alrite weve seen a lot of switch 10s in the past years, so lets see more stylish lower rotations, which according to 99.9% of the people in this thread will definitly fix the problem and keep everyone happy.
the thing is there is no way that is true. in big air and slope youre looking for the BEST trick or tricks, if you want the most stylish and slow youre gonna need your own competition like Air & Style in snowboarding. no one can be serious when they say a switch 7 is better than a 10 when both are steezed to the max, it just doesnt make sense. also if the rotations are lowered ill guarentee that kids on NS and everywhere will continue to complain simply because these will be tricks that most of them can do, itll get them in the mindstate that, oh, a switch 3, what Bishop wants to see, won the US Open Big Air or X Games, I can do that shit, pros are lame, etc, etc. you could say the big spins should be for videos, but then they have infinite attempts at stomping them with steeze, in comps you have one or two, which makes it so impressive. This is the thing, switch 10s in comps seperate pros from the rest of the skiing population, they do tricks most people cannont, WITH style, even though lower rotations CAN look better.
unless the judging changes, which isnt gonna happen, why wouldnt schiller or anybody throw 10s, 12s, 14s, or whatever it takes to win, to please all of us? or would they rather spin a few more rotations, still make it look fuckin redic, and win mad $$$.
snowboarding went through a similar phase, 3 or 4 years ago you saw 10s and 12s winning comps, that kinda died down in the past few years, BUT shaun white still win X Games and the Honda Session throwin 10s down the whole hill, Andreas Wiig even went for 4 10s in his run at Honda Sessions.
so, even though we all like low, smooth rotations, theres no chance theyre gonna overtake the higher, still smooth, rotation just because they arent as good. this whole debate needs to end cause is not acheiving anything.
