I don't give a fuck.

And its one of the best things that has happened to my skiing. Let me explain; For as long as I can remember I have been somewhat apathetic about life in general. Sometime this late spring/early summer I made the decision that I just don't really care what happens anymore. I am not a complete failure, I still have a job, am in second year of college, have friends etc.. but I don't really give a fuck anymore about what happens in life. Or happens to me. Kind of like I quit trying and lost fear of getting hurt but at the same time funneling that negative energy into skiing. I guess its probably self destructive but at the same time I can seize the day, push myself and not worry about regrets. This summer when I was kayaking with some friends, I jumped off a cliff into a river that was so high that the impact gave me a bloody nose, cut up the inside of my mouth from my lips pressing against my teeth, and I had a headache for the next couple days. I did this because I wanted to scare the shit out of myself, somewhat desensitize my body to fear in hopes of further progressing this winter. Looking back on this past year, other than spending a week in Wyoming hiking with some of my family, I can honestly say that the only good memories I have are those of skiing or getting drunk with my friends. Its the best thing that has ever happened to me and I honestly don't know what I would do without it. Being alive can be difficult but its rewards can be great if you look for them.
Carpe Diem.

Sorry for the rant..

This is true. When you quit caring about shit in your life you quit being afraid of failing and you charge harder.

well Ima go against the thread and this thread and try to respond seriously. I actually can relate alot to what you said and it echoes my experience this past year. 10 months ago while doing some standard stuff in the park I put my left collarbone into 3 jagged peices. it hurt. really bad. for along time. healing process took forever and the time out was both depressing and fear developing. 3 months later when I was actually able to ski like myself again I found myself in a world where confidence would have to be re-learned. It was really frusterating at first. stuff was scary. crashes felt like the would all be injury related. some fun kinda fell out of it. It wasnt until 2 months later in Mt. Hood when I made a change. lots of thinking, praying, and reflecting made me realize that if I really wanted to acheive the things I wanted in skiing, things were going to need to dramatically change. So against fear of injury and blah blah I tried frontflips at Hood. I got em'. got em' good. that pretty much set off an extremly awesome chain of events. I learned to desensitize myself to fear as you put it. I jumped on the tramp all summer. forced my self to learn a few double flips that I never thot I could do. That was amazing and surprising. I haven't skied a ton this year so far cuz Tahoe doesn't have snow yet. But I can already tell you that a ton of the fear is gone and things are going in a very good way!!!

woah....that was deep. ima get sumthin' to drink =)

The lifestyle he's describing is similar to that of a drug addict... It's fun and makes sense for a while but will eventually go one of two ways - a collapse into a 'crazy' state like many of the other I-don't-give-a-fuck'ers you see on the streets; or an eventual realisation that living in today's society requires you to care about shit. Look at any group of "I don't care" people.. By the time they reach maturity they either grow out of that opinion, or become fucking dropkicks. For better or worse, society depends on people caring about themselves and others.

Well I'm not sure that I agree with completely not caring about anything. I think you definitely have to be able to put things in perspective a lot of times. But giving a fuck sometimes too is very important if you ask me.

If I were to compare the time spent thinking or doing skiing, along with the money that goes into it, I'm sure it would qualify as a low level drug addiction.

I agree. I am a fullblown drug addict if skiing were considered a drug. I check webcams all the time, even of places I don't even ski at that often. I fucking check Hood Meadows and I have skied there like six times in my life. I check my home mountain fives times a day and am usually very disappointed. Fuck, this no snow shit is killing me.

I hiked up my local mountain yesterday in the rain and skied on some heavy crud just to get the sensation. I feel like a junky.

Chris Rubens said it best in SSD "Skiing is a serious addiction, could be compared to... crack"

But I try to give a fuck about school cus I wanna get into a a college that I want to go to and not need to settle for second best. When I'm skiing or on the tramp I try to give less of a fuck and get over the fear. For me it's less of not giving a fuck and more just balling up. I've progressed so much in the 8 days I've skied this year because of it. Already I went from just bein able to do a box to getting down rails and 270s onto boxes. On the tramp I got corks and am currently working on rodeos (not a fear thing, just getting the feel for them / learning how to do them)

I feel compelled to say fuck yeah dude, don't give a fuck, but just keep it in perspective, you can't do this forever, try to give a fuck about things that will help you continue to ski like your job and school.

your an idiot! If you dont give a fuck thats one thing and that sounds cool, if you dont watch yourself and do stupid things like that cliff, your gonna be injured sooner as you think, and if your injured bro, nobody cares how much you love skiing cuz you just cant ski.
At that time you will figure out how much you really love skiing and how stupid you were being wrecking your body.
