Replying to History of Our Sport

For English class at school, I'm supposed to write a research report on the history of something that interests me. Of course I thought of doing it on freestyle skiing, but I don't really know much about it. I'm 15, so I obviously wasn't around for the beginning of it, but from what I've seen some of you older members know a lot. I'll obviously look it up and do research for what's online, but I figured NS could have a lot of cool facts and stuff about dudes like michael descheneaux. thanks guys! +k for anything I could use
