I don't have a problem with racers. Racers are just skiers too trying to have fun.. I do however have a problem with the snobby ass people who think they are the shit because their daddy bought them race stock skis and are told how special they are everyday. People need to chill out and enjoy the mountain. And unless you're being a fuck I don't have problem with you

I like playing with my Huck Dollie
mike_hunt10 - i am a firm believer that Nick is infact dumb... I've never met the dude but he just seams like a huge tool... and to be completely in love with a chick off the net who doesn't like him... now that just makes you a big loser. I don't like you and you smell bad (says so in your nickname even).

not everyone is good at hitting the big air shit, but at least the racers can go anywhere on the mountain and ski with a bit of style! you might think that racers are gay etc etc but the truth of the matter is you are just jelous that they can ski better than you and some of them can even pull off sicker and meaner tricks! i mean i look at some freestyler's and some of them can't ski for shit but they can pull off some phatt tricks! and just for the record iam not a person that hates freestylers because i actually love watching you guys going big and myself i like going big or pushing myself to the limits!
but stop being dumb ass panzies and putting down all racers because you don't like racing!! if anything at all join forces and fight against people that put down skiing and the freestyle because freestyle skiing is ten times better than what is use to be and more exciting!

RACING IS FUCKING THE GAYEST SHIT IN THE WORLD
SO HERE'S A STATEMENT
*** FUCK YOU RACING FAGGOTS ***

*** FUCK YOU RACING FAGGOTS ***
i race for my school and i have a friend who races (i come grom mogul backround) and it fucking bugs the shit out of me when he says racers are soo much better than freestyle or that freestyle is gay or moguls is gay or short swings are gay. i mean man he skis park but it fucking pisses me off and other kids i race with are WAAAAy too cocky so if i meet a cool racer i'll give you guys respect, but you aren't any better than freestylers sorry. Racing is soo esay anyways.
Here is a post I made on another Internet forum a while back that addressed the issue of who was most technically-able to ski what terrain on the mountain. As such, I wholly disagree with powder99's comments...
'To say 'a good racer would smoke most mogul skiers on groomed runs, while a good mogul skier would smoke most racers in a mogul run' is an oversimplistic way to look at it.
Generally speaking, in the realm of professional skiing, people with strong alpine racing backgrounds dominate the big mountain scene. Also, people with strong freestyle moguls, and to a lesser extent, freestyle aerials, backgrounds dominate new school freestyle/park skiing/jibbing.
MY only beef with the debate is to say mogul skiers and their abilities can be compartmentalized into just the mogul terrain, and the park. To say it's just 'one type of skiing' and not account for what effect mogul technique has on skiing the rest of the mountain is ignorant. The fact is, if you took all types of skiers -- racers, mogul skiers, backcountry specialists, jibbers, instructors, etc. -- it would be the mogul skiers who excelled the most in the most types of terrain and disciplines. 95 out of 100 alpine racers can't ski moguls worth crap, whereas 95 out of 100 mogul skiers could ski a GS course reasonably well. The same applies to skiing crud, powder and ofcourse park. In fact, if you can believe it, many racers avoid powder at all costs because they don't want to lose the feeling of setting an edge!
In any event, why don't you go ask Plake, Douglas, Smart, etc. who the overall best skier on the mountain is, and I'd bet they'd say it's the bump skier!'

Dude where did you get your info about 95 out of 100 racers couldn't ski bumps, let me guess you got it out of your ass, you can't make up your own numbers, and the fact that 95 out of 100 mogual skiers could ski a GS course well is shit also, G.S is a lot more than going around gates, it takes a lot experiance to do it well, also a mogual skier would have to widen his stance before he even came close to a course, all im trying to say is don't make up your own numbers, if you want to bash racers don't make shit up

powder99, I'm not making anything up. Everyone knows that skiing a GS course does not require superstar skiing experience. 6 yr olds do it in Nancy Greene programs. The fact that there are fewer kids participating in mogul skiing is proof-positive that it's a more difficult form of skiing than racing and that it requires a broader skill set. I am not trying to take away from the skills of the top racers, as they are much better at skiing gates than any mogul skier, and would smoke anyone. That's not the issue here. My point is that GENERALLY, when you put a bump skier in a race course, they will do much better than a racer in a mogul run, and that's an established fact that doesn't need any supporting 'numbers'.
dude, there is a big difference in skiing a G.S course badly and skiing a G.S course well, yes anyone can make there way down a G.S course even little nancy greeners, but are they skiing it well? NO, there is a big difference in getting down, and getting down as fast as possible, you have to know the right line and when to pressure your ski. G.S is not as easy as it looks, so once again i ask you to get your facts straight

I'm quite certain that my facts are straight. I will clarify for you further.
Generally speaking, a club level mogul skier will be able to ski a GS course REASONABLY well. That is, he or she will be able to make their way down the course, maybe not in the fastest time, but certainly in a decent time (after all, time is all that matters). They won't beat out the hardened race pros, but they'll make it down and post a respectable time. Why do I say this? Because I've seen mogul skiers enter GS things for fun, and often give the racers a run for their money. I am not going to cite specific examples. This is just what I've seen in my many years as a skier.
On the other hand, my experience with club level racers, in the vast majority of situations, has been that their attempts to ski moguls are met with either abominable technique, a brief flirtation with 3 moguls then a quick escape back to the flats, or an outright yard sale. And that's just the mogul part -- there's still the jumping, too. These are facts that no mogul skier would dispute.
The above addresses SPECIFICALLY moguls and GS racing. Take mogullers and racers to the other parts of the mountain (backcountry, park, etc.) and you'll often find the mogullers being the most apt to ski those terrains well, too. I understand, powder99, the fact that you're defensive about this, and I appreciate that. I have a lot of respect for good racers and their ability to do what they enjoy well. My only point is to draw distinctions when you take those same athletes and place them in situations outside their comfort zones...

By the way, I ski downhill racing AND Moguls, and moguls kicks the shit out of racing, but i do both because i want to be a good all around skier. What i cant understand is why anybody in their right mind would want to go up and ski the same course all day to shave maybe a milisecond off their time, dont you get bored? i sure do. On the other hand i feel the same way about the people who go up, build a kicker and just hike it all day. I cant understand that.
And i think we can all agree that aerialists and long jumpers have the biggest balls of them all.
