@EdBrazil, @dchristman The problem with tricks as a sport is the scrutiny. Everyone thinks they are an expert and nit picks away at an incredible performance, unlike slalom and jump. Every old timer comes out to put their negativity on an amazing performance. How about some kind worlds instead of your criticism.
@edbrazil - here is the rule for TS before you mumble about NC. I'd like to know why and how you would measure 2m.
AWSA Rule book:
"A Side Slide includes a 90-degree turn from skiing position and a return to
skiing position in the original direction. In order for a Side Slide to be a
creditable trick, the skier must hesitate before commencing the trick, turn 90
degrees to either side, stop, return to the starting position, and stop. To
perform the reverse, the skier must turn 90 degrees in the opposite direction,
stop, return to the starting position, and hesitate again."
You had a comment on her Mobe5f in a past video. Instead of praising her for being the first women to do a RMobe5F you comment about it landing short a few degrees short. How about keeping it to yourself if you can't say something positive. As far as W7, you are incorrect.
Maybe our sport would have more participants and be successful if people try to praise and celebrate good performances instead of tearing everyone down. There are less imperfections in this run than many past world records. Judging criteria changes and makes setting new records almost impossible.
Most will never ever put the work in that it takes to achieve this level of skiing. Most will never know what it feels like to do this in a sport that gives so little back. And almost noone understands the feeling to get almost more criticism than praise for the best performance ever in a sport. Thanks for those who have sent kind words, it's much appreciated to know that some do appreciate and respect a great performance.
Congrats to Anna and Aliaksei on new pending World Records established this past Friday at Fluid. I'm sure that these videos will also be protected until reviewed by the committee. Unfortunately we can't promote the sport with them instead.
