How much does your family know about freeskiing?

My mother and father think I am absolutely ridiculous for wearing XL pants... basically anything bigger than a medium is just wayyy too big. Haha they'll never understand.
 
id say my parents know a fair amount. my dad will try a box every now and again and knows what afterbang is, and my mom...er...santa put a saga sticker pack in my stocking this year.
 
my parents are pretty with it. my dad skied his whole life, and both my parents are really involved in what I do. I'm lucky, and I do my best to educate them. hell, one time my dad mounted my skis anderson without me saying anything or even knowing he was doing it, he measured and mounted at dead center.
 
my mom's parents watched after dark with me christmas eve, they loved Delorme. My dad understands most stuff about free skiing
 
my dad is a crazy good skier, rips everything except park, but he's not really up on the actual scene of skiing. he just kind of gets out there and does it. i'm pretty sure he thinks simon dumont is the only pro though. every time we go into oakley he asks if i "want any simon dumont stuff"......oh jeez. love him for trying though!
 
Not much at all. My dad has skied his whole life. But like a complete Gaper. He still loves it though. Which is all that matters really
 
My Dad knows a bit about park but he loves the backcountry and the mountaineering aspects of it, he's the reason I'm getting into Tele. Parents have skied a good portion of their lives but never really noticed the whole free skiing thing. My Dad just loves great groomed runs and fun days, which makes him of of the best people to ski with.
 
My mom understands the big clothes look, she really just hopes im safe. My dad on the other hand knows quite a bit. When i was out skiing he texted me to tell me about wallisch's run in which he said "wallisch won slope, he stomped everything and he did switch double rodeo and unnat switch dub rodeo. I liked Gun Kenworthys run better" He knows what the tricks are
 
my dads prettty good actually, he can tell rodeo's apart from corks and mistys and stuff like tha and hes almost got the spins down too
 
All my huge stuff doesn't bother them, but for some reason the can't get past my tiny poles...
 
makes sense. I thought you meant XL saga or something. Those are baggy on me and I'm 6'1"
 
My family came to a rail competish, they cheered the one time i fell and screamed my name. I was so ashamed!
 
anytime i'm about to go skiing he tells me "i dont want to have to wipe your ass when you get paralized SO BE FUCKING CAREFUL" he doesn't know that i'm even a freeskier. If he did i'd have to wipe HIS ass
 
haha i was watching dew tour at the mountain and my dad texted me,"watching tom wallisch at dew tour today. awesome, but whats with the bird thing???" my dad knows a little bit but not very much
 
my parents still call it "snowboard park", also my dad doesnt want me to wear baggy clothing and my mom kinda knows the style but thats it.
 
every year i go through the same classic, "isn't that jacket too big for you?" and my dad always calls the gopro the gosport.
 
must be real awkward for him with all the "tits or GTFO" and women based comments everywhere
 
Well my dad is very involved in Armada and talks to Tanner Hall every now and then and my mom doesnt know much but she tries to learn
My dad also blew his shoulder last year trying a handrail, i give him credit considering he is 53
 
My sister gave me some blizzard answers that her husband who is sponsored by blizzard didn't use last season. They kinda know what's good.
 
I'm honestly curious why you just started posting like gangbusters like 3 months ago?

It seems like you, wilgums, and jhendrix just totally hold down the idiot brigade around here, all of you started posting right around the same time. Somehow all three stay somewhat...relevant? though. Its a fucking trip.
 
i told my mom i was doing a rail jam, and she replied, not sure what that is but good luck! my families big in skiing but they know nothing about freeskiing
 
my mom and dad both ski, theyre kind of gapers, but they occasionally get up to the hill and can keep up with me and my brothers when we take a family run or two. my mom and dad kinda get the freeski scene like tall tees and baggy pants and they both know who tom wallisch is and my mom sometimes tries to use "steezy" in sentences and its just embarrassing haha. only problem is they always show up to the contests i enter and they get as close as they can to the skiing and yell my name when im tryin tricks and stuff and half the time they are yelling for a different kid. not a big deal though theyre really supportive and got me into skiing when i was 3
 
yeah my dad is a great skier, i shredded backcountry and shit with him but the gangsta thing just confuses him
