College Choices? Come to USC and ski Mammoth

So I'm on a mission to collect as many freestyle skiers as I can here at USC - University of Southern California.  If you are unsure of where to go, want to ski every weekend, want a great education, and want to be near the beach and sunshine every day - come to USC.

We sent 3 skiers out to the USCSA College Nationals in Colorado this year and won the overall National Championship - CU Boulder definitely brought the talent and skill but they suffered from a few hurt guys and some falls in halfpipe.

We get a house every year in Mammoth for the duration of the season and arrange carpools every week for Weds-Sunday riding.

I've been putting together videos every week this year which can all be seen on our website - http://www.uscsnowsports.org

Our latest one from this past weekend is pretty nasty - Kangs on the 80-90 footer/10's/sw 10's/etc. 
check it out here -

This year we've just started working on getting some more serious sponsors for the team.  Currently GoPro is sending us cams, which is awesome, and we've just started working on something with FuelTV.  Obviously we aren't the best skiers out there but we're getting full time educations from a top ranked University and getting our stuff out there to a crowd that doesn't usually see this kind of stuff. 

Help support our cause and come to USC if you are a freestyle skier!  If you have any questions email me at abekislevitz@gmail.com

Stay the fuck out the water kooks. I am sure the locals are pumped that some douche nozzle from ohio showed up and paddles out 3 times a week on his fun board. If you have to drive 15 minutes to the beach you shouldn't be surfing.

I'm also pretty sure most people out there aren't close minded dicks like you - and we're not douche nozzles from ohio - the two twins on the team I was talking about that can throw kangs stuff are both sponsored windsurfers from Hood River Oregon.  They surf, kite, and windsurf down here in LA when they're not skiing.. so I'm sorry you apparently aren't able to have a cool balanced lifestyle - but we're making the most of our location and opportunities and not thinking about stupid stereotypes that you seem to want to enforce

haha dude you need to lear to get your facts straight and read a thread..
well let's see USC is PRIVATE. meaning that everyone pays the same price unless you get a scholarship of some sort. not trying to be a dick; it just pisses me off when people make ignorant comments about shit they don't even know about.

Yea I am sure the guy that's lived a block from his home break for his entire life is fully accepting because some guy is a sponsored windsurfer and can huck a kangflip.

The attitude between surfing and other sports is completely different. But you go to USC so it doesn't surprise me that you can't see that differentiation. Stay the fuck out the water, it's already crowded enough.

I didn't really see any progressive rail tricks...there are an infinite amount of kids in summit county with the same skill set that are unsponsored.

You don't really want to live in LA anyway, at least where USC is, isn't really that cool IMO.  UCSD or something would be a way more chill place to lie the SoCal life.

none of us are individually sponsored.  there's a difference between sponsoring an individual and sponsoring a team or organization.

Alright, the point of this thread is not to argue with your close-mindedness.. so I'm not going to keep trying to form responses to your ignorant comments... And yes I go to USC so obviously you already know everything about me and my personality - congrats

yeah clearly, our team is what we're advertising

not trying to make you become an individually sponsored pro or anything, we are just providing a sweet environment to ski as much as you want, get an education, live life in a huge dynamic city, etc.

our team won the national championship at nationals for freestyle skiing

were just letting people know that there are options beyond just boulder/u of utah and skiing all day/smoking weed etc. and not being able to have fun at other things like football games, greek life, hollywood, beach parties, coachella, raves, etc.

Who needs that when all of the students at USC have either nepotism or a trust fund going for them when they graduate?

Yup!  Loving it.

Got around 45 days this season while finishing up a year and a half worth of credits,  not to bad IMO. 

But seriously dude, I really have never seen you post something positive.
