hey everybody, i'm new here. i skied until i was 9 then switched to snowboarding and have been doing that since, i'm 17 now. i went to park city for spring break this year and really got interested in freestyle skiing after watching all those skiers. In virginia theres almost no freestyle skiers. and i decided i wanted to try skiing again. so i'm lookin for some rossignol scratches. i hope i can pick it up again easily and hit the park. it should be used to it from snowboarding, i can do 5s so i'll just get used to the skis and try some stuff. so if you guys have any advise or anything, it would help. thanks.

congrats for switching... scratches were/are my first twins. They're great for everything and they're cheap, good choice

my friend tried to learn how to jump before he knew how to ski, the dumbass went balls to the walls, hit a 30 foot table-huge for a newb-and his skis popped off at the lip and he went flying and then took a nap

and they say skiing isnt marketable, this is not the first person i have heard that cahnged to snowboarding and is now changing back, my snowboard friends say skiing is sick and they would love to be good at it. i think the just pure sickness markets itself.

ive got another version of the pole dangle, its pretty funny too, gets cold when i do it on the lift tho.

yeah i think snowboarding is becoming too popular. like when i started it was sweet back in '98 because nobody did it, but now in Virginia there's no freestyle skiers and all these noobs on snowboards.

its leik the reverse trend setters in the 80's, since snowboarding is the "cool" thing to do now, our select group has defied the monster and gone with a more cool (in our oppinion) sport, that nobody does, and made it the new cool thing that ppl wish they did

the funny thing is that both sports are the SAME!
any great skier can learn to board in a few minutes and any great boarder can learn to ski in a few minutes...

i think people who feel rivarly between boarder and skiers are clueless...this especially applies to snowboarders who look at skier like a frat boy scoping out some nerd.
