There are a lot of threads about skiing needs more of this or that, or less of something. What do you think skiing needs? Everybody should be able to come up with one thing that would make the sport better.

My input: Everybody needs to learn to respect anybody who skis, myself included.
 
Binding that have brakes that will bend both ways so that your brakes dont break or bend.
 
creativity. Without creativity, we're going no where. Gotta be willing to take chances, look foolish, try things that seem stupid.
 
nobody worrying about sponsors.

and also skis that are stiff but still perform in the park.

Park/BC skis, basically. Which we don't have.
 
It needs to go back to old school.

Back when no one was out there to look cool, since u were the only one on the mountain with twin-tips as it was, and just to enjoy ourselves and f*** the people on the mountain that think different.

Am i right or am i right?
 
You're kidding right? Ill list some:

motherships

vicous

Msp

big trouble

and there are more...
 
Who the fuck wants a park ski thats 110mm? park skis at max should be 90, in my opinon. Thats why you purchase septerate skis for park and powder, its a great investment.

And since when has a soft ski been bad? Most park skis and powder skis(well some powder skis are soft) and thats how they should be.
 
not a park ski. a ski that skis the steeps and turns the BC into a park itself.

I personally prefer a powder ski to be stiffer than normal.

I don't really ski park. I just use cliffs, trees, and BC booters to do my tricks. So that's my dream ski.
 
Have you ever skied a softer pow ski? I ski pistols in the pow. They are a blast, and they perform great. I have never had a problem with tip dive, because the ski flexes and the tip floats. Also, a lot of sketchy stuff has to do with the skier, and although stuffer skis are better at taking crap at high speeds, I love straighting rough shit on my big soft pistols.

Personal preference i guess.
 
yeah I've skied them. Theyre OK.

I'd prefer for the average ski to be around 100 mm underfoot.

I just don't like the softness.
 
this site to close or die or whatever happens to websites, if i wasnt narcd up right now i wouldnt have an excuse to be on here
 
i agree with you man, this days everybody is worried about what the other is doing and hating just because the other one is better, let's all just have fun and try to remember why we started to ski
 
less douche bags? but.. on the other hand they do tend to make it interesting at times.. so i'm going to go with.. more hot guys.
 
today was my second day out after having surgery way back in december for a torn acl. i'm having so much fun just cruising around and making turns. it's like i'm discovering skiing all over again. i'm so pumped just to be back on snow.

getting injured this season has sucked so much but i have def gotten a few positive things out of it. my approach/perspective on skiing has changed for the better, so o well. live and learn and then get strong for next year
 
i hope you can get well soon and recover 100% from your injury... the same happened to me a few years ago i had an injury and i couldn't ski for a few weeks and when i skied again the doctor said to me not to ride very hard because it could be dangerous, and i saw ski in other persepctive as you say like the only thing i could throw was a 360 at most and i was really pumped to jump again and i heard some kids like saying look he can only do 360 and he doesn't throw big jumps and they didn't even know what happened to me, i mean just hating because thats their mentality
 
skiing needs... ROSSIGNAL to bring back the rooster logo on all their skis! That would be sweet and make for a happier ski world. That is what skiing needs.
