honestly, this black guy i always see at my mountain, he isnt that good, can barely 270 on to boxes, but he has the most fun out of anybody ive ever met, like he is insanely impossibly happy, all the time. he is like 35-40 years old, ive talked to him a couple times and we have skiied together sometimes, and it gives me so much more faith in skiing, he doesnt dress cool, isnt super good or anything, and he just doesnt give a fuck. he will get super psyched over anything and give everybody huge props for even the easiest stuff. there is absolutely no negativity in him at all, just 100% pure happiness and fun, he is my hero. i hope i can be like him.but yeah really, fuck skill, the more fun you are having the better you are imo. im done trying to be super good and out-do everyone. im doing exactly what i want when i want, fuck getting good and winning comps, spending shit loads of money on ski clothes every year to look cool. and its all cause of this one guy who showed me exactly what skiing is all about.
