i think im gonna stop racing this year and only do freestyle (i did both before). i just wanted to know, does skiing all day, just freeskiing get boring (i ski on a small mountain with a crap park). it would be fun to go to other mountains and i can because my little brother and my older brother still race and they go to some other mountains.

is it a good idea to make the switch?

I used to race two seasons ago, and I spent 6 days the hole winter just racing poles... Suddenly I just became sick of this entire project, and went over to jibbing. I am not trying to make you quit racing, but I am now much more comfortable with freestyle than 'strickt' style..

you better just quit all together becuz racing is so gay and you could never ski like a newshcooler

I bet you will be fine probly better then some one just starting freeskiiing with no race back ground. Being able to go fast and in control is good for bigger jumps, wont be as afraid probly.

no raceing is good to start with becuase you actually learn how to ski
at cannon a few ex racers now do park and are good in the park, but they can actually ski

freeskiing is not boring, dude think about it, doing whatever you want, or always doing a gay as course, and i could see if u did i just to travel and ride diff parks now and hten, but u can just freeski and still travel and ride park all u want, r u crazy, freeski only!

the only thing that will suck for a while is that i dont have any friends that arent on the race team, except for a few that used to race, but i guess il just make some new friends and see the old ones. its still gonna be more fun than racing.

yeha dudes, reacing rules. it teaches you how to actually ski, gives you a fearless attitude when it comes to speed, and is jsut a great start. it is tough to do both, i know lots of kids who have though. eventually it all just goes to newschool though.

and lots of the pros were former racers: pollard, olsen, others that i don't care to name. so don;t bash racing, the odds are the former racers are better skiers than you

i dont understand how anyone can enjoy skiin down a hill thru gates but thats just me, what pisses me off is these kids comin in the terrain park with their race skis and race bibs on doing pussy ass shit and gettin like 2 feet of air and thinking theyr the shit cause they think they can also do park

race, its not that bad, free skiing can get boring unless your with other people. plus you will treasure you park time more, and racing will improve your ability to ski which will have a direct affect on your time in the park. plus you get a mad rush from racing. if you could do it like i did it would be awesome, just race dont train hard at all. just do the fun stuff like the bombing runs and high speed carving.

racing was actually pretty fun. I did it last year when my school got a team. I sucked at it pretty much so I just went with the team and went in the park while they raced. I'll probably do it again next year.

I did the opposite, when i was 11 or so I got bored at my mtn so joined the race team. it was good, I lasted 6 years and had so much fun! met my best friends and travelled a lot. now I'm poor and can't afford much anymore (damn school), plus I don't have as much time, so I decided to make the most of my ski days and only freeski. the best freeskiers I know all still race or used to race. yeah you ski gates a lot but there is enough time to go have fun all over the mountain. and if you're skiing pretty much every day, you can't help but progress. plus we like to ski for fun too, like at christmas we always had some camps where all we did was rip up whistler.

you won't get bored. i raced a lot when I was younger and now I don't at all. i dont understand why people hate on racers i think thats the smartst route to take, learn to ski well while you're young and then switch over. i can't imagine trying to ski now if i hadn't raced in earlier years. i bet i would be terrible.

^well more terrible than i am now. racing definitely had good influences on me. although the two years where I was racing and trying to swtich over sucked. I don't think it's possible to thoroughly pursue both which was frustrating
