Ok so im looking at this dryslope stuff in england and scotland and im thinking...do these kids even get to ski real snow or what? do they spend their whole lives skiing on plastic mats? its like fake skiing. i duno its just a weird concept to me. like trying to wakeboard behind a truck on the road or something. its not real..

yeah a lot of them move to the states or to another country to ski real shit druing the winter. but most probably just get to ski the dryslope shit. it looks like it would hurt pretty bad

Now the problem with our world, the lack of respect.
For our earth, for our children, for the future we neglect, for the words, for the values, for the god we select.
Millions die everyday withough a cause to effect.

they look painful, i bet it would cost less to go to ski camp than to set one of those things up any ways




So long fried rice, hello fried chicken!

The US rep is out of WI.

I thought they were going to open one outside of Denver called "Artic Summer"

Supposedly there is a two inch padded mat underneath, but the stuff doesn't allow you to carve.
