hey, i was just wonderin' if i am good or have any sort of future in skiing. i started freeskiing about four years ago, before that, i was a big mountainer. by the time i was 11 i could do some medium 3's. i can sort of get out of the pipe now (i'm 12) but not really. i can do big mutes, criticals, japans, lui-kangs, safties, etc.

and a other thing I can throw backXs and some other stuff and maby 720 but If I whent in a comp I would probly throgh a toxic 180 witch is my most styling trick so its kinda hard to tell if some one is good because they could be able to cork1080 but it might be the nastyest huck ever so there's know one that can really tell how good u are unless they see you ski with there own eyes....

chris turpin could do backs, flatspins, baranis, and all sorts of corks and shit in his first year of skiing.
but he lives in whistler, and can ski every day, so progression would have to do with the conditions you ski in.

Im at that level too
do I give a shit? hell no
Who cares if you are good or not..if your 12 and can do cork 5s well, thats good for you, but damn, I dont care.
I ski for myself and dont care about comparing myself to other people. Some people will be better than others in short amounts of time, thats just the way it is, but if you were good enough and wanted to get sponsored, you probably would be. You're worried about your future in skiing and your only 12? man thats fucked up, who cares if your good or not, give it your best, then at the end of the day come home and know you've had a good day, thats what skiing is about.
when life gives you a lemon throw it at someone

Birdy Birdy in the sky, why'd you do that in my eye, I wont fret I wont cry, I'm just glad cows dont fly.

I agree, you know if you're good or not. Dont ask people who have never seen you ski before.
