So I turned my tv on at 10:30 tonight and the alt games were on CBS so I was like "sweet, I'll watch some high level comp skiing by college kids in colorado." Instead I spent a half an hour cracking up watching some of these runs that included hitting rails straight and doing 1's on the jumpline.

Next was the railjam which was even worse. I saw kids yardsaleing on 2's out of a flat bar. I didn't see the end but when I left a lip 2 on was winning and a sketchy 4 off was in second. And dont even get me started on the girls...

There were a couple of dope kids mixed in but it seemed that the majority of the kids competing weren't that good. Maybe I just had high expectations for a comp that is supposed to determine the "national champion" of college freesking. Just my thoughts
 
Skiing at a high level and getting to classes is fucking impossible, its really one or the other for most people. We cant all be John Symms.
 
college scene is stacked. just noone really bothers to compete for a spot at the alt game nationals. you can ski 4-5 days a week, have a part time job, and get to every single class; it just takes a lot of effort. Adding a silly competition schedule doesn't make sense to a lot of college kids(myself included).

not saying i ski at a high level, just saying the best skiers at UVM didn't do a single competition that would qualify them for nationals. We definately sent some good skiers out there, just not the best we've got.
