funeralI think that filming a street segment with shittiest cameras on earth and doing weird ass dance moves without poles looks fucking dumb.
yungcurvSend a big wall to rail and you'll see why no one wants to do it anymore. The people skiing urban now are having way more fun and getting more views via instagram than the stept guys ever got. As much as I'd like to see the big urban stuff again it doesn't make much sense for anyone to do it because they can get the same views jibbing a bench. Basically if you want to see big urban stuff now I think you're gonna have to film it yourself.
RparrSo now it’s all about how many Instagram views you can get? That’s freaking lame

funeralYo guys, I just want to write post about modernday-urbanskiing. I will be honest, it´s completely bullshit. I think that filming a street segment with shittiest cameras on earth and doing weird ass dance moves without poles looks fucking dumb. When stept stopped filming movies, urban skiing died. They did know what the deal is, big ass rails to walls and real fucking shit. Nowdays when you want to watch fresh segments you see ten guys with skis on jibbing 2 inch high bench. I hope this stupid trend will end soon. And this is just my opinion, what you guys think about this? Peace out and shred in peace!
Rparrplz stept we need you, save us from this:

nxtyrsfulltiltsI remember seeing a video on the Vishnu instagram of a bunch of guys skiing on a playground and I had more fun watching it than most X games real ski videos.

GrandThingsI noticed a lot of the same spots in Eat the Guts that the Stept guys used to hit (that over-ledge to down flat rail thing, I think Sean Jordan 450'd into, comes to mind) but even they arent touching some of those burly spots Cam and Clayton used to hit
HolteI think I understand what you're saying OP. Stept was super visible. Martini and crew pushed the sport for a good number of years, and nobody has really filled that hole the last couple seasons. But it will happen. People said the same thing about big backcountry hits after Ostness moved away, but they returned, in formats like Parker White and Chris Logan's series, and Durtschi and crew and everybody else on the planet going back out to Little Cottonwood last season. Ski movies are dying - they have been for a decade, but urban isn't going anywhere.
