Also notice how the jumps are fucking 20ft? I would bet you any amount of money Devin could do a right 7 and left 9 on 20ft jumps and I would also bet any amount of money Kelly would not do either of those tricks on a jump larger than 50ft.
Taking tricks to jump that are 70+ ft isn't exactly easy, this is the soul reason why they ask for smaller jumps. I can't believe this post has so many upvotes, the masses of NS disappoint me with their foolishness.
A large part of it I think is that Kelly is just physically too small to hit/clear bigger jumps. I was at that contest and the course she hit was a smaller one the girls had an option of hitting. She was too small to be able to clear the bigger jumps on the "mens" course. We were having trouble making the jumps in shitty conditions there was no way she could make them.
Also has everyone listing child prodigies forgotten Torin?
Nope. they weren't 70 but def bigger than 20. Kelly's tricks aren't very hucked, she stomps, and grabs more than safety touches. why you gotta hate on the kid?
This was the big problem at this comp. There was a lot of discussion about opening the smaller line because her coach/dad had asked the event organizers to. In the end, it snowed the night before and speed was a major issue for all the girls competing and it was decided that the smaller line be opened up. She was almost unable to compete at that one.
Needless to say, the girl has a ton of natural talent and I'm super stoked to watch her ski. I think the second she can start competing at the big comps, the girls are going to be forced to push themselves more and step up their game. Even Henry is going to give the big guys a run for their money some day.
would like to see a video of Devin doing a right cork 7 and left 9, grabbed, off a 20 foot jump. Then I'd like to see her do that in a comp. Then I'd like to see her do a right 9, switch right 9, and switch left 9. Also make them not look completely hucked.
I'd be willing to bet money that if Kelly was bigger and could actually hit 50-60 foot jumps consistently without speed problems then she could easily throw sick grabbed 9's and no doubt 10's.
I honestly have a hard time believing kelly can't hit a 50ft jump. I see kids her size hit jumps 50+ at park city all the time... remember when kye and sean were super young in older pbp movies? they'd hit huge jumps as well....
Im not sure why you're trying to say a 12 year old boy isn't 80 lbs. Im not talking about the age of anyone ive seen, im literally talking size as big if not smaller than kelly hitting big jumps.
Eheath, I'm sorry, but I have to say this. I respect you for expressing your opinion and all, but most of the times you are talking ignorant shit about stuff that you really don't have a clue of.
