hej
just wanted to ask how you see the whole subject now that daron rhalves is showing up on hit list i just think the fight between tanner and bode/daron is so unnecessary i'm a racer but i love to powder and going to the parks in my free time me and my friend decided to do kind of a freeski/racing movie about the next season i think those two things could be very cool put together the racers couls be a bit easier going (i have a lot of fights with my coaches about my clothing my pipe sessions after training on the glaciers etc) and the freeskiers couls also learn lot of things about skiing and speed in the end everybody is just trying to have fun outthere in the snow are there any other racers hope you're not going to verbally kill me for this post and sorry for my english

reabow - I like where your coming from but I think you might be wasting your time with it on NS as there seems to be way too many close minded tossers. Racing is like park, or any other sport in that it is an awesome feeling if you are good at it. Most of the skiiers who bitch about racing prob aint that shit hot at racing so dont see the fun. Good luck dude

i like watching downhill racing where they basically just bomb it down a hill at 120 km. that stuff is intense.

yeah i raced up to last year and it is a lot of fun at times. anyone that knows anything about skiing realizes the talent involved at higher levels.

well that is the point "park rats" have their own style which makes them really unique, pf no one wants to be a dron and all ski the same way, look at cadide that guy poll plants off like every jump but he is freaking sick, and tanner has got a wicked wide stance, no one wants to be the same as the next person, that is why park skiing is at it'a all time high, because we aren't like every other racer.

and the raceing movie idea... i think i would get bored with it the first minute it sadley enough...

^^^ i agree if thats what you like to do thats great. but freeskiing and racing is like water and oil they just don't mix. most freeskiers enjoy skiing for the "free"dom it gives them to do what they want. unlike the intensely regimented training of a racer. yes racers can go fast around gates but any freeskier can go fast as well they just prefer to do it off of jumps and down difficult lines and not around gates on groomer. sorry but i think that idea is officially squashed. not to mention watching viedos of someone doing a course .00342 seconds faster than another person isn't really that fun to watch. in fact it kind of reminds me of uncle rico's video from napoleon dynamite.

Lots of top freeskiiers are ex-racers, Jeremy Nobis (probably the fastest free skiier you will see ripping AK lines) competed on the US national team at the 1994 olympics etc. I think Hugo, Seth and McConkey had race experience? As long as you are having fun skiing that is what count, but it is just ignorant and stupid to talk smack about racing like Hall did this season, yes he is better at doing tricks than Rahlves/Bode, but no he is not a better skier, not even close overall, in fact from his segment in Yearbook he sucks at freeskiing.
