I'm 23 and I've been doing freestyle for only a few years but it seems like *every* pro is my age or younger! Apart from the McConkey/Douglas/Morisson generation of course.

Of the big names at the moment, how old are they?

way to keep on with the movement, I'm 23 too. A few skiiers that I can think of that are within a year of us give or take are boyd, pollard, jon, mercon is a few years older, candide, c.r., pep, collins brothers, kristi, sarah, peter, ...those are a few I think tanner is 21 or 22. Oh yea evan raps and philu are older too.

Its because they all took the "pro skier" steriod at age 9, tanner and pep being the first users, and it take from 6-10 years to engage on your skiing, and you instantly become pro. but the older you get the longer it takes. Say you take it at 13, it takes 10-13 years for it to work. So seeing now at 23, if you take it right now, it will take 30-45 years to engage. But, one loop hole(this has never been done but it can be) take it analy and then poop it out of your mouth(south park) the imidatly take it to the top of mount everest, and you will be pro in 1-31 years.

whoah I didn't realize there were even 161 year old skiers
jk
but I think it's getting younger and younger.
I saw a skit on comedy central about these basketball scouts looking for babies with good feet and legs for b-ball. Funny shit.
But in any case I think that 11-15 will become the time to go pro soon or else you won't make it.
