Replying to How hard is skiing?

ESPN made an article yesterday about how much skill it takes to play a sport and made a chart out of 60 sports, number one taking the most skill. 60 taking the least. boxing took first and hockey took second. there are 4 or so disciplines of skiing involved, alpine, nordic, ski jumping, and freestyle. i probably missed some. now, in all honesty i think our view of freestyle skiing to be very difficult, it was rated 25 out of 60. i think it should be in the top ten. why? our sport requires guts first of all, you dont just go and drop a sixty foot cliff the first day you ever try skiing. hell tons of people never will. i know that is an exaggeration but skiing takes lots of practice. somebody can pick up a basketball and get the hang of it quickly. to freestyle ski, you have to learn how to ski, then go freestyle. it takes years for this. now maybe espn's view of freestyle skiing is to go down a little hill on snow blades and hit a 2 inch jump, or maybe they mean moguls or something.  anyways i wonder who agrees. here is the link.
