Kids putting me down about skiing ability

Play it off like your a cool dude while also making him out to be a dick. Next time he does that in front of your friends or whatever, say something. Be like yeah man, I guess I just don't take this as seriously as you... I'm just out here trying to have fun with the homies... don't get why you gotta always kill the vibe. Everyone else will be like yeah man, bish don't kill my vibe
 
sarcasm man

just say thanks man!

no need to sink to his level!

kids that just call everything gay are the real fruits

 
who gets more bitches? if its him your outta luck, if its you chirp the shit outta him about not being able to get the p00ntang on the daily
 
you will always have that, even twall has people saying he blows every once an a while. People gonna hate man. ski for yourself not them. ski because u enjoy it, no matter how good you are.
 
Get off to that Big Head Bully! Don't mind him.. I know for sure that he's just freaking scared that you might bit him! He's such a loser! thumbs down! : ( Tell him to get a life!
 
Skiing is about having fun, you will progress at your own rate, and people should respect that. This kid is obviously a dick to you about it so he has problems of his own. Just try to ignore him.
 
Let it motivate you to get better, even though it seems like you never will be better then this guy, like any sport the person who works harder will be better if this guy just goes and takes it easy every time and you go and push it every time you will be better eventually.
 
I went through the same thing when I started skiing many many moons ago. Just keep going man, you are going to progress so much if you just keep skiing and learning. at one point you are going to be so much better then him, and be able to shove it in his fucking face. And if you are being picked on by this kid, chances are you are not the only one. Probably other kids are too. so if you just stick with the friends of yours and people who don't like this kid, and you should be fine. Also remember to keep your head up and keep skiing cause you love it. Also as you keep skiing every year you will make more and more friends and you will kind of learn off each other too.
 
thats a lesson your gonna learn in life, just have a "fuck off" chambered and ready to go, because there will always be some asshole in your life, and the best way to shake it off is to say fuck off and carry on with your day
 
Just don't compare yourself when you ski. While throwing sick tricks for chicks just for kicks is tight, it should all be exactly just for kicks. I'd rather see, be, and know someone who is happy about doing a straight air with the lightest, sketchiest excuse for a mute grab than some kid bitching about the gapers in the park all day just because they can throw a double and get 20% off goggles. Its about being happy my friend, just do your thing. In the end he's the one that's losing through comparisons and zealotry, if you've got a smile on your face.
 
If you ski like most people on NS ski, where the fuck is the competition. I have never skied to prove something nor will I ever ski to prove something because when I ski I have freedom. I am not trying to prove something to anyone but myself. Sure I may be not be as good as professionals but who the fuck said I have to be. I ski because I love it and it is as simple as that. If you ever have to prove something like that to somebody you are doing it for the wrong reason.

Live your live the way you want to and let people judge you because while they waste their life caring about that, you are living yours!

Ski because YOU love it!
 
Thanks for the advice, but it's just harder to enjoywhen you know hes on your back criticizing everything you do
 
no, I tried to explain the idea of newschoolers to him and he just thought it was a fuckin joke because he thought skiing forums were gay.
 
My advice would be not to claim in the first place... Regardless of how good you are or what tricks you can do. Just ski for fun!
 
And he just talks shit on your skiing for no reason? Sounds like a real asshole. Ignore him and keep having fun on your skis!
 
A piece of advice I'll always remember is that people are usually too busy worrying about how other people are going to judge them to really be judging you. Odds are he's some kind of attention whore who is super insecure. Think about who's at the top of our sport right now-Tanner, Henrik, Ahmet, Hornbeck, Wallnutz, and you know they don't spend time worrying about what others think of them or how approved their tricks will be by the people watching them.

There will always be critics in life. Just let their criticism be a positive experience for you. I got a lot of shit during soccer, but once you stop caring, the sport becomes way more fun than when you worry what kids say. Turn off negativity, and use any criticism you get solely for growth.

If you can't do this, just try buddy. This is honestly the biggest part of growing up and something that I really wish I'd known how to do earlier. It took me from an insecure freshman to where I am today. Once you start not caring, skiing will become a different sport for you, plus you'll find a lot more joy in everything else: other sports, music, clubs, social life.

I'd also recommend taking some time off from ns. The community can be hypercompetitive, and it's hard to feel very good about your skiing when the best in the world are putting out banger edits at a fiery rate, and when some mean person with a keyboard gets the screen shield and a downvote arrow. There's no way I'll ever be able to match a lot of the talent on here, just accept it, and enjoy what you do. Instead of worrying about how much smaller your jump is than that one at windells, just try to be inspired by those guys. Odds are you're better than a solid 90% of skiers alive. Odds are you're getting solid air for any sport-mtb, skating, wakeboarding, and skiing.

^that should help ease your mind from the competitive side. I've found big mountain skiing to be more fun/challenging/relaxed/enjoyable than park skiing as of late, if you've considered it!
 
do something he thinks you wont do……

Hoy crap, so helpful thanks a heap and I actually find NS a way to get way more motivated to ski watching poeple way better than me but who aren't dicks. NS is actually are really inspiring place.
 
Punch him in the ass real hard during the middle of school and he'll shit his pants. People don't forget shit like that.
