Replying to Racers know how to ski but are still one dimensional.
Racers do know how to ski... but theres alot of things that racers dont do.
I dont understand the point of sitting on a race course all day.
So when i'm riding up first chair on 1 on the way to mid gondola to race to the top and get freshies.. i see all these racers in tights on a groomed run...hmmm.. lets think about this for a minute.... why? winning, competion? why everyday? isnt this also one dimensional? i think so.
Granted racers diserve more respect than straight park skiers who barely know how to carve. but how much more? in my book not much....
racing is also not being a well rounded skier. one dimensional as i said before.
this brings us to my point... you dont get respect unless you can do everything...
hauling ass turns laying deep arcs down a groomer... skiing a bump line at mach 10 with no fear... hitting the biggest jump in the park with style and fluidity... as well as skiing P4 at mammoth off rocks on top into 6 super g turns at 50mph. isnt this the real all around skier..
i'm sick of reading all these posts defending racers... when in reality they're now better than park skiers.... unless they open they're minds and leave the race course and do it all.
peace bitches... Billy Buckwigger
oh yeah garrett i'm and idiot and i suck.... i dont have anything intellegent to say.
