But would those people actually help skiing reach its potential?
In skiing athleticism isnt as important as creativity and style

I mean being an nfl linebacker may not be the best body type for skiing, it has been said that soccer players are more resilient to the type of knee injuries that it seems skiers are prone to such as acl and meniscus tears because of the way passing strengthens the knees in a way that skiing on its own does not. There does seem to be an ideal body type for freeskiing and that seems to focus on agility. The bright side of it not being so mainstream is that we get to be so close to the biggest pros. Look at skateboarding, the best of the best have private parks and can’t shred a public park with the homies without getting swarmed. Want to ski with olympic/X games medalists? Great, head over to PC or Mamm and say what’s up. Don’t worry about it all too much and have fun!

I heard it from my coach and my dad told me his physical therapist said that. The way it was explained to me is that when passing, you use muscles in your inner thigh. Also acl rears are typically caused by landing backseat while spinning and trying to stay standing so my method is to not try to always save it cause it’s not worth it.

Sounds like you're looking for validation from the public that you're cool. I ski cause I love skiing, fuck however it's seen, more mountain for me

has nothing to do with athleticism, it has to do with pure numbers. Anybody in america or the world can find a round ball and start kicking it, throwing it or catching it. Thus soccer being the worlds most popular sport. Kids in the inner city have hoops at every park and only need one ball for 10 dudes to play. By pure connection the most popular sports are going to be the sports that people connect with. Skiing will never have the draw that your ball and stick will have. That cool by me. Every 4 years the skiers get to show off then fade back into obscurity. Unless your banging Tiger Woods.

Id love to see OP crash on a dub cork 1440 on a 100ft step down and tell me these guys arent in shape.
Walk up a jump for an entire day to session it and tell me park riders arent in shape.
Follow the top athletes in the world for a week and tell me they arent athletic.
Ask most good riders about others sports they practice and answers will be all over the map. Some riders on NS are amazing football players too.

Dude you are a fucking tool for editing the quote. You left out a critical part of my argument. Let me quote it out for you:
"Id love to see OP crash on a dub cork 1440 on a 100ft step down and tell me these guys arent in shape. "
The point was park riders are so in shape, they can slam on the landing and get up to try again. If a normal person takes those hits without physical training; they will be in the emergency every time. Its the same as freeride mtb...Crankworks comes to mind. I would never be able to walk away from those crashes.
