An apology to all

So....anyway...you guys might not even know or remember who this random midwest_rep is but anyhoo. I remember coming to this site way back in 99 when it was just a java site with a few videos and pictures, nothing else. I've been skiing since I was little and I bought the original 1080s which I still own but I now see there is no way it will ever go back to the way it used to be. Back in 2000, I remember going to my local mt. with my yellow 10's and throwing 720s and grabs and everyone was in awe. This is not the case anymore, 'everyone and their mother' has twinnies now and the amazement of tricks on skis has lost its appeal. But i guess this is good right? Progression for the sport? It is all good, props to everyone making a name for themselves in this wonderful and amazing sport. I'm 21 now, and every time I see a new kid on twin tips they are usually a punk bitch whom mouths off to me. Now I know this is not always the case but at my mt. it is. I'm just telling you how I see it. No offense intended. Bottom line: I've been part of this whole 'movement' for 5 years now. I bought degenerates when it came out and then bought state of mind(good movie johnny) but I'm moving to Chile to ski for a while so I am going to be out of the loop. I look forward to seeing what progression has taken place when I get back and just maybe I will buy a new pair of skis to replace my aging 1080's and my pocket rockets. I want to tell all the younger dudes who are just getting into it, push it and go big. BUT respect skiing and where it came from. Jibbing did not always exist and it took work and creativity to bring it where it is today. Work on the basics, learn to carve and turn. learn to put pressure on the downhill ski and learn to keep your hands forward. Well, this was a way drunken ramble. Look into what I said and don't take it lightly. Skiing is a great sport and I do it everyday, I just don't want to see it go down the drain. Keep on pushing and progressing, be unique and always ALWAYS ski for yourself. Skiing is an individual sport, it is an activity you do for yourself. Whoa, time to pass out.

whoa thats completley not what i was expecting... but wickedly well said dude... in all the posts ive read with stuff like this trying to be said, it just doesnt sound as good, or make as much sense as you did just now. my god... im in awe :)

~*I'm going skiing, it's pretty weird

when I get to the top of the slopes

I look down on the mountain side

should I traverse cross country, snow plow or parallel

or hit a mogul, baby, and watch me slip and slide

I might even do some free ride*~
 
isn't it summer in chilie now?

Yeah man, well said. I've also been newschooling since Degenerates came out and when I used to drool over the old yellow 1080s in movies like Sick Sense and wonder when I'd be able to get a pair. I can't stand the little kids who mouth off like that to the people who really did make the progression popular. Sure it took the JFs, JPs and the Vinnies but it was dudes like me and you that made it take off. They were just the catalysts.

Charge hard, live it and love it.

right on man, i remember at my hill the other day there were some kids with twin tips there just talking shit and pissing everyone off, its not even fun for me to ski anymore with that type of thing going down. like he said, ski for yourself and no one else. and to every little kid on this site, dont talk shit, go out there and practice and get good. that way the movement will continue.

 
All I've got say is this:

I wish i was old enough to say that i made a contribution to the roots of newschool. But i know exactly what your saying about punk ass twin-tipies. I hate it when in the park, other people try to make everything a competition. To many skiers dont understand the soul of skiing is not being the best.
