I have felt the same way at times. It is like you feel as if you are just wasting your time. There are so many other things in life, but why have you kept skiing? There is a reason there. You are going into college and have a lot of other things on your mind, but think, there is a reason you...
yea, i got an oakley 2x4 coat, a bonfire, 20,000 mm water proof coat, black demin bonfire pants, and a new giro helmet with the audio series for $380 all together. Best deal ive ever gotten! But, you have to go the frist day to get the best deal.
I just got some awesome new ski clothes last night. I was sporting them all last night at my fraternity house....it was sweet. Anyone who makes fun of you is just jealous!
i wear boxers, and full body armor. You should really check this stuff out, www.skeletools.com They have awesome full body armor, keeps you hella warm no matter what the conitions, and they are great for your only layer in the spring or summer, and they have saved my life more than once last...
yea, if you spin too early, you change your launch angle from straight up to sideways, so you will travel sideways.....wait until you can fell the time difference from when your feet leave the tramp to when you start the trick.....then you will most likely land in the center
yea, that is frickin awesome....check out my profile...i have a few pics from NZ, and I know one of snowpark with their 26 foot wall ride and ginormous rainbow c rail.
I just tore mine on valentine's day. One thing you definitely need to do is ICE. Ice is key after surgery to keep swelling down. I didnt do it enough and now im paying for it. Ice it all day long, 20 on 20 off, for the first few weeks. Use crutches as long as it feels unstable. Do Not fall...
Ive been a ski instructor for 7 years. Do not worry about what to say, especially if it is little kids. All the parents care about is to see their kid on skis, thats all they want. Even if the kid is crying, they know that you most likely can't help it. But, do have some kind of Gummy candy...
yea, if you ever have the chance go check out skiing in NZ. It is seriously the coolest place on the face of this earth. I was at snowpark for 5 weeks last summer and that place is absolutely amazing. It is so much fun to just be able to jib rails and hit jumps all day long in that kind of...
Yea, so i went to the doctor the other day for a routine check up on my knee, before i went down to Mammoth Mountain for a week, expecting the doctor to say go for it b/c my knee doesnt hurt really at all anymore from my fall during the pipe comp at snoqualmie on Feb 14. But, to my surprise, he...
I was down in NZ for 5 weeks last ski season. The north island can be pretty crappy. A lot of the time is is warm and the weather is crappy. The south island is the place to be. If you like steeps, definitely go to Treble Cone. Treble cone has some awesome shoots and bowls and they got a...
First of all, backflips are one the the most dangerous tricks you can do. You are totally upside down for the most amount of time possible for any trick. Not to say that they aren't fun, they are one of my favorite tricks, especially to throw off like a 50 footer. Greatest feeling on this...
Just to tell you guys scared about going into a 4 year university and thinking that you will have no time to ski. That is rediculous. First of all, if you really love skiing, you probrably chose a school close to a ski hill. Mine is 45 minutes away. Secondly, i am a full time student (15...
Definitely well said. While i do not have the time to sit and watch movies endlessly and sit in the library and drool over the us open, i feel the same way at all times. I am absolutely addicted to the feeling of deep pow, flying through the air completely upside down, and stepping it up to...
