I used to race but never really liked it. Yhea when I went to the park I had shit too even if I was not bad at all...

But now I've stopped racing and it is one of the best decisions of my life...(Well, I more of convinced my parents to stop racing because I would have stopped ages ago...) Some parts of racing still miss me tho...

I find it o.k., being a racer myself...

But believe me, freeskiing is sooo better for you, and that's why I'm quitting

racing sucks. most people that i know that race dont like it. the people that do it are not really into they just do it cuz they are good at it. and lot of them are full of themselves as well.(but sometimes ther are nice people that do race but not as many)

I raced and it was good for about 1min 30 seconds if it was a good course but all the other stuff, like training, sucked.

I think racing is fun, just beacse going really fast and carving is fun. But i really hate it as a sort compared to freeskiing. Freeskiing is all about having your own style, being really creative and always doing something new. In racing all ur doing is going down the same track the last person just did, but trying to go a little faster. Ski racing hasnt really changed in a long time. And i hate watching it cuz it looks the same every time the skiier goes down. And the suits suck.

in all seriousness.. how can you go that high on a tree without pooping

Racing isnt the best but its good to do so you have good skiing fundamentals and dont suck at skiing like park rats skidding their tails.

I think most racers who hate racing feel the way they do because of the time commitment and the restrictive nature of organized athletics.

I'm fine with anyone who races as long as they stay out of the park. It is about respect, I don't go onto their race tracks and they should not come into the park. When they come in to the park and start skiing around cutting people off and dodging the jumps then the respect is broken and they deserve to get shit, just as if I were to go onto their race course I would get shit as well.


and more, much more than this, I did it my way

i'm not a big fan of racers even though i race for my high school. i do it cause i get to ski during the week. i'm a fast skier already so i do well at racing and i do try to do better but i'm no hardcore racer who does this every weekend of their life. it's just a different aspect of skiing just like park riding. they're both fun in their own ways.

The racers at my hill think they're the shit. They go in the park and all they can do are ugly ass 360s and usually fall. That's not the case all the time though

all your little heros where ex-racers

unless your a 13 yr old sean petit type pro---you raced as a kid...there was no such thing as freeskiing teams....

Try to name one pro over 24 who did not race at some point in their career...most pros who were into skiing young, attribute their balance and agression to racing

if you can recover at 100kph after a backseat landing on an iced down SG run in europe...you can do allright with some easy skiing twintips ans some fat greasy rails

You guys say that "all racers think they are the shit"...look at all the fucking park rats that think they own the park and they are the shit. There are shitty people on both sides....everyone needs to get over themselves and try not to stereotype an entire group.
