It is important to remember that your teacher does not want to read an essay on this topic.

Eh not true.

Wrote an essay on the literacy practices of the newschool ski community and my college prof found it really interesting.

If your saying "_____ did the first double cork" or who the d spin was named after then no it wouldn't be very interesting. Depends how you write it.

watch history of freeski salamon freeski tv

talk bout people who started it

also watch transistions that will tell you alot ( you can get it from itunes for free)

talk bout why we went ( cause moguls and aerials are too restrictive)


talk bout where we come (tanner + dumont x games battles maybe)


then where we are now different parts of the sports

jus a few ideas maybe?

Here's a post from Jacob Wester's blog: http://www.freeride.se/jacobwester/2010/11/23/thoughts-on-style-and-its-royal-family/

I found it a interesting and honest look into how Newschool freestyle has changed and sort of come to a halt with doubles and whether or not judging is unfair etc.

Check it out!

we all love skiing, its great no question. However,if its easier for you to do an essay on a different topic or you think it will get you a better grade then do it.
