Parents and freestyle skiing

My parents are always on my back about my freestyle skiing. They especially hate when I do fronts and backs, or inverts. They have punished me various was when I do tricks around them or they hear of me doing them. I don't know what to do about it. Does any one have suggestions or a similar situation to mine?

Just start smoking and then tell them you'll quit if you can keep skiing hard.
(I suggest extra lites).

That sucks, my dad is like my coach and filmer, but if you do well in school(That always keeps my parents happy), then they shouldn't give a crap that you love to ski, and could support you

My moms cool with it and supports me. My dad...can be an ass. He always finds an excuse to not let me go skiing. Im in a big ass fight with him right now about it. He wants me to end season about 3 or 4 weeks early.

my mom thinks it's the dumb and waste of time, and she doesn't like my style at all. she thinks i should wear spyder one-piece suits and do blues all day.
my dad on the other hand loves what i am doing.

my parents think skiing is a waste of time and money, thus, have no support for it and have never even see me ski execpt for in my backyard. which i don't get cause when they were my age (16) their parents brought them on ski trips to vermont ect. but on well, F-them.

start paying for your own equipment, that will shut them up. and if it doesnt, tell your parents to stop living through you, there are many worse things than skiing, and im sure your parents have allready done most of them
