You can go ride with snowboarders and get better.  Just because they're on something else doesn't mean they can't push you.

^true but it is still hard to get better without a park. i learned freestyle at a mountain without a park, so i had to learn a lot of tricks off of rollers or jank ass kickers. i developed the ugliest style ever, that took a long ass time to correct.

try to get a lot of your snowboarder buddies togehter and take the time to build a decent jump to learn off of. but chances are ski patrol will make you take it down...

Im assumping he is saying for football you build the wrong muscles to be an agile freestyle skiier, not totally true, but if your gunna be the 6'0" 200lb line backer its gunna be harder to throw your shit around.  Untill 2 years ago i was the only skiier in my group of friends, it can be done.
