How long does it take to get good?

How long did you ski for before you really felt you had become a good freeskier. How long did it take you to learn how to do stuff? It's my first year freeskiing and i don't really know how good i should be, but im wondering how long it took other people to learn to 3 and do rails and whatever.

Turpin was pro within a year of starting skiing I believe.
I've been skiing my whole life and I'm not pro.
All depends on the person.

at the end of my first year of freeskiing(i was only like 11) i could do pencilled 3s and 1's...but every year you come back with waay more confidence in ur self and u just start trying stuff and get better..so i dunno, im in my 2.5 year of freeskiing(im only 14) but this is what i can do.....1,3,5,7(all with saftey), death on 9, sw/ 1, sw/3, sw/5(all with saftey), cork 5, death on cork 9, almost cork 7, regular on sw/ out of box, sw/ out on dfd box, flat and up rails and thats it....now we dont have much of a park so pretty much everything is on natrual shit, hope that helped you out

I still feel like I suck because I get to watch all these ski movies and see the stuff that goes down.
But its not depressing, its actually encouraging to know there's still so much room for progression.

It all depends on where you ski, how much you ski, and how devoted you are.

If you're not a pussy and you have a nice park to ski in you can progress very quickly.
