they get creative because they have to, otherwise they would't get any attention. I like it this way. I think we should make national legislation to limmit professional athletes salaries, especially in the NBA, i hate those people and i don't mean black people, i think i just made that comment worse, oh well. but anyways we take the money that would go into buying "ballin cribs" and give it to people that are grossly underpayed, like teachers and what not. think about it

^Haha, what the fuck, tangent...

But yeah, Am's have some talent for sure. Sometimes the only thing distinguishing them from pro's are their appearance in ski movies and travel budget. Ability wise, lots of them are on par with pros. Pro's are usually more consistent tho, which gives them the podiums, but in an all out one trick battle, I dunno, a lot of amatures might make the pro's sweat.

to me, and it has always been this way, watching segments by am's inspires me to ski way more than a segment by tanner hall. i think its because i see myself as that am and by watching him it makes me feel like i can do it. or maybe its because i hate tanner hall. who knows

another advantage to skier's inabuility to make a living would be that it would stunt the gymnastic quality ever so growing, no on would risk their life without some kind of material reward, it would be all about style and no one would try to progress, hum... thats what mest be happening is snowboarding. this also which would make me less depressed and probably alot of other folks, utilitarian values

yeah really all teacher complain and they dont even work that much. They get so many vacations plus the whole summer to earn even more doing other jobs if they wanted too.
