I just read this and had to post it. The letter and response went as follows:
Title: You should make a mag
You must get alot of people asking you to do articles on stuff, so if you don't do this it'll be fine.
What there should be is an article on freeskiing. In gace, it should be a very very long article about what makes freeskiing freeskiing. Talk about events, people, tricks, skis, companies, moments movies and anything you can think of that has progressed the sport in some way and given it a more reputable name. Of course, its just an idea.

Freeskiers response:
Eric, that's a great idea. You know, instead of an article, even a very very long one-about freeskiing, maybe we'll just start a magazine about freeskiing. Everything in this magazine can be about freeskiing. We can cover the gear, the pros, the parks and the tricks. We'll have really cool photos, too. And guess what? A great name for the magazine could be freeskier! Yeah, that would be cool.
I don't know about you guys, but that made me laugh my ass off.
They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When your high, you can do everything you can normaly, just as well. You just realize its not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.-Bill Hicks
