What made you guys... so interested in freestyle skiing???

Anythign that keeps on pushing you to go farther in the sport???

 
To be honest, I push myself, but I don't give a shit if I'm not as good as other people on the hill. I just love nothing more than being on a pair of skis, sliding down the mountain. Makes me forget everything else.
 
there is no one thing that can attract you to skiing or freestyle skiing. everything about the sport is appealing. from running out into the winter cold when everyone is running in, to personal fear being the only limiting factor on speed. skiing is a lifestyle, far more then a sport.
 
Completly agree with you..... The best feeling is just to put on a nice pair of twins.... and shred the mountain....

Do you guys every ride alone.....??
 
Like most things the accomplishments that come with skiing like new tricks to first black diamond make yourself rele proud and happy and its a lot of fun
 
the last sentence so tru.all i do i think about skiing you know when i do roller or moutain bike its a trainning for sking freeskiing nothing like that
 
I purley to it because its fun. to be honest im not that good of a park skier. I dont really care that much if im not as good as every one else but i just do it because i really enjoy it,
 
because normal non-twintip and non park skiing is so boring, unless you pro race or something, I like park skiing because there is always so much room for you to get better, and I like showing improvement, I never try to one up anybody, and I dont really care what other people think of me.
 
because its the most fun thing to do. the feeling you get from stomping that perfect line or landing that trick youve been dreaming about in class all week is just inexplainable. When im skiing nothing matters to me except having fun in the mountains, the whole world could be about to explode and if I were skiing id be happy.
 
skiing... well i keep skiing cause i addicted to it. nothing better then heading up to the hill on an early morning and hike the hills alone and just have the whole place to your self. i love riding alone. i dont really care if im not throwing down as long as im having fun. thats all that matters to me.
 
yeah, people don't understand why i ski so much, and i just tell them to try it and they will know

skiing is my escape from life really, nothing is better then just hanging back and riding, and the feeling you get when you land that new trick, or charge that line is amazing
 
+k, that's exactly what I would have said. I promise you I'm nothing great at skiing, but I know I have room to improve and I keep getting better.
 
cause its so fun. the feeling you get when you stomp the shit outa a new trick. its such an acomplishment when you actually learn something new. or when you just out havin fun with freinds.. god this thread makes me relize why i love skiing.
 
i started just renting riding around on groomers. i grew into the sport got my own stuff and starting going all the time. Saw what all the kids were doing and hopped on theband wagon
 
Because there is nothing else like it.

I wrote this for am essay for a class:

"It is an escape, a way to clean your soul with every breath you take in of that clean mountain air. It is not just a hobby but a lifestyle and you can't really understand it unless you are in it. Until you have that run where everything clicks in place and your every move is effortless that is when it overwhelms you. That is when you are a skier."

 
i like doing chairlift raps the best. or if you go up with a gaper its fun to lie about yourself to them.
 
I could never sit still, i was always active but i am never content, if I'm somewhere i want to be somewhere else, if its winter i want it to be summer ( sometimes) if it summer i want it to be winter, if i have a sick bike i need an even sicker bike. In life even to this day I'm never happy with just day to day things, i feel guilty for damn near everything i do even if its going fishing for the day (even weekends) because i feel like i need to be working or something , honestly i don't know what i should be doing or why i feel so guilty. But skiing, damn. I'm grounded, im happy living my life in the moment, i dont feel guilty, i dont feel im missing anything or i should be anywhere else in the world. I am at home, at piece and im the closest to god i think i can possibly get. I have been writing allot to deal with my own issues, i think my first paragraph in my auto B says allot.

Skiing

is not a sport, it is a lifestyle. I have spent many long summer nights lying

awake in my bed staring at my skis on the wall. Counting down to mid November when

Tahoe starts to get snow. I watch the weather channel every morning and I have

slowly begun to bore my friends with talk of high pressure holding off pacific

storms. My family doesn’t understand me; my friends think I’m obsessed. I am

going crazy. I live for the snow, It is my priority, I don’t go to church and

I’m not a religious man but when I’m alone high above the world on an snow

covered peak I am standing right next to God"

Wow , deep info for the noob. good question.

 
i do it because its fun. that also goes for pushing myself. its fun, its fun to progress. i think thats about it,
 
my friend got me into it, i saw him going switch and so i tried it but i fell cause i didnt have the right skis so i got some and ive been doing it since
 
It is so fucking FUN and is the biggest adrenaline rush ever when landing that 360, 540, 720 or rails
 
well quite honestly...i used to snowboard, but before that i had skied since i was like 3...

but 2 seasons ago, i was surfing the web, and i saw a company called ninthward... (sorry mods!)

I watched one of their edits... the one with Shiest.D. and it was them in New Zealand, and it absolutely blew my mind...there was so much style, and it was so bad ass...i spent the next 3 hours lookin at ski stuff, and watched tat edit like 40 times... just studying it all

When i feel as if i want to stop skiing...i go back and watch that edit...
