LOL, i think you must be the girl i noticed then. I haven't been to keystone that much this season either. I just see you every time I'm there. If you're the girl I'm thinking of, you're definitely better than me at park. I'll say hi tomorrow if you're there and I see you haha.

at least they are progressing.

honestly mens comps are so fucking boring to watch. all dub corks and nothing else i dont give a fuck anymore. everyone looks the same doing the same tricks.

guys like hornbeck, axe, vanular and leigh who dont ski comps are so much more fun to watch. jossi too i like watching him

Fuck yeah princess bride. Solid film to quote.


Though the level of riding is nowhere near where professional mens skiing is, switch 10s were winning every big air comp back in 05 and 06 in case people forgot. Pretty respectable trick for girls to be throwing over a big kicker like that, stoked on where women's skiing will go. They just proved that progression is possible.

Sweet that the girls are progressing! Has anyone seen any footage? Seems like the ninequeens hasn't been covered very well, can only find the video from day 1 and 2.

it is a lot smaller but progression is progression and you have to take it for what it is.

I agree that girls suck at skiing, but they're actually progressing.

And look at this...

Why do you always have to be like that? And going out of your way to exaggerate just to be a jerk? I believe the first x games big air was in 2000, and it was a hideous pencil switch 7 by Cusson. https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/content/viewvideo/id/292777/

And please don't make any more posts about "kids on NS these days..." when you still act like one.

Back to the original post: Nice job ladies! Way to push your limits.

That video made me realize how hard of a time girls have committing to tricks. They still look too afraid of hurting themselves in the air and open up. Go for it ladies

ignorance is bliss my friend. who cares if i cant do a trick? I can still criticize PRO skiers who cant. I think the fact they are girls is turning into a lame excuse, i know girls could try as hard as they did at this comp every day but i feel like they don't (minus maybe the top 5 girl skiers, which is why theyre top 5) look at all the young dudes out there who send it on the daily doing new shit, girls could do it too.

"The women were approximately 52% and 66% as strong as the men in the upper and lower body respectively. The men were also stronger relative to lean body mass."

So stop hating.
They are NOT male skiers!
