CantThinkOfaNameWow can’t wait to see him win x games!
ScootSkiLyfeBest skier doesn't mean he's got 100K of daddy's money to fork over to get into today's comp world lol
nmwninjartI knew who you were talking about before I clicked on the title.
That's epic. Does he live in a cabin?
ScootSkiLyfeHe lives in a little shack he built on his parents land, wood burning stove and a bed in there he showed me a pic once.

olddirtyI can smell him from here
ScootSkiLyfeHahaha true
Vish-shoeNot even the best skier at spirit rn. Doca can hang with karsteder in comps and he’s in 6th grade
ScootSkiLyfeThis guy loves comps
Vish-shoeYour favorite skiers used to be comp skiers
ScootSkiLyfeLemme get uhhhh USASA TikTok sandwich please with a little 4 on continuing 4 on the side
Vish-shoeI don’t keep up much with what skiers are popular right now, but all I know Cal Carson used to be a USASA kid
Farmville42099% of CL was comp kids. 100% of Stept was comp kids. 4bi9 was majorly comp kids. Very few of peoples favorites skiers were not comp kids.
The only pro I know who actually did it 100% on his own was zahner. There might be others but that’s the only one I can say with certainty, I also wanna say Meeks did it on his own as well
ScootSkiLyfeYeah man and I have no problem with any of these guys or any people currently competing in free skiing. More power to them honestly and it's really the only place to "make it" professionally other than filming parts which is kind of dying so it makes sense.
It's just the barrier of entry for people without the resources money and time that is upsetting.
The money side of skiing and how so much of skiing can be about profit and imagery is tough
CoolChillGuy420The best skiers live with their parents or used too.

olddirty0 respect for spoiled academy kids
Vish-shoeYou motherfuckers can’t comprehend someone getting good at skiing by themselves. Votaw did it, this kids doing it. He’s not an academy kid, just someone who skis all the time.
Give this kid 5 years and he will be changing the game, whatever he decides to do.

JemsI don't think we will see doca doing any tricks remotely like faelans crazy and unique bag of tricks
Farmville420Hating on a 6th grader? Come on man you’re better than this

Jemsconsidering this kid only does lots of swaps and big spins do you really think he will be doing anything like faelan? no he's gonna keep spinning big. Not even hating its just stating the truth. have you ever seen faelan ski?
Farmville420I do tbh. Creativity, style and trick selection are all things that come with age and experience. Pull up vids of Faelan when he was 13, I bet it’s also a bunch of techy rail tricks with hella spins and swaps.
I don’t know a single teenager who has a tasteful bag of tricks
JemsYou're not totally wrong but come to hyland or virtually any Minnesota hill if you want to see teenagers doing unique tricks. I just can't see this kid doing anything else but big spins he totally seems to be on that trajectory.
Vish-shoeNah that’s just not true.
I’m at hyland every day and I see nothing out of the ordinary. A lot of front swaps and fours. The creative stuff is coming from the older guys who have it figured out. I would like you to send a clip of a high schooler at hyland doing something “creative”
