"The British halfpipe and slopestyle skiers are nicknamed Fridge Kids"
I fucking hate this description. Anyone who has any idea knows that the "fridges" in the UK suck hairy balls.
Whilst they have rails, boxes, etc, these so called "fridge kids" never get to "learn" how to hit kickers [of a decent size] properly and will always hit the knuckle or worse when they hit kickers in a well made park which is on continental Europe or North America.
Kickers are always pretty shitty, like at Chill in Manchester you have a choice of a really small roller, which is kinda fun to do butters off, or the bigger kicker which has such a hard transition it's pretty much impossible to pop. However, it does put you pretty high in the air, which is good when they don't have the space for you to go forward.
