Haven't been in the loop on here for the last couple years, but there's a word I'm looking for. Didn't the word kang used to refer to someone that was clearly a racer, and who's racing background influenced their awkward park style?

never heard it used like that. kang on here means either kangaroo flip which is a double flatspin (usually 900) or a liu kang, where you grab safety on one ski and kick out the other ski...was popular around 2001, and has been popular in a tongue-in-cheek way a lot of times since then

No.

P.S. A racing background usually means you're a better skier, in the park and elsewhere.

This has been bugging me so much because I knew kang was used somewhere. I don't think kang is used in the way that ur thinking. There might be another word for it... but Liu Kangs was what I was thinking when I first saw this thread. I just couldn't place it till I saw this edit.
