Monzanator 3,569 Posted February 3, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I'm pretty sure performing big air on skis is easier than snowboard due to weight factor alone? Not that it's actually any safer though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, now what is she doing there . It’s takes tremendous amount of skill to double cork from Beijing, across the Pacific Ocean, past my house, and land at Park City “Sport has the power to change the world.

Women casually throwing double corks and 1080s and eight of the ten men stomping big tricks on their first jump, with the two in last place going down on a triple 1620 and 1800... This is way better than any Snowboard big air event that has ever been at the FIS worlds, that’s for sure. This was what I was thinking when I watched earlier. I love seeing the progression. Also, shoutout the Fabian Boesch with that awesome, original triple cork. NearPup 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Well, she’s obviously off to a poor start at the World Championships. Good to see China developing its freeskiing program though, hopeful she makes it over to compete in the slopestyle event “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
