hey guys i was wondering about you guy's imput on this... i mean i love to ski and i ski at a shithole hill that you can only do park on, but they do have some race stuff. so i was thinking of joining my highschool race team (i used to race when i was younger) it would mean that i would get to be on snow 5 days a week with just racing, and then an additional day or 2 maybe to be doing park. however, i might not be able to get to my hill for those 2 days, meaning that i will probably not get as much park in, which i enjoy alot more. also we get to travel to some of the bigger hills that i cant get to otherwise (marquette for example) but i wouldnt be able to ski around there probably. so whats your imput? is it worth joining or not?

its only worth joining if you have a cool coach who doesnt give a shit and will let you just ski and hit the park. thats what i did last year

Where did you get your clothes, the toilet store?

yea i had the same problem, i would just alternate between the park and the course so it just looked like you were practicing...but when your racing on twins the coach will most likely challenge your dedication sooner or later

Any skiing is better than no skiing, also racing will make you a better skier, so you don't look like a wanker skiing jump to jump or if you ever get out west.

racing on twintips isnt fun, at least on 4 year old 1260s with dull edges it isnt. My coach didnt like the fact i used twintips but what can you do? I only did it for a year. It was pretty fun.
