    Do you empathize with people who are suffering?

    Right this moment, there's children dying of cancer. Teenagers, and people in their twenties too, that were living normal healthy lives, got diagnosed with cancer, and are now having existential panic attacks about the idea of ceasing to exist and the fact that they might never see the ocean...

    Have you ever truly suffered?

    Have you ever lost immediate family? Have you ever had a bear eat off a limb? Have you ever been falsely accused? Have you ever been bullied to the point where you were struggling to survive? Have you ever had cancer? Have you ever truly suffered in any way?

    Ting ting ting ahem: I barely graduated high school

    I just wanted to put that out there. Most people here graduated uni, are in uni, or are on their way to uni. I just want to say I'm a barely educated guy who's background is probably poorer than yours. What am I going to do with my life? Not sure. I could wash car windows, do manual labour...

    Is snowboarding cooler than skiing :(

    Snowboards are big fat things that look cool to ride while skis are like the skinny twigs made from the left over materials at the snowboard factory :( It's like eating the cheap small chicken wings instead of the more expensive chicken drum sticks :( Snowboarders have names like Chad, Brad...

    What's the point of being good at skiing?

    Or anything for that matter. Tricks that blew people's minds 30 years ago are being landed by 5 year olds in the park. Same thing with anything. Skateboarding, surfing, etc. Even dancing. Michael Jackson blew people's minds but if you watch him dance today it just seems so mediocre compared to...

    Wacked a rail hard and now I need surgery. Anyone know anything about this type of surgery?

    Last winter I hit my knee on a rail really hard. I thought it was all ok but then a few months later I started getting knee pain. I got an MRI and the doc found a piece of cartilage behind my knee cap had broken off, apparently from a direct blow to the knee cap (I assume it was the rail). Now...

    First quad cork 1800?

    We've seen the switch quad cork 1620 from Wacko. Who will be the first to do a forward quad cork 1800?

    How to find people to ski with?

    I usually ski the park alone and I honestly do still enjoy it but I want a crew. How do you meet people to ski with when you don't know anyone on the mountain?

    First cosack advice?

    Hey guys I've been getting into the park lately and have got some basic tricks down like FS 270 out, 180, 360, sw 180. But it's time for me to sack up and chuck my first cosack. I'm kinda nervous tbh. I've been practicing on the tramp all summer and I can do them pretty well. Any tips for trying...

    Do you ever worry about your ACLs?

    It seems the majority of freeskiers tear them by their mid 20s at least. The number of ACL tears in this sport is too damn high imo. Does it worry you when you ski?

    Slopestyle having a best trick part

    I think it would be awesome if X-Games slopestyle followed a format like Streetleague. Two runs for each skier as per usual, scores from 0-10, then two runs for best trick where skiers do one trick on whatever feature on the course they want, which also gets a 0-10 score. Then the skier with the...

    How are you supposed to juggle skiing and university?

    I want to get good at park skiing. At the moment I have some basic skills. But I want to progress past this beginning stage and learn more advanced tricks like 810, rodeo, switch flips, and eventually doubles. I'm going into uni this year at age 20 (late I know) and I'll probably find it hard to...

    What if a dog made it to X Games

    Like after Bobby Brown there's this golden retriever at the top on four little skis fully decked out with a helmet goggles and everything. And the commentators are all like "Colby set to drop in, he's a 5 year old golden retriever comin' out of Colorado" like it's all totally normal. Then he...

    How do you start learning doubles?

    Do you need to sign up for a gymnastics club or just practice a lot on the regular tramps at a place like Skyzone? I don't have access to olympic trampolines except one at a local tramp place which is surrounded by walls for some reason so it's not that safe. I also have access to a foam pit...

    How difficult do you think ski tricks are compared to skateboarding tricks?

    It took me months to learn how to do an ollie and I practiced every day. But I managed to land my first 360 on skis first try and got them down comfortably after a few days, then at the end of last season started doing them off medium sized park jumps and even got the 540 down in the last few...
