Search bared and nothing came up for this years FFL so far. I'm not really sure how this all works because I haven't done it in the past but let's get this going. I did a lot of reading and think i know how it all works but just talk about it and post up leagues in this thread. like for example is this a fun game? If you don't understand or want to join you can go to fantasyfreeride.com Also i started a league as well if you want to join, but you don't have to. Here's the link. http://fantasyfreeride.com/index.php?section=leagues&league_id=42&hash=30b2e7ce4f3cfb8b3a47517073ac5f96 Also trading didn't open yet so it didn't start but you can make an account and they should be starting it up soon. Thanks tall-tee-tristy

My list so far:

Gus Kenworthy
Tom Wallisch
Duncan Adams
Tj Schiller
Kaya Turski
Jen Hudak
Roz G.

This is my first year doing it, would it be best to spend all the money I have now ($68,000 left) or keep it for after the first competition?

My team which is subject for change.


Nick Goepper
Tom Wallisch
Gus Kenworthy
Kaya Turski
Devin Logan
Russ Henshaw
Thomas Krief
Justin Dorey
Bobby Brown

I might ditch Bobby untill he's 100%, maybe pick up either E-Dollo or Jossi. Can anyone voice in on his current condition with his ankle?

This is also my first year, but I'm guessing it's smarter to spend the money so at least you have a chance of getting points. If you don't pick anyone up, that gives you a 100% chance of getting 0 points off that 68 thousand. If your team tanks, you can always buy/sell skiers for the next comp. Good luck!

It's because people outside the skiing community don't pay any attention to it unlike xgames and dew tour

Should I just save up my $18,000 instead? Because I'm not sure if it's really worth my money to buy one of them.

this. with the adjustment of rider price due to performance in events its good to have spare money so you can afford to drop riders who arent performing well and pick the ones dominating. without losing too many riders off your team

I'm trying to get my team setup for the Grand Prix, but Fantsy Freeride isn't letting me buy a ton of athletes. Like the buy button next to their name isn't there, it's just an X. Why is this? Also, for the Grand Prix is it only Americans? Thanks.

6- If athlete declines their start position then start will be filled using Coaches Discretion
up to total host nations quota of 40 total.


that's off the site for criteria of invite. The way it's worded leads me to believe that there will be people competing from other countries. "host nation" is what makes me think this. Kind of confusing though.

Double post but interesting how she is competing in halfpipe, she doesn't normally does she? She's on my FF so it would be dope if she does well in slope and pipe!

Sorry there's lots of unanswered questions in here, I've kind of been out of touch with the FFL thing. Hope everyone has been enjoying it and doing well.
