Was there a person or something you did that made you see the light? I knew enough about skiing before joining NS to know that I dislike racers, but didn't know shit about freestyle. NS really helped with the freestyle aspect thank you guys. and Go!

I respect other people on the hill and know enough to get around without getting in people's way.

The moment I watched the 2010 JOSS edits. And then my life changed.


Oh and the moment that I realized I was going through the park without actually hitting anything, and someone threw a snowball at me from the chairlift.


I vowed to change from that moment on.

At least you were trying stuff. I don't think I have ever seen a girl in the park at my home mountain. Not to say there aren't I just haven't seen any

About 5th grade I got bored of hitting only groomers so I started hitting runs that weren't groomers and my skiing improved.

I guess when I said it it sounded like that. But I don't hate all racers I think that the majority of them at my hill are douchebags and that has altered my perspective of racers. Hell Ive taken some pretty funny bails and actually had a racer ask me if I was okay.
