Skiing and Driving

I was just crusin' down the street today, stopped at a store, and had to pull out of a space and noticed that alot of the same ways i drive in reverse I ride switch while skiing.. I guess the point of this is that skiing definitely makes you a better driver. If you are used to riding switch and looking over your shoulder, then those tactics will continue over to things like driving a car. I dunno, I thought it was a pretty cool concept. Especially when you ski you always have to be aware of whats around you at all times, same with driving. But, when i was driving my car 'switch' I noticed I would burry my head to the same shoulder i ride switch in while I ski, and i fucken felt like I was skiing, or maybe I was just to stoned.. haha.. anyways, anyone feel my pain?

do you think that since this generation of children has video games, they are better drivers than the older generations who didn't?

no because in video games you can crash and it doesnt matter.

Kinda related to this, but I think Mountain Biking is really helpful for skiing too. Like, when your flying through the woods on a rocky dirt trail, you have to constantly be watching whats in front of you so that you can react quick enough to avoid the ditches or the rocks. It helps with quick reaction time and also with like visual stuff too

skiing is a lot like driving now that I think about it. There are tons of bad skiiers that do stupid stuff and cut people off and crash all the time. There are tons of bad drivers that do the same things.

Coming Soon...

i dont drive so i can't relate to that feeling. It sounds sort of odd though... you don't normally put skiing and driving together.

me and mountain bikes dont go together, and i think when i drive switch, i look the wrong direction, i look over my right shoulder, this translates into looking over my right shoulder when skiing

If you have a 1380 SAT and a 86.71 GPA... what does everyone say? Not good job, not 'O wow, thats awesome!' No, they say things like 'You are an underachiever'
