Any discipline of skiing? Or just freeskiing?

If freesking, none to my knowledge.  If your considering racing, jumping, nordic, etc. than I have no idea.

Actually, "black" is the politcally correct term.  Not all black people are Africans who live in America.

to all the people saying kevin arnold, im pretty sure he isnt a pro.
he is good but he isnt "pro" not to be a dick or anything but i think the only reason he has any exposure is cause he is black.


im black too, so i can say this

eh, he does the same stuff over and over again, he gets kind of boring.

all i see him do are back flips, and like no grab spins. never seen him do anything over 7.
on rails he has kind of a cool style but it seems like to thug, he lives in laguna beach.

You're far more ignorant than the person who made this thread... But hey, at least you used quotation marks and capital letters to make your point look legitimate..
