I've been on this website for 7 years! SHIT!
Still loving skiing although my joints don't function as well as they did when I was in highschool and was riding a pair of orange 1080s.

Wow, I just had my bindings taken off my old silver 1080s and put on my newer SPKs...bummer.  I'm keeping the skis though, because they're classic.  I have a pair of the 420s too, zomg!

That's sick that you've been here so long.  I guess you kinda deserve that wise looking icon now don'tcha?

I'm 9 years older than you. Skiing makes me feel old. I'm not going to stop skiing park for a while though, so much fun.

The next skis I bought were the first Dynastar Trouble Makers. I ripped the edges out, of course. I think they lasted two and a half seasons. Then I broke a pair of fujatives, then another pair of fujatives. I bought my first fat skis last season, JP vs Juliens, and am on some El Rays too. Last season was my best ever. I got to spend the season skiing everyday in Switzerland and finally got to hit Whislter in the summer. Skiing is Sweeeeeeet.

I still have my brothers orange 1080s in our garage. They are like 135s and are pretty much snowblades. And like the guy said above I always wanted to try them out because they had two tips and he could go backwards and do 180s. Oh man was I jealous

7 years ago I was just starting high school. I:

- didn't know freeskiing existed
- hadn't smoked a cigarette or drank liquor
- had never travelled anywhere by myself
- didn't own a camera of any sort
- thought razor scooters were the shit
- had never kissed a girl

Fuck, that's a long time. A lot has changed in 7 years.


If you look forward 7 years, where do you see yourself in 2016? Still on NS, feeling nostalgic about the original hellbents and the days when Tom Wallisch was new?

one decade and still kickin'.

It's funny though... my mentality about skiing hasn't really changed very much in the past 10 years. from my first switch 180 10 years ago to my first backflip off a cliff last year... STOKED!
