Coach kids

what a fucking stupid thread.

So you just want a way to think you're better than people. Fuck I hate our community sometimes. Just go out, have fun and don't worry about what other people are doing. Different strokes for different folks

there is no way that makes us better at skiing, maybe it makes us more ballsy but a rodeo 5 is nowhere equal to a dub rodeo even if it is coached.

A trick is a trick...

Let me start off by saying this is probably the stupidest thing I ever heard.

Now, I learned to ski by myself from A to Z. Never had a coach and now that I am a park coach I really wish I had someone with me to teach me. Saying that a double learned with a coach is less impressive then a rodeo 5 that you learned by yourself doesn't make sense. The kid may have had some help but in the end did he trow that double of the 60-70ft jump? Yes. And even if he had practiced on an airbag to get the rotation he probably took a couple of hard bails before actually landing it.

You can think you are much better at skiing because you learned something by yourself but in the end, the guy from the chair that sees the other guy trow a double of the big jump while you are still trowing rod 5 off of the 20ft might not think like you.

Lol you people are so fucking nuts. Just go skiing, you dopes.

hehehe I'm going to genetically transfer the muscle memory of Goepper to my children and all you kids out there are going to drool when my 5 year old tosses trip 14s both ways

Yeah, trying to learn safely and make use of other peoples' knowledge is totally cheating.

Sounds like jealousy to me, and if you can't afford coaching that's otherwise available, look into scholarship programs. The freestyle team I worked for had a number of scholarship spots for kids who needed the help.

I think I killed a couple brain cells clicking on this thread...

A lot of people views on coaches are that they're strict perfectionists that suck the money from wealthy gaper parents, but really all coaches I have met and/or proudly been coached by are just dudes doing what they love. They're just out here for the stoke of teaching kids new tricks. I can honestly call my coach a mate. Also they guys and girls getting coached are almost always just as chill.

S.J.WSo you just want a way to think you're better than people. Fuck I hate our community sometimes. Just go out, have fun and don't worry about what other people are doing. Different strokes for different folks

Unless they are buying a car right?

GNNNN why do I feel NS is slowly being invaded with stupid 12 year olds...(fro real this time, even though we always thought it always was) FUCK the Olympics, I never thought id say this, but KEEP FREESKIING NICHE and STOP MAKING IT A FUCKING COMPETITION, DON'T LET NS BECOME 4CHAN OR SOME SHIT. fuck this. Keep your coached friends and your jealousy, nobody gives a fuck if you can dub, quad, centuple dickcopter. KEEP THAT DIRTY STUPID NON PRO COMPETITION OFF NS.

I never say this, but fucking kill yourself.

If you think that kids that are coached are worse than a "regular skier" than you are retarded.

well aren't you an upright piece of shit.

JibbaTheHuttwhat a fucking stupid thread.

this.


Who cares. I destroyed my brain learning tricks. If people can learn new tricks and still be able to form sentences and not drool all over themselves I say good for them. I learned backflips without a helmet too. Somebody get me a cookie.

Seriously though, I've never hit an airbag but damn are they a great invention. If we could get more of them out there(which is happening), better/more consistent jump building(again happening) and more accessible coaching(gettin there but could use work imo) that's fucking legit.

I could build jump over a punji pit to learn my tricks but it doesn't somehow validate the risk in the end. I'm not saying there's nothing cool about throwing a big trick on a gnarly jump/ rail/ whatever, just that there's no point in hurting yourself learning something in a sketchy sense if you have better options.

Hell, I didn't have access to a park when I learned flips and most of my other jump tricks. Had I had access you bet your ass I would have been hitting some more proper booters. It might have been harder to learn some of the stuff on sketchier jumps, but it doesn't make me any better.

Some people have more access to better shit. That's life. It's all about taking what you've got, making the absolute most out of it, and never worrying too much about how good you are/what other think of you to stop having fun.

Get on your skis, grab some friends, and have fun. Whether that's shredding some huge booters in the park, or getting down on a hand built booter at the sledding hill, as long as you're having a good time, fuck the haters.

/rant ish thing type deal about things and stuff

I coached for a freestyle non profit program, was wicked tight, more of that needs to happen across the country.

apparently the kids who are coached are not also coached in the field of sarcasm. this was clearly a joke and everybody who took it seriously made it obvious that theyre nothing without the help of a coach.

You sound like a butt hurt asshole.

Oh! Good for you then. Good luck!
