i'd be pissed if they got this whole comp set up with this perfect jump and the girls weren't even throwing switch tens. if i was a sponsor paying for this comp, travel budgets, building the features etc, i'd at least expect to see some marketable tricks like dubs and steezy shit, but i guess a switch 10 is a start its only like 10 years behind male skiing
yea soo stoked for the ladies!!! i dont give a fuck about slow progression looks sick and there probably having a blast!! watching it gets me stoked to ski
yeah
being stoked is key, main reason why i ski. i am not a pro or anything but being stoked (is greater than) progression for the sake of progression. (in my opinion)
"There was nothing smaller than a 720 today. It was insane," said Ashley Battersby, who finished sixth after stomping a switch 9 for the first time and nearly landing a switch 10. "I think it's huge for us because we've been fighting for equality for a very long time."
sigh...
fighting for equality? try something that isn't 12 years behind the scene.
nothing smaller than a 7? congrats, i got 7's on lock and a bag of corks. does that mean i should be sponsored and paid to travel the world and ski for free? equality? you want it? you wouldn't be sponsored and couldn't place in the amateur division of a single comp at my local mountain, rails or jumps.
lets just say if a girl stomps a sw 10 i'm pumped for her. if she claims that she wants to be considered equal with the guys, i just don't understand that. If you want to be considered equal, enter the mens comps. just saying though, a sw 10 would have probably come 4th or 5th in the amateur division at my local mountains big air.
I am 110% convinced there isn't one guy in this thread who would want his already bitchin hot girlfriend to slay him in the park. How awkward would that be? I like that guys are better than me, and personally I wouldn't have it any other way. You're all smelly, hairy, and dirty. You've got to have SOMETHING going for you... ;-)
One another note, fuck yeah ladies!!! So stoked for you girls, killing it!!!
Really? It drives my boyfriend CRAZY! Haha. Maybe he doesn't appreciate me enough. SOOOO BREAKING UP WITH HIM! =p
But yeah, I don't really like that he's not better than me. We rode with my ex the other day (whom we're both mutual friends with) and he could tell how much I loved how good my ex is.
I love watching you boys and how good your are and watching your do all that scary dangerous stuff. It's sexy and I like that you guys can show me how to do stuff and give me pointers and look like you have balls. I don't mind the talent difference and I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about it.
Each to their own I guess.
I bet I'm better at being pregnant so kiss my ass.
Ha, I'm friends with a couple girls who are from the East coast and are better at park then me. There's this girl I always see at Keystone who slays the park (never seen her outside of it though) and seeing her always gives me a raging clue.
