i feel like there is a lot that we don't know whats going on behind the scene with Kelly and her relationship with the ski industry, but i feel like companies, sponsors, tv, etc. see this young kid as just a gold mine waiting to be exploited for cash


what are y'alls thoughts??


child stars in the ski industry? can this be positive??

How is this any different than Tanner or Shaun White? They've been in the sport since their teens.

She is exploited as much as any other skier who gets paid to wear or ski certain brands. Nothing new

Her dad pushes her and Henry pretty hard. Seems a bit too much at times but it also seems like she still really enjoys skiing.

When I saw Kelly and Henry at MSLM with their dad they were just having fun. As well as she describes herself as a student with a keen freeskiing hobby. She doesn't even consider herself pro

This is what I wonder. The amount of time they must have spent training on the slope for her and Henry to be as good as they are at their ages, and how good they were at even younger ages is staggering to think about.

When the Chinese have Olympics training "concentration" style camps for children, we call it child abuse. But when parents force that sort of intensive training onto their own children, that's where things start to get fuzzy.

And don't tell me Kelly and Henry wanted to get up every single day and ski. They've been throwing down awesome tricks since before they could string together a coherent sentence, let alone contemplate or articulate what they want out of life. By the time they possibly could, too much is already invested.

It's really easy to look at them and be envious of their skills and overlook how much of their normal childhood has probably been sacrificed. I watched a documentary about some guy who wanted to prove women could be good at chess, so he drilled his daughter in chess every day since early childhood, and lo she became a grandmaster. On the one hand that's an awesome accomplishment but on the other hand it's sort of frightening the way these children were molded to the whims of their parents. Something about it just doesn't sit quite right. Link: http://documentaryheaven.com/my-brilliant-brain-make-me-a-genius/

I'm not saying they are... But when I was competing internationally at the age of 11, every single parent was more into it than the athletes themselves. Granted, it was a different sport and maybe shit has changed but yeah. The amount of pressure that girl is under is unreal.

Yeah. I'm a terrible skier. I think everyone knows that. That has nothing to do with this thread. I'm just saying, well you saw what I said. I hope that's not the case but if it is, then that sucks.

I feel like this argument can (and definitely already has over the years) been applied to both those guys too. They don't negate the fact that there's something unsettling about a bunch of companies directing a kid for their own agenda.
I just know how naive, immature, and malleable I was at that age, and I'm sure that's where most people's sensitivity about this comes from.

I'm sure her family is well aware of this risk though, and is more than capable to handle it with/for her until she can.

Do you have the same feelings towards parents that force their children to do homework and get good grades? why are those parents viewed in a better light?

I can pretty much garauntee that those kids like skiing more than they like homework and school work hahaha.

I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but whatever I don't even go on here anymore rly. You're probably one of the worst members this site has ever had. You post in EVERY fucking thread and your posts are either two words or stupid claim shit like "competing internationally" that you know in the end will get you made fun of yet you post it anyways. First of all, any experienced gymnast could land a backflip on snow, or at least make a better first attempt than you. One of my best friends' parents own a gymnastics place and he competed for like 12 years, long story short he was throwing backflips on a snowboard before he could really even get down the mountain. If you're a gymnast or aerialist your body understands how to move in the air, plain and simple, and you would have whipped your backie around way faster. I'm pretty sure I'm the same age as you which is ASTONISHING because you literally NEVER get off this website and cause endless drama on this site and then when people start calling you out for it you deflect it and refuse to take responsibility and instead it's whoever called you out's fault.

So yeah, again, I'm sure your squad of 16 year olds will come defending you, and I'm fairly sure I'll get flamed for this/my post deleted, in the end I bet you have good intentions but the way I perceive you on this site is the middle school drama queen. OMG I'M GONNA THROW A BACKIE AT WHISTLER !!! *doesn't do it and gets shit on in an online message board* SCREW YOU GUYS I NEVER SAID I WAS GOING TO DO IT ITS NOT FAIR LETS SEE YOU GUYS DO IT!!!

Well she went for the backy and got more than halfway around..which is more than what a lot of NSers have accomplished.

And show her some respect guys, probably why most of you can't get women.

Please don't. Just either stop claiming the shit out of everything on this online message board and then getting pissed and defensive when people are a little cynical in their responses. And for the record I don't think your backie attempt was bad at all and I can't backie. But if I were going to try I wouldn't post in an online thread on NS and then get mad when people start calling me out for not doing it.

And I made a thread asking for help doing one... I wasn't the one who made the callout thread and I didn't make any of the 5 other threads posted about it. I got hyped on it and wanted to send one, whats the big fucking deal? I thought that was the whole point of NS, to like ski with people and talk about skiing and help people out? I guess I shouldn't have said anything to begin with. But then people took it too far, like absurdly far, and I got tired of it. I never said anything about it being unfair. I was just trying to get people off my back about it because the amount of bullshit was excessive. And yeah. Sorry that after 5 years of being out of gymnastics I couldn't take it to snow.

By the time they possibly could, too much is already invested.


this is a hell of a point, it's pretty much how i feel about ski racing. i moved to utah to pursue my "dream" and now that i'm here i feel like i dont really care anymore.. but I'm pretty damn good and i moved all the way out here so i dont have much of a choice. i hope for her sake she doesn't end up in that situation because its a really shitty feeling. its pretty much like you can't keep going because you dont love it anymore but you can't quit now because you're in too deep with sponsors, parents, coaches, friends, everything. there's no way out



damn that was a rant but it felt good

Thanks for sharing. That's what I most worry about with young athletes that are pushed hard, that they will feel trapped. I hope Kelly doesn't feel that way, she seems happy, but she's so young still, at that age most kids just want to please their parents.

I found an article about the "Brutal costs of raising the worlds 631st best tennis player." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2015-08-28/costs-of-noah-rubin-becoming-the-world-s-631st-best-tennis-player

I feel like the following quotes could easily be applied to young ski athletes:
"What were they spending on me? Absurd numbers, and I was still young and they didn't know what potential I had. It's putting down a lot of money for something that may never be." Noah says of his parents. "They've put a lot of money into it, hundreds of thousands of dollars. I mean, if you want to be good there's no happy medium. Money will be spent."

Noah hopes a long pro career will allow him to pay back his parents for all their financial and personal sacrifices. The junior Wimbledon title was a first installment.

"Both parents, but especially my dad, hid a lot of the negative effects of what my tennis was doing to him,” Noah says. "When I won Wimbledon, my feeling of happiness was more for him than anything else."


The only difference is that Kelly is the first young girl to be raised in this manner so she'll get to reap all the benefits that come from being so far ahead of the competition. It was definitely a sound investment choice by her parents, not many people are trying to produce freestyle female skiers.

Unfortunately it kind of pulls the rug out from under any older girls who thought they might have a shot at making it. She's going to dominate in exactly the same way that Shaun White did for so long, until a new generation of young girls, given the same time investment and resources, can be raised up.

I highly doubt her father tiger parented her. This is a lot of speculation with no real grounds apart from the fact that they're good. I've seen her ski with her dad and I didn't get the whole tiger parent vibe. And she had a comp coming up in a few days as well. Just because someone who is young is good at their respective sport doesn't mean they're parents are pushing them. Especially in freeskiing where there is little money to be had. It's also important to remember that Kelly doesn't even consider herself pro, she sees skiing as a hobby.

What about Aspen Spora? Are his parents exploiting him? What about Tanner Hall when he was young? Shaun White? Skiing isn't a sport I could see a parent pressuring their kid to succeed at. There is literally no money to be had, with no fame or anything.

Her skiing is SO FAR ahead of the vast majority of womens park skiers in thew orld. This is the new talent that will equalize womens skiing so much closer to mens. Excited to see how she develops into her late teens early twenties.

Not even comparable to any other womens runs...especially in the rail section

207I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but whatever I don't even go on here anymore rly. You're probably one of the worst members this site has ever had. You post in EVERY fucking thread and your posts are either two words or stupid claim shit like "competing internationally" that you know in the end will get you made fun of yet you post it anyways. First of all, any experienced gymnast could land a backflip on snow, or at least make a better first attempt than you. One of my best friends' parents own a gymnastics place and he competed for like 12 years, long story short he was throwing backflips on a snowboard before he could really even get down the mountain. If you're a gymnast or aerialist your body understands how to move in the air, plain and simple, and you would have whipped your backie around way faster. I'm pretty sure I'm the same age as you which is ASTONISHING because you literally NEVER get off this website and cause endless drama on this site and then when people start calling you out for it you deflect it and refuse to take responsibility and instead it's whoever called you out's fault.

So yeah, again, I'm sure your squad of 16 year olds will come defending you, and I'm fairly sure I'll get flamed for this/my post deleted, in the end I bet you have good intentions but the way I perceive you on this site is the middle school drama queen. OMG I'M GONNA THROW A BACKIE AT WHISTLER !!! *doesn't do it and gets shit on in an online message board* SCREW YOU GUYS I NEVER SAID I WAS GOING TO DO IT ITS NOT FAIR LETS SEE YOU GUYS DO IT!!!


relax dude she used to be a competitive gymnast but decided to be a competitive eater instead

MinggAnd again, for maybe like the 20th time, I don't know these fucking kids! and I have no idea why so many of them are obsessed with me! But I can't really control that. Literally you got two fucking words out of my whole post and completely derailed the thread. But no you're right, that's my fault.

And I made a thread asking for help doing one... I wasn't the one who made the callout thread and I didn't make any of the 5 other threads posted about it. I got hyped on it and wanted to send one, whats the big fucking deal? I thought that was the whole point of NS, to like ski with people and talk about skiing and help people out? I guess I shouldn't have said anything to begin with. But then people took it too far, like absurdly far, and I got tired of it. I never said anything about it being unfair. I was just trying to get people off my back about it because the amount of bullshit was excessive. And yeah. Sorry that after 5 years of being out of gymnastics I couldn't take it to snow.

I didn't realize I was such a shitty member but thanks for pointing it out. Don't worry, I'll leave the site alone. Sorry for fucking shit up so badly for everyone.


You are literally doing exactly what he was calling you out for..
