I see that every now and then. Most of those little kids don't have great style though. Every thing seems penciled as fuck.They can usually spin like pencil 9s though.

sorry for double post but I feel like more and more kids only focus on park and these may be some of the signs of it

Keep in mind that I am 22.

Bo wells landed his first twelve on his twelfth birthday...At NAO...

There are some crazy little kids in summit. It seems like most of them are pretty much just okay skiers and good in the park though.

these kids are on the mountain like 7 days a week just hittin the park and have been for years. i talked to the 8 year old once throwin 7s and cab 5s and he lived 5 minutes away and had been skiin since he was 2 so the mountain(loon) was like his backyard. its like these kids have nothin to worry bout other than skiin which is sick but thats probably how they progress so fast

my little brother isn't that small now, but he was that kid when he started skiing 3 years ago when he was 10 - he learned 5s and rails in his first year and now he's doing 9s and spinning on and off rails and boxes. He's way better than me at skiing park. When they're young, kids don't seem to have much fear, and they are so small they don't have much mass to move around, which helps them.

when you are young and you weigh 90lbs falling isn't much of an issue. falling when you weigh 200+lbs is a different story...

i ski circles around them on the flats, pow, trees, big mountain (real skiing), so I'm not too concerned.

Sure they can throw 10's and swups on rails twice their height, but have you ever seen these mini-shreds carve a groomer?  Or ski pow?  I'm impressed, but talk about skipping the basics and becoming less solid because of it.  Many of the best freeskiers did their time racing before opening up.  Foundation is key

don't worry about the kids who are cocky little bastards. we were all at that age at some point where we didnt give a shit about anything because we had recently come to the realization that santa wasn't real...they'll grow out of it

They are little kids.  They will be 15 years more mature and if they want to excel in the sport, they won't be cocky douchebags.

Man, it's cool to see little kids ripping, but when they get an attitude and start snaking drops somebody should straighten em out.

It was way better two weeks ago, now the jumps in the outback have some flat landings, but yah jump line is still alright. Patrol is cracking down on inverts which seems random at this point in time..although there seems to be a lot of injuries this year so that could possible be it

A couple of years back I was at the Polish Freesking Open. In the bar before the comp a saw a young dude wearin tees that were almost down to his ankles and just thought who the fuck was that?
Later on he won this comp with sw cork 10 with tail at the age of 14 ! oh and then I found out it was Henrik, well he wasn't that well-know then xDD

I feel like the biggest difference between our generation and theirs, is that they are growing up with park already being big.

Me and my generation "started" the cool park thing.  When I first started skiing, there were no twin-tips and skiiers were hardly going in the park.  Now, it the complete opposite and these kids are growing up with it being a natural thing.

Hopefully it won't progress like snowboarding where every gaper w/ a snowboard thinks that they can go in the park and hit every feature.
