So Im going to graduate university in spring and my Bachelor work or the main thesis is about freestyleskiing and its popularity. But as You all know freestyle skiing is young and there are not much articles or study books about freestyle skiing.

I am asking you, if You guys know any, to recommend me some articles or like EBSCOhost engine where I can find scientific articles!

I thank all the fellow skiers!

man you wont be able to find sufficient sources for this, do it on something that other people have written about. It'd be an interesting topic for you and for us to read but you're only making it way too tough for yourself.

Then this would be the first scientific work about skiing! Why choose the easy way? At the end, someone have to do it..

google scholar.

although you can't just do a paper on "skiing". you need a better topic like that.

a couple of suggestions (from the papers that I just saw on google scholar):

-climate change and its effect on the skiing industry
-injuries and risk management in alpine skiing

lots of stuff on the later one, you should probably do it.

there is also lots of papers on avalanches and snowpack stablility. another good topic.

I can see what you are trying to tell me. I need articles, polls, results of the questionnaires etc.

The topic is about Freestyle skiing popularity. Also I have to use at least one scientific article in my work.

I cant just start my work with the popularity part, first thing that I need to do is to expand the word - freestyle skiing. to introduce it.

More time to ski, although teaching is physicaly difficult and mentally killing if the students are like 7 years old

There's some really good advice in this thread.

But you're probably going to ignore it all and write a highschool essay about freestyle skiing.
Let us know how badly you fail

D1 lax = minimal skiing time

And you must be really good if you can play at Denver. Great school though.
