along with the butters (schiller, pep, pollard) and off axis onto rails (vanular, wallisch, candide) and the best prediction was switch on, switch ups, and spins on and off of urban rails. Seems so obvious

i think for slope, the progresion is moving towards smoother grabs and doing the same tricks off bigger jumps, plus spinning both ways smoother.  I also think that rails are kind of at a stand still.  Pipe and BC shit is going to be SO hot in the coming years.

holy shit, i was reading through that thinking "everyone does this stuff, they're just talking about what already happens" then i read the date, it's pretty amazing.

I think a large part of the futre of skiing lies in more technical grinds both on street and the park, ie. 270 byn soles, nose to tail switch ups, crossed ski, grabed and broken grinds on things you wouldn't think possible, royales and other rollerblader grinds (skateboarders will deny they ever were and say skiiers did them 1st) with spins in/out and more empisis on being original and having your own style.

On jumps i think style is the only thing that can progress, people will do tricks all 4 ways with equal amounts of steeze(this sort of already happens) and make the tricks they do look like there own more. i can't think what new airs would excite me, like spinnig more, no, flipping more, no...

i really really hope that it doesnt come to more switchups and more spins on to rails...its the same spin to win bullshit every one hates on on jumps. everyone will be turning into gagnier...630 on 4 switchups 450 out, its stupid. There should be a rotation limit for rails, where if you surpass that limit, the rail knows and moves over a couple inches so you end up racking yo shit. thats progression

As far as the park and comps go such as bigair, its all about switch hits and throwing doubles. Everyone from the NAO and Nippon said that during practice and such it was a doublesfest. i think they willl play a large part in next years comps.

mattwalkerthere will be no 'new tricks' just more tech stuff, and grabs will get longer, and sicker. I bet in 3 years the pros will do like switch cork 10 nose grabs off like a 70 foot table... also there will be more combos like the wilson flip... rails will be bigger and burlier...9 kinks... but the tables will stay the same at 50-80 feet but the tricks will be sooo stylie and big and pretty.

Not sure how big this is but it's definitely the biggest or close to.

Just goes to show how much progression has slowed recently. The golden years for progression was that 2008-2012 period.

As somebody who's been away for a while, does it feel more dead now? It's hard for me to judge because I never really left, and it all blurs together for me

I've been around. Just not posting so much in NSG.



As for "NS is dead"

No. Not really.

You just don't recognize a lot of the same people is all.



It's not what it was 10 years ago, sure. But forum sites are not really as popular as they once were anyway. I've seen a downtrend on other sites too. SBNation is a perfect example of this. And hell, I remember people saying NS was dead in like 2008 as well. It's "cool" to say something is "dead" or "over" or some other "I'm too trendy for that, now" nonsense



People who bitch that NS is dead are the same people who say everything else is dead or sucks as well.

"TV Sucks now, I wish the 90's were back"

"Cars aren't as cool as they were in the 80's"

"Why can't I look as cool as my parents did in this Polaroid from 1973"

"Psh, protests were way better back in the 1960's"

Funny thing about the whole NS is dead thing that seems to pop up in every thread. I went back and scrolled through threads 10+ years old and the same subject was coming up then. Soooooo....

Seeing it unfold is good and dudes having their own style is awesome

more like 2000-2008.
PBP's trailers for those years.

imo after that it has just been bigger and more sketchy hits.
