What's Harder

FREESKIING fo sho, the only thing hard about racing is going down tha right track. jk but in FS its alot harder to make it into the industry.
 
^or go backwards at 53 miles an hour into a 120 foot gap only to throw their body 2.5 times around OFF AXIS like wow
 
What the hell man, no sport is intristically harder than another. It depends on how hard you push yourself. Freeskiers could jump 300 ft. gaps in the future, and racers could near terminal velocity down cources at some point. So until the conceivible limit of such a sport exists, dont try and judge it.
 
i wouldnt say that all people on here are good skiers. i see quite a few poeple at my mtn that go to the park and have problems with icy or bumpy slopes.

if i ever reach a good national or a decent international level at a part of skiing, it will be at freeriding/big mountain. so its the easiest in my opinion. the next thing is the whole freestyle stuff, i dont think that i will ever reach a high niveau but its in my opinion easier to get at the xgames (slopestlye or pipe) than to get at the olympics in racing.
 
depends, if ure a siisssy in the prk then racing might be harder, but if race and u pizza plow the whole way then freeskiing might be harder
 
I just think freeskiing is more of a challenge...there is more of a motive to impress, with freeskiing beggining not to long, and now that it is growing its more challenging to impress...where as racing you go trough gates...woop de do
 
freestyle is more difficult. (coming off 5 years of racing) but racing you definatly need to be in better shape
 
id shoot myself if i ever raced

but that doesnt count when i raced in the ski fast loose pass section,,,,i call it freestyle racing
 
racing isnt progressing much, keep that in mind, theres only so fast some1 can go and right now is pretty close to the limit, freestyle is progressing sooo much, at the candide invi they were doing switch rodeo 630 true tail on's, thats nuts, not too many people can do that, freestyle is sooo much harder and is harder to reach the professional level because that level is getting higher every comp
 
freeskiing, but if you go on a racing site if there is a racing site, the racers that never tried freeskiing will say racing
 
you can noticeably progress in freeskiing and in racing its by like a fourth a second so personally i would say freeskiing....and i raced for 3 years
 
At the top end, I've gotta say racing, cause I honestly, you are trying to buy hundreths of seconds. A slightly sketch landing is hideable, a sketch in racing and your done.
 
I'd say racing is because freestyle can be learned easier by rich kids who can use foam pits, water ramps and go to summer camps. While racing on the other hand takes more of wicked hard work, exercising and experience to be the best at. This could go both ways really, so why don't we drop it and say both need a lot of work to be good at?
 
once you can skirace then freestyle comes pretty easy, (5 years racing), but just getting into it I dont know because a lot of my friends who started just skiing freestyle dont know a lot about how to ski a ski and it effects them, racing just teaches essential fundamentals.
