Try living in Michigan and explaining to someone that u ski. Nobody even gets it. Everyone that even does any winter sports here snowboards and there is no such thing as freeskiing according to anyone at my school. I have to explain it so slowly and stupidly, like "I hit jumps and spin in the air, and sometimes i grind rails too. Thats when u jump onto a (ususally) metal rail and turn sideways and try your hardest to slide all the way to the end." And then they just go, "so thats like snowboarding, but on skis right?" "yeah"
