Freeskiing comp... not freestyle.

Freeskiing judges look for

A: the line you chooes, (difficulty)
B: how clean you ride it, no mistakes/falls.
C: Form
D: Tricks and drops...



Go to a freeskiing comp sometime and just observe everything and everyone. If you think you can do better than the poeple compeating, then sign up next year.

From what i've seen, you have to be sorta nutty and stupid. THose guys absolutely rip in any conditions. IF theres 3 feet of fresh, or 3 inches, they'll still kill it. Shit's rill scary.
