I'm not going to lie, that was a pretty good post.... awesome actually. But, if the park community doesn't have anyone concerned about safety and common sense with regards to terrain park users responsibilities, then this alarming trend of ski hills shutting down their park operations is going...

Good god, why do I even waste my time responding to shit like this? Do you think at our park we don't also flip out on people who stop in landings? Of course we do. But for the last time (and seriously I'm fucking done after this).... If you don't know that a landing is clear when you hit the...

Come to our park with an attitude like that, you'll be escorted out of there in seconds. Maybe you should try telling that idiotic theory to the staff at any terrain park. "It's never the jumpers fault" Holy fuck that's just incredible that people like you are even allowed to ski. That's the...

Awesome quote, I think we'll put that one up in the parks office under the heading "people unclear on the concept". What, do you think you have a god given right to send it off any booter regardless of what is on the other side simply because you can't see it? If you really can't figure out...

Yeah, exactly. And that's why 100% of the responsibility has to fall on the jumper. In either case, the actions of the jumper remain the same - Which is to say: they went blindly into an unconfirmed landing and hit someone who they couldn't see when they took off. So the reasons behind why...

Well, if you ever crash really bad in the park and are lying there knocked out in the landing, being in effect "not visible from above". I would imagine that in that situation, if someone were to hit the jump and land on you, you might not feel that it is very much of a "combined fault". Or if...

Unless somebody cuts into your flight path AFTER you take off, then yes, it is your fault, not just a little bit, but 100%.. Let's put it this way, I work in parks, and have for many years. People who stop or stand in landings get lectured hard, because they are generally uneducated idiots who...

OK genius, do you need it spelled out for you? Imagine you just fell, then because you hit hard, rung your bell, whatever, you took a couple seconds to stand up. Right when you get to your feet, some kid lands on you. To the kid in the air, he comes over the knoll and simply sees "some idiot...

Uh, no kidding really? Anyways, we all know that, and we all know how stupid it is to do that. And if the guy was someone who just stopped there, then yes, it was stupid and someone should let him know that. HOWEVER, "downhill skier has the right of way" always takes priority over "don't stop...

Wow, nobody in this thread seems to consider the fact that it's YOUR responsibility to make sure a landing is clear. No wonder so many skiers out there look at twin tippers as retarded ego-centric idiots. Maybe the guy who got landed on was there because he just fell on the landing and had...

-Built in Altimeter, GPS, and LCD touchscreen -Grenade launcher -Klister wax slick function (to slow down pursuers) -graphics should change color as the temp changes, kind of like those old "hypercolor" t-shirts -hollow bindings that also function as canteens -pop-out hang glider wings for...

You need to learn a little something called the skiers responsibility code. It's your responsibility to avoid anyone downhill from you, and to scope out terrain if you can't see it. For all you know, he was lying there because he just fell, so quit blaming your obvious screw-up on an innocent...

Yeah, the end of skiing is near. The end of "free" skiing. Why? Because of all the people who seem to think that their opinion should have anything to do with what another skier feels like doing, like the majority of this thread. Maybe Simon should check in with NS for approval before he...

That paraphrase is taking it a little over the top. The point was simply that you have to look at the depth of field when you consider the weight of a result. And yes, right now the North American events generally have much greater depth of talent than some of the other events. The athletes...

Just for pure nostalgia, here's the clip of the first ever skier big air X-Games gold medal jump, JF Cusson. http://espn.go.com/media/xgames/2000/0119/video/0119jfc.avi Sorry, still don't know how to embed, or even make it a link, but I'm sure there's somebody smart on here that will take care...

He tore his pcl (posterior cruciate ligament). He was coaching at Momentum camp in whistler all summer, and was telling people that he was "taking it easy" but still shredding pretty hard, he built and sessioned some pretty cool rock gaps in their lane.

Doubt it, it will probably be one big category, just like US Open, Aspen Open, etc. But hey, who needs age categories anyways? I think Derek Spong was only around 14 when he hit the podium at US Open. Makes for a much more legit result for a young'un when they are in the mix with everybody.

I suppose the confusion is excusable, I guess it's easy to take something like that the wrong way. But you are reading too much into it. By "may be required to participate in competition drug testing", they are talking about what "may" happen if you use that membership to enter an event that...
