So today i was finally getting comfortable again on jumps, I tore out my acl at the start of last year and had a season off.  So i was crusing through the park just throwing down some easy 5s and shit.  Later in the afternoon i was in the middle of a 3 jump line where a random comes out of no where and cuts me off.  Not wanting to take the dumb ass out i stop real hard real quick.  Hooking my edge and my skis didnt release (i weight almost 200 and have them set at 7.5 so its not cranked like some people have).  and i hear 2 pops and crazy pain...go to the hospital and they cant tell me exactly what it is but i know its my acl. 

Dont know where i was going with this but FUCK GAPERS KNOW THE RULES and im fuckin pissed that it'll be more then 2 years since i have been able to ski as hard as i want, or at all

its not that they don't understand them, its just that they don't know them and don't know any better. still does not give them the right to do what they do, and and be completely innocent. I hate those people they just ski through the park and roll over the lips of jumps. but the thing that pisses me off the most is kids flying off the sides of the ride ups to rails. I can remember this one little racer kid came flying down the park and launched off ride up to a rail, and took out a bunch of us waiting to hit a jump. The little racer just got up and skied away, but a few seconds later I saw his racing coach come down behind him with a few other little racer kids. So I chewed that guys ass out. I yelled at him for bringing his kids down here ad just flying through. Told him don't bring them back here unless they are going to follow the rules and not cut everyone off. You don't see us coming on your race course cutting people off, and not being safe, or coming into your training sessions and putting people at risk by not following the rules. I just find it that kids that ride park just get no respect by anyone, and we are looked at as troublemakers. I'm just fed up with it and I think that park passes are the greatest idea ever, and all mountains should have them. Just for this reason. end rant/

i hate how gapers ruin the park, they run straight up the jumps and make one big ditch going up the middle and not making the landing, killing the jumps and when they jump off the the side of a rail take off. ( so many gapers in michigan!)

after thinking about this further, I think gapers should be fitted with special bindings that automaticly release at any given time, sending them flying.  Say, when they slowly make their way over to the landing of a jump, inrun, lip, etc.

Once they have completed a park lesson with strict criteria in the mini-park their bindings will be adjusted to only eject when they snake someone.
