I have been thinking alot about the sport of "freeskiing" when i tell the kids from school that im a freeskiier, or a freerider they think im just an all around racer, rails, jumps, and big mountian skiier.  Then if i say im a Freestyle skiier they think im in the moguls.  I was thinking about it and i came up with the Urban Skiing Culture.  I mean urban may mean the streets and shit but thats a big part of out culture... is it not? what do you think?

If "Freestyle Skiing" doesn't do it for them just call it "Newschool Skiing".

if it bothers you, just politely correct them. the meaning of the word freeskiing will spread soon enough.

I call it freestyle trickery on planks. jk I usually call it this " well I do this type of skiing in the pipe and rails and jumps and shit we do everything you probably think snowboarders only do, we think were thugs too". I usually tell them something like that besides the thug part...hah.

tell them "i do what snowboarders do, only a shitload better and unlike them, i dont act, talk and dress like every other trained seal on a plank to validate my existance".

that should end the conversation

well like im sure everyone gets the same shit in school like "skiings gay".  It used to piss me off but now i can care less because yes skiing is what i do, and i can care less what people think of me as long as i can ski im happy.  But like ya it is pothetic that every person that snowboadrds automatically gets labeled as a terrain park border.  But just the skiing that we do is so unique then it is to any other part of skiing or snowboarding.
