well everyone complains about obnoxious kids at their hill and attitudes, here is something positive:

I rode for the first time this season on friday. I just got into freeride last year, and frankly, I suck. I can do 3s over 30 ft tables and under, but that is about it. I SUCK at rails, tried 2 last year, that's it. So this year I decided I was going to work on my rails. First day out there is a beautiful 10-ft flat. I proceed to crash about 7 times (not a joke, I have no balance :) . At this point I am pretty embarrased that I suck bad, when a couple of snowboarders sitting there say 'yo man, you've got some balls. I wouldn't try that on skis if I were skiing' then say 'wow, that was pimp' when my friend does a regular slide to switch on a kink. Really nice kids on the hill and I love it. I am sorry everyone else's experience has sucked, but look for the positive :)


I dream of winter.

oh, I forgot to mention, the purpose of this post is supposed to be what Hazel_32 is doing. Post a time when someone was really chill or helped you with a tip, or just pick up your carcass after bailing

ive had a couple times where ive fallen and people have gotten my ski for me because it was uphill of me. i sort of want to hug them not just for getting my ski, but just for being such a friendly person.
and of course i always help kids up (and out of the way) when they bail. i try to keep the hill as bro-ish as possible

I spent half a day teaching my bro (9yrs old) to slide a flat box that was prob like 15ft long. He fell his first few times and was having fun cause it didn't hurt. He actually cleaned it his last few attempts, and a skier we had seen throughout the day that was doing nice 5's and 7's was waiting to hit the box next, and once my bro got it he was like, 'nice job little man. keep itup.' That's what I like to see. That made my brothers day more than it did sliding the box.

I skied park in Utah today for the first time ever pretty much and everyone was cool there was no attitudes, I met a bunch of people in the park and we ended up doing laps, I dont know if everyone was just in a good mood cuz they finally built a decent jump at snowbird or if people are just friendly out here.

personally the way i see it. whats the point of snowbaording or skiing if your going to piss on everyone and get mad about everything. As for meeting people on the hill, i've met a ton of people on the hill and alot from NS. It can be a nice experience and makes for a good day. how'ever some of the little kids wondering through the park should stay with mommy.

i was sessing the c rollercoaster box at mammy this week and pretty much sucked ass, but a snowboarder was doing the same and having alot of trouble with it

we both noticed that the box could be a bitch

so i turned aroudn after taping my friend hitting the second c/r box and he fuckign iced it, and boarded over to me for a high five

him hitting it got me even more stoked than the time i sort of greased it. thats what its all about

we are all connected by the fact we slide on snow. in my opinion, there is nothing better than sessioning something with a friend or group, and working together, cheering each ohter on when they stick it. it makes it that much better when the challenge brings two people together, adn they become friends out of it. that story really made my day

last time i went up, i bailed on a kink rail and lost one of my poles. so a snowboarder came up after me and handed me my pole, and i said 'thanks guy.' unfortunately it was a chick and i kinda felt like a dumbass

theres always times to be chill and I try to be chill and friendly most of the time but there are also times when its just too hard to be nice. Like when theres a big line of people waiting to drop and you finally get your chance and some fucker who doesn't know what hes doing cuts right in front of you, 'GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY YOU CUNT!'



and more, much more than this, I did it my way

but yeah most of the time I'm completely chill and often I have dudes on their first pair of freerides skis ride up to me and ask me how to do rails right.

yeah today i was ridding at Alpine, which was like the largest convention of newschoolers ive ever seen, but i was kinda nervous about going into the park but when i got there it was so chill. lots of skiers and boarders just helping eachothers out and really having a good time. it was awesome to see and really help me relax, i ate some shit on some 3's but some kids helped me out which made me feel a lot better. just a great thing to see

i always help people out with rails and give them pointers on how to do shit. i also help them out when they fall. like this one time, this kid bailed hard as fuck off a jump. i put my poles up on the jump and helped the kid off to the side. he had no idea what was going on so my buddy got ski patrol and i chilled there with him talking to him. unfortunately, i cant think of a time where people did anything like that for me, minus my buddies.
