pepole always ask me if i'am exited about the 2010 olympics and such, but there shoked to here i couldint care less actully i couldint care less about most aspects of skiing, and this confuses most pepole that dont ski cause when they look into skiing they look at the olympics and racing but this only represents 1% of a huge number of pepole that ski and when they looks at snowboarding the look at shaw white doing 1080's in the pipe. and this bothers me cause you see i am not a racer, i ski for the plesure of it not to shave 1/1000 of a second of my time but to have a good time, and to do the odd 1080 in the pipe but the averge publics view is that if i do 1080s in the pipe i am a snowboarder but im not so as a skier i must be a racer. but like i said i dont care about racing in fact the only racers i know are the hermanotor and bode miller. hte reason i know of the hermonatro is because of that nickname, and the reason i know of bode is because he partys and drinks and skis with a hangover, and this for some reason bothers the media, remeber the crazy caunuks (probably not but you have probably heard of them) the hard drinking hard partying hard skiing force on the world skiing circute that won every race and made skiing cool again. so i say go for it bode try and make racing cool again. but the only "skiers" whatching you is the gaper who hasent skied in 10 years and can still say twister spread and apres ski without laughing.
 
i personally started out a racer. but seriously thats kind of a narrow minded opinion if you only know two racers and you say its not real skiing. skiing is watever you want it to be which is why i love the sport. ski and let ski is what i always say...
 
it is real skiing it just only represents 1% of skiers so i think its un fair to all of us when pepole look at racing and thinks it's what every one skis
 
you're on a forum with 100,000 members

it is very likely that none of them think skiing is just racing

so who is this 'everyone' you speak of?
 
the second you let the 'general unskiing public' affect you is the second you lose at skiing in general

amirite?

and i watch the olympics for the ski racing, that shit takes talent
 
i started as a racer then just started thinking how dumb it was i mean come on every body is doing the same damn thing and it a comes down to how many mistakes you do and they are so lil or you didnt have the right wax...what ev i just got over it now i just have a good time and do what i do.
