it seems with like lyn-z adams stomping a mctwist this weekend on a skateboard vert that girls skiers might start hucking themselves more

what new tricks do you think we will see by girls in the near future?

double flips, stomping tricks easily (aka afterbang), and hopefully reaching the same level as guys. (all though some women already are that good)

Girls kill it and so do guys.  However they are on different athletic levels and it it unfair to compare them.  I can't wait to see what female park skiing will progress to; they will for sure push to reach their full potential just like men are pushing to reach theirs.

no...women's skiing will always be light years behind mens skiing. Because women are inherently bad at sports.

I beg to differ. Show me the girl(s) that are on the same level as the men, and i'll show you an alien. Women will progress for sure, and right now there are several women out there who throw down, and whom i enjoy watching ski, but i think it is a matter of fact that women will never be on the same level as men. It's basically a physical thing, look at track and field, that sport has been done by women in decades now, and they still arent as good as the men, and this is because of their physique. Men are bigger and stronger, which enable them to perform bigger and harder tricks than women will probably ever be able to. This is not meant (nor is it) as a sexist thing, im basically just stating facts.

^this is way out of context. there are plenty of girls that are good at sports. they don't compete with the guys but they still compete.

Here's the future: Kelly Sildaro

And Rachael Burks kills it too


as for the future of tricks, right now I just want to see some more stylie grabs in what they are throwing now. take it back to the basics and then take all those to switch...
I am eager to see Grete's new film project though.

airing above the lip in the pipe doing a spin, grabbing other than mute and safety on spins, no whack flips and hopefully more than a straight slide in slope comps.

I'm not hating on girls in anyway, I just don't see any progression year to year from the pro females. Now contrary to that I have met some very sick non pro girls who throw down.

it's not "little boys" of NS. It's honesty. Women's skiing sucks. It's a complete joke. That's it.

Girls skiing now is still nowhere near mens skiing ten years ago.  People were hucking shit so outrageously huge 10 years ago, and doing legit technical things.

Aside from the occasional front switch up, or switch 7, Girls generally do not compare to an average skier.  They just look uncomfortable it seems like.  There the girls that kill it, but they're somewhat rare. 

step it up... i don't see any reason why you shouldn't be as good as guys?  It definitely has nothing to do with physical limitations.  it's a mindset.... get into the right mindset and send shit.

No one saw it almost should be standard to throw dubs on the men side. So why shouldn't we been seing double flips from a girl this season or next?
but i don't think it's gonna be this season!
