Replying to Dont judge a book by its cover.
so we were chillin at breck on a warm spring day, just eaten lunch at the top of the park and this kid comes up to me. he must have been like 13 and he was totally gapered out. huge ass helmet, tight pants, goggle gap, rental skis, the whole nine yards. he looked extremely nerdy and his belly was hanging out of his shirt a little bit. anyways he comes up to me and asks me in a thick british accent wether or not i hit the jumps in the park. and i just looked at him and laughed and said no way they are way to scary. so this kid looks at me for awhile, sniffs his nose, and asks " are u being sarcastic" i laughed again and i said yeah, and i told him the trick was not to turn at all. he thanks me and taps his poles and drops in. i looked at my friends and they were all laughing waiting to see this kid eat shit.
he comes in to the first jump squirley and out of control. here it comes i thought, kids done for. he lifts off the jump and shakes in the air like a retard in water but lands the 50 footer. then he comes up to the second jump and agian i thought he was done. he clears the 65 footer. we all thought he crashed but then we see him coming up to the 80 footer, same thing, goes huge, shakes and bakes, but clears it.
ill never forget that shit, some fat kid from england who could barely ski cleared three pro sized jumps. i have seen so many gapers come to breck and fall short. they break bones, tear acls, and sometimes die. even good skiers come up short. two of my friends have blown acls to prove it.
but not this fat kid. he proved me wrong, and now every time i hear my friends being pussies i tell them the story.
