You don't exactly need a lot of skiing skills though when the whole point of the event is to do twirly stuff in mid air.
I'll watch anything snow sport related on the telly but I still don't really get the point of the big air comp, the other new stuff like skier cross i understand (and fancy having a crack at) but big air just looks like any other gymnastic event but on a different media.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

FenlandSkier, Stand on the top of a big air kicker and then add 25'. I require a diaper just to look over the edge! these guys are sometimes dropping 60' total and adding rotation in 3 axis. Serious stones man, and a valid snowsport. And if you think there's no ski skill involved, just try riding up to the lip in a way that will allow you to launch with control.

I didn't say no ski skill, I said not a lot. I'd liken it to a high jumper not needing to be that much of a runner.
I'd imagine his other skills would also translate well to the half pipe.

Actually Oisin is one of those rare "pin-striped" boarders and can often be seen arriving at the slope wearing a bowler, carrying an umbrella and holding a copy of the Telegraph under one arm.
