hit a jump that size. What was it, like 100ft to the knuckle?

Obviously I'm referring to the fact that the "cameras" were those of a professional film crew....not his bro who was filming it for his own personal entertainment. You totally missed my point, so shhhhh.

I don't remember where else I've seen you post, but you're comprehension sucks.

Sweet backflip claim by the way, we're all very impressed.

well, i googled russ henshaw ski movie. i now know his birthday, hometown, and watched some vids of him. but not the one ya'll are talking about. At this point, I'm assuming he does the triple in an actual movie that you can buy at stores. but i don't even know what movie that is. unfortunately, i don't have a ton of time to spend on here keeping up w/ everything. was just hoping one of you would help me out.
