now hold on. i never said i dont respect female skiers. shit, i love seein girls skiin the park. thats definatly the direction our sport needs to be headin.
however, just cause someones stronger doesnt mean it wont hurt as much. and like i said, plenty of guy skiers are far from being in top pyshical shape. they are just an ordinary pyshique. its just basic physics. something that wieghs more hits with more force. and even if guys do have more muscle on them, then that would just level off the whole comparison. and anyway, this is besides the point.
How bout sarah burke? shes been on the sceene a long time, and while technically, shes pretty good, her style is so bad. and style isnt something you CANT have. it just comes with being comfortable. BUt in my mind, Someone like Sarah should be just as good as 90 percent of the pros out there. she has all the extras to help her out that most people dont have: year round skiing, living at a world class resort, personal trainers, access to training fascilities like water ramps and quality trampolines. i know kids here in ohio that could stomp sarah. am i saying she sucks? absolutely not. but her and kristi really should be on the same level as most of the male pros. Now, there alot of girls comin onto the scene (ashley, grete, michelle) who are a hell of a lot younger, with less expeirence, who are almost at thier levels. i know with more girls on the scene, they will definatly be better, but it does seem like they get it alot easier than guys, just cause they got tits and a pretty face.
