Hahahah wow in higher definition that looked SO baller! The dizziness is epic. This is history in the making. Again, for the haters...where else do you expect comp skiing to go? Where else can it go that it hasn't been before? You can't judge comps based on style because it's subjective, sorry. There has to be a technical or rotational difficulty factor.
A long time ago, the pros learned how to grab their 900's and they were stoked. Then someone 'invented' a 1080 and the pros saw it was possible, got the trick on lock and grabbed it. Now someone did the first 1800 and later skiers are going to grab that trick. Thats just the way it works. Maybe you don't think this 1800 was stylish enough, but hey, this was the first ever and obviously he didn't get rewarded too much for it because it was not perfectly grabbed. Props for stomping a new trick. Oh and if you prefer watching really stylish tricks, just watch the riders who you think are stylish and let the riders who aren't (in your eyes) do what they want to do.
Looked pretty much the same as TJ landing the first 1440 and I've seen some super stylish 1440s since then. Jumps are getting made better and they're getting slightly bigger, but this level of down right record breaking progression will probably reach a limit somewhere. The people who decide that though are the ones with the balls to try and push the limit. Just cause someone sinks it from half court doesn't mean there won't be a dunk competition.
that was one of the most legendary big airs ever and no, that looked nothing like it. schiller grabbed high mute, grabbed longer, went further down the landing than everyone else and stomped it way harder. the difference was that schiller put some style into it before travelling into the future.
oh yeah, here's the edit. enjoy the "history" lesson you punks.
For all of you who does not know, Torin Yater-Wallace's father has just released a book called "Forgive us our spins" which gives an insight on the so called "future spins".
It only costs 24.95$ on Amazon.com, and it is worth every penny.
