Why are there no female pro urban skiers?

Did you not read my original response? What is your definition of a respectable response?I said I would love to, but I can't even hit urbanon in a park let alone on an urban setup. I'm saying that I can't because I'm not good enough to. Jesus.

And you think that I haven't been trying I spent 40 days skiing last year, in OHIO. That is like everyday they are possibly open, and I did progress a lot throughout the year, but could never get urbanon which is kind of essential for hitting a handrail.

So don't tell me I'm not trying and that I'm unmotivated. Fuck you.

 
the first time we hit an urban handrail it was barely even a down rail, and we built a lip so big we could hit it square on. It took about 20 min to build. And you said you live in columbus, in a city that big i know you can find an easy urban feature.

Maybe instead of saying how much you cant to, find a situation that takes advantage of what you can do. A wall ride, some type of drop, a small gap. I don't really care that you can't urban on, its not easy. What bothers me is that you say you want to yet still find reasons why you shouldn't be able to. Try thinking the other way around. What can you do in the park, and how can you translate that to an urban setting? If you can ski park at all, there is some element of urban skiing you can also do.

That was unnecessary. Someone asked a question, I responded with what i ASSUMED could be a reason. I never said I thought that way. We weren't talking about snowboarders, the original question was about girls in skiing.
 
yeah actually i really should have thought through that response. I really shouldn't take my frustrations out in such an asshole-ish way, and calling you a cunt was more than just rude.

I still stand by my argument, but just being a douche probably isn't going to solve anything.
 
I had a dream last night. I was skiing urban rails and doing 4s and 6s out. I lost my boots at somepoint. Then it was prom and I was at prom in ski boots and everyone thought I was weird. I was also "old" so that made me weird too.... but then I skied more and it was happy.

On a totally different note. back when I was in highschool (this was 13 - 10 years ago) I was really into snowboarding. I lived in Minnesota. I recall progressing more on stupid shit jumps we built on 20 foot hills and small rails more than I ever did at Buck Hill. I actually find a hand rail in a park less intimidating than one on the mountain. Probably because it's a pretty private venue, I don't feel like I need to get it on the first go. I imagine it's similar to a backyard setup.

That being said. I've never hit anything "urban" on skis. I have hit a box or two in friends yards or the preseason parks in the middle of nowhere forests, but those don't count.

So if someone wants to take me to do some urban, I'll totally come wearing a shit ton of pads under baggy cloths and hurl my body at pretty much whatever you tell me to. No one has invited me to do this though, so whatever.

Moral of the story: If you know a chick that skis... just start inviting her. Might take a few times before she is down to hit it even once, but show us the way! At a minimum you can have someone to hold a camera for an extra angle.
 
Yeah well the whole point of this thread was to ask why professional girls who are definitely good enough to at least start progressing female urban don't. Of course there are girls who are not good enough for urban, or who don't want to do urban, just like there are guys who can't/don't want to.Also there are way more guy skiers than girl skiers so just the shear numbers could possibly be the only reason we have not seen it.
 
Jesus christ man it sounds like you are a courtroom attorney trying to find excuses as to why somebody committed murder. every single fucking comment of yours. lay the fuck off. None of these girls have said that they aren't motivated themselves, they have only tried to come up with insight and then said that they are interested in trying urban if the opportunity arrises. you act like they are making excuses as to why they are out there becoming pros, because really if YOU can do it, then why can't they. WHY THE FUCK ARENT YOU A FUCKING PRO YET THEN IF ITS THAT EASY YOU LAZY FUCK. Get the fuck out there and put in some work. Lets see some edits man. Become the pro that you can be! Shit, never mind you suck balls like you said.
 
The money and the fame thing pisses me off. I've hit urban many a time and I'm sure as hell not doing it for any money or fame....... I think you agree with me, so I'm not calling you out, but it's attitudes like this that skiing doesn't need, especially women's skiing if they want to progress at all
 
it's really not that high risk if you stay within your limits. it seems like the reason you don't want to hit urban is cause you assume you're going to get hurt. if you do anything with an attitude like that you won't succeed.
 
never did i ever say they need to try to be skiing at a pro level. All i really want is for more girls to get into urban at any level. But since you called me out i guess i have to become a pro now.
 
Not true, I threw an ice cream cone with vanilla cream in it at this homeless bitch once and she did not enjoy it.

Strange considering it not only contradicts what you said but also the urban myth that everyone loves ice cream.
