Qualifying as good

[caro.dillon]

So i was thinking about it, and there is no way that any "good" girl skier could beat a "good" guys skier. So, how do you determine if a girl skier is good or not. like she has to have style, but at what trick point does a girl become good?

everything guys do

thats hard...you can tell when a girl skier is good when you watch them on the slopes. there are alot of good girls that dont throw tricks at the level of guys but they do have really good style. i guess you could say you are good for a girl if you can grind rails, spin past 5 but also have style

sarah burke spins sik nines and she throws bigger than so many guys u just need to learn a new trick everday im a guy and i do that i've seen girl boarders who are the same as guy boarders or much better

OK few things:

Its not about a certain trick point- Just cuz someone can HUCK a 7 doesnt make them "good." Its all about STYLE!!

AND I think there are a bunch of awesome girl skiers out there that totally compete w/ the boys- Look at Grete she kills it! Put her in a comp w/ guys at she can toatlly compete and kick most off there asses!

Your a girl- Stick up for your fellow girl skiers, dont say they can never be "as good as the boys". That what we need to stop. It should be "She is really sic" NOT: "She is really sic as for a GIRL"

hells ya

 

[caro.dillon]

yeah, but you can have style just doing a 1, or style just doing a 7, but not counting style, what tricks defines a girl as good?

 

[ineedarealname]

dont know toooo many girls doing stylie sevens... 7s alone for girls are good. cab 7 is so sick for a girl

 

[VTskier85]

there isnt a magic number

 

[sugarloaf]

the best skier is the one having the most fun!

 

[Dan-Man]

they should be sick

 

[Ktownchic]

well put tess!!!! way to rep. the girls.

 

[STAUSS]

you gotta make people say "great scott"

 

[caro.dillon]

thats good jack, real good

 

[Ice-Is-Scary]

You arn't good don't worry about it

 

[[~_~]]

a girl skier who is good gets advice from a dude on how to stick a 7, and ends up showing up the dude.

switch takeoffs

 

[lalalalaura]

Girls can be as good as the guys.

Look at Fabiola Da Silva, we just need to find skiing's Fabiola Da Silva. Give it time.

and don't worry about being "good" or not. As soon as you say you are "good", that means you won't be as stoked to get better. So don't think like that.

theres a girl I know who learned boxes 2nd try and learned switch ups like an hour later. Right now shes working on switch takeoffs.

at the aspen open meg olenick won with an ugly ass 9 and the second and 3rd place girls threw sick shit. i think a "good" girl skier compared to the others is one who is willing to try new shit and is jumping switch. example. kirsti nelson. so sick as zero spins
