Some folks assert that “while catching air, there's no way someone can get hurt skiing”. Another great truism, right?
I was reminded of it during a family discussion that got started as we were watching the Olympic men's half-pipe event. I've never liked snow-related events when athletes spend more than 10 percent of their competitive run, gesticulating and flying up in the air.
In those instances, contact with snow is so short that skiing or snowboarding skills becomes totally accessory to the performance. This is obviously true with freestyle aerials, half-pipe and slope-side (both on skis and snowboard).
In my opinion, these athletic prowess belong to the circus and not to winter sports. What's your take on this?
