Replying to Why does women's freeskiing suck?
As someone who's pretty new this sport, I've quickly noticed how less evolved women's freeskiing is compared to mens. I mean I think there will always be a gap in most sports between the Women's side vs. the Men's, but just looking at women's and men's snowboarding, it's not that different. Granted freeskiing came a bit later than snowboarding, but what's the deal with Women's freeskiing today? It seems like a girl can just throw an upright 7 in competition, while men are throwing any dub imaginable. To be honest it's embarrassing to me as a woman. I feel like I'll never be able to be taken seriously as a professional athlete. Why do you guys think women's freeskiing is so less progressed than men's? And how as an individual can I try to close this ability gap?
