what is a park rat?
I see more and more slopestyle kids/jump jocks in the park all the time. they wear form fitting gear like racers, they act like racers, and they ride the park all day.
nothing worse than rolling up to the jump drop in on a saturday arvo to see 30 12 year olds with poc helmets and volkl walls. you know that each kid is going to have to signal is coach 4 or 5 times so the coach will have time to get his phone out to film the kid so that they can work out the technical kinks in their cork 7 mute.
kid 1: dropping next!
kid 2: dropping next after him!
kid 3: dropping next after the second guy!
kid 4: dropping next after those three guys!
no, you drop when there is a gap, fucko.

i used to race, every practice id leave and go to the park. my friends used to call me gay-cer and ask when i was going to quit. now i spend 90 percent of the time skiing park. no exp with school freestyle teams but never really got along with other racer dudes
I have skied park for years and this year I decided to join my schools ski team because some of my friends are on it. They told me that all we do is dick around so I was hyped. I fucking hate ski racing. Shits so dumb. I wouldnt say im terrible at it but i wouldnt say im really good at it. I respect racers who arent stuck up. Just because im racing on atomic punx with a sweatshirt on and not a tight suit doesnt mean I should be every racers bitch. Im sticking to park

The entire snowshoe mtn race team are little 10 year old pricks. One kid got his arm sliced open by a snowboard and I think everyone on the mountain kinda had a collective “thank god.”

As a former racer I must say ski racing, when examined from a neutral standpoint, is a stupid sport. Who in their right mind would want to wear spandex, go 50+ mph down a hill, spend countless hours in the freezing cold on the hill, and spend thousands upon thousands on new gear almost every few years?
That being said, it was fun.

Yeah at this point it doesnt make sense.
Best way to distinguish if it's a park rat is:
- wearing xl shit
- most likely have full tilts
-covering their entire face with balaclava and reflective goggles
- HAVE TWIN TIPS!!!! If they dont have twin tips, you know for sur ethey're not park rats
here's sum images for reference:

I thought they were interchangeable terms... They have about the same experience in park.

Been down this road in the opposite way haha. Raced my school’s ski team for 3 years and realized it’s a bunch of stuck up assholes in colorful leggings with skis that don’t reflect their ability level. I was out there in a sweatshirt too lol. Conditioning and training was fun as fuck though. Had to walk up the hill each run but that wasn’t too bad. Ran a ton of miles every day too. Switched to 90% park gradually since

Racer told me my revolts looked like rentals, as he's standing on a pair of Rossignol heros

Ive realized I dont hate racing so much as I hate comp skiing. Its too much pressure for me to judge the success of my whole ski day on 2 or 3 runs. It was a realization i made at the top of a race course standing in a gs suit but slopestyle comps have the same feel to me. just not my thing.
