A bunch of y'all told me not to criticize the Olympic snowboarders because I can't do any better. The only problem is that I can.

Sorry to tell you but landing 1080's is not that hard, that's considered the most difficult trick on a novice level. Like, once you land a 1080, you're ready to move onto intermediate level tricks like corkscrews and twists. I can land 1080's all day long and make it look easy.

That's nice. Now evolve onto skis. ;)

@MethDozer You mean "devolve." Skiing is lame. For tricks, at least. It's great for cross country.

@BlueMetalChick Nah, there's actually more freedom to perform different tricks and tackle terrain and thats why it's gaining popularity over boarding by leaps and bounds again.

Evolve and grab a pair of telemarks.

@MethDozer Skiing is inherently inferior when it comes to tricks. There just isn't the same capacity for spins, grabs, and tweaks. not to mention rails on a pair of skis is like kiddie play. Terrain parks on a snowboard is superior.

@BlueMetalChick Meh, kids stuff and if you say so. Watching the scenes over the years says quite the opposite.

@MethDozer Snowboarding requires a lot more skill, and is a lot more rewarding, for stunts and tricks. But it's essentially useless for anything that isn't a constant downhill, which is where skiing shines.

@BlueMetalChick I like both but snowboarding gets boring a lot quicker. It's so limiting.

@MethDozer Despite being more diverse and more varied than skiing?

@BlueMetalChick It's not really. Not anymore anyway.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@MethDozer Maybe not anymore. Mostly because half the riders are little pricks who do skateboard moves.

@BlueMetalChick
Well a few of us tried to do BMX tricks back in the 90's but it didn't work out so well.
