I raced with ski culb vail for 4 years and Im a really good all around skier. I absolutely hate it when kids say "I HATE RACERS". when people say that they are basically saying "im a park rat who cant ski for shit"!!!!. Im appreciate people who do moguls though cuz moguls are sweet and they make you good, but lets hear some comments.

I race and have met racers that are total idiots. I think racing helps you all around though when it comes to skiing.

most park tricks is all guts anyway, it has nothing to do with racing. my friend who races is slowly getting in to freestyling and he does nothing but straight airs.

im not saying that happens for evryone, just certain people. And the part about the balls, they are probably more comfortable on their skis and know like how fast to go and shit.

your a fucking retard... first of all a noob??? how is a racer a noob if he can ski better than you, which you admited. second i know plenty of racers that can hit up the park just as well as a lot of people.. you bitching about them is the same thing as them being an ass to you, so your on the same level as them. so dont bitch about them being assholes either

i'm a racer and i like it even tough i can't go in the park often...but i'm sure i ski way better then all these park rangers! and by the way,people who quit race to do freestyle improve much faster then the ones who just "know" how to ski...still i think that a skier have to respect skiers...even tough he's a racer!

All the kids I rip big mountain lines with grew up racing gs, superg and downhill. It just gives you confidence with loading, positions and edging. I'm the only one in my crew that didn't grow up racing (since I started skiing late) If I could go back in time I would have raced untill I was 18 then started freeskiing.

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but high school racing does not count as racing.

yeah because your an ignorant asshole who cant stand diversity in a sport. skiing would suck if it was all freestyle man, it would be a little worse than snowboarding.

i gues body miller daron ralves and ted ligety aren't bad in skiing park or freeriding.ted ligety was discovered 5 years ago while he was powder skiing. the coaches asked him to join the team and he answered that he want to try tomorrow because the powder was so good that day!

yeah like when i was watching next snow search and stuff the people doing the big mountain races aren't that good, but they're really confortable in the air. Why don't they do skydiving?
Being comfy in the air is what makes a good park skier. You dont have to be good at anything else.
I'm sure a lot of freestyle skiers are racers.
