You have to be strong as hell to throw that kind of weight around on skis though.I'm 6'5 210. It always seems like for a guy like me its so much harder to hit most tricks, physically. It just takes a lot more energy to hit anything.
and if its true i have lost my only excuse for pussing out on big jumps now. "come on guys stop busting my balls im big when i fall i really get hurt..."
i agree im 6'2, 177 lbs. On this site being over 160 makes you seem like a fat man. Most think I am 160, maybe 165, and can't believe im over 10 lbs more. but i look at myself in the mirror and can't see anywhere i could shave off weight, except for my ass. age and muscle development do somethin.
you know thats funny you said that because i was thinking how sick it was that a lot of snowboarding edits have awesome 80s throwback songs. i can think of a few others, tears for fears in lame etc etc. other than tanners space age love song (which WAS AWESOME), i wish i could hear more classic 80s in ski movies.
Im like 6 2 185 and im way out of shape in my legs.
skiers are so skinny cuz everyone blazes and binge drinks so much, it kinda fucks with your diet/heart/metabolism. if you are a nike acg athlete, i dont think you do too much of that.
you get paid to ski, so when ur not skiing you better not be beating it on the couch, you best be at the gym.
go to the gym 4 days a week for a month and ull be suprised.
