Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Er, off the scale cool in my opinion especially if they can ski as well and take it in to the backcountry like Candide and Tanner...

Yeah, its cool. I spend alot of my time in the park when there's not fresh snow, it's fun.

As to where it came from - skiers have always jumped and done tricks. Just now there are the terrain parks and the equipment for it to really progress. Late 90s onwards the real progression started with people starting to ski backwards, and ride in the 'snowboard' parks. A few companies introducted a twin tip to their range, and it snowballed (sorry!) from there.

All skis will have changed in 10 years, not just park skis.

Seems Dumont is starting to get left behind these days - people are starting to go as big as him in the pipe now, and they're throwing more technical tricks.

Haha, yeah the skiboarding in the Xgames was funny eh! Mike Nick and Jason Levinthal!

Dumonts record in the quarterpipe was 3 years ago (Colby West went as high as Simon, but as he's not sponsored by Redbull, it was kinda ignored!), and TBC was even further back. He may up his game, but I don't see him keeping up for much longer.

In the X-Games this year, they had an event almost purpose made for him in the halfpipe highest air, but he struggled to get close.

Wow, is this Newschoolers?

Freestyle is Ok, it's nothing on freeride though.

Didn't freestyle as a 'discipline' come from moguls? Which I'm damn sure they never used snowblades/skiboards for.

Yeah, good point. In the early days of freestyle in its newest incarnation there were various areas where people came in from. Most like JF, JP, Vinny D etc came through moguls/hotdogging, and there were also the guys like Mike Nick, Iannick B or Mike Wilson who came from skiboarding.

Freestyle is cool as long as you do it in combination with freeriding.. or something just freestyle on slopes is impressive but i imagine it a bit boring just up and down allways the same jump and slope..!

sub zero on the top gear scale of things.

there are certain sports like running that you have to be fit for but no skill

some no fitness but skill - curling

various others like car racing that need both but the winning car looks like all the others


then, sports like freestyle have it all and you need to be creative
