no to the switch racing but yeah go race the racers on their courses and bet money you could beat em switch and show them the future of skiing.

did you know that Bode rides the park when hes sick of racing? he says it improves his all around skiing.

switch DOWNHILL. Imagine going switch at 80 mph flying off knuckles and #### on a pair of 215cms and a zuit suit. DAMN. Downhillracing going fowards scares the #### outta me.

I've gotten kicked off of two different mountains for hitting racecourses switch... the most recent time a patroller was trying to catch me to tell me to stop... he caught me, in the lift line and while panting for breath he told me that I would have to leave the hill... I think he was just bent because he couldnt catch me even on his 191 xscreams... what a pussy, that made my season

Why would the coach get pissed at you? Mine was all chill with it because he just wants us to have fun with it. He didn't even mind when I tried a 360 a few gates before the finish.
