Another reason why women's sports are sad, i know little kids who can do switch 10s, men have been doing switch 10s since 2000. sigh.

Yes, I did. So is there any chance this thread will not turn into a "womens' equality thread".

i'd be pissed if they got this whole comp set up with this perfect jump and the girls weren't even throwing switch tens. if i was a sponsor paying for this comp, travel budgets, building the features etc, i'd at least expect to see some marketable tricks like dubs and steezy shit, but i guess a switch 10 is a start its only like 10 years behind male skiing

Keep in mind that these girls DON"T HAVE BALLS, so don't compare them to men. I think its pretty sick that they are finally throwing down.

I like the women's picture more because you can see the edges better, but the mens is definatly a sicker setup in terms of size.

being stoked is key, main reason why i ski. i am not a pro or anything but being stoked (is greater than) progression for the sake of progression. (in my opinion)

"There was nothing smaller than a 720 today. It was insane," said Ashley Battersby, who finished sixth after stomping a switch 9 for the first time and nearly landing a switch 10. "I think it's huge for us because we've been fighting for equality for a very long time."

sigh...

fighting for equality? try something that isn't 12 years behind the scene.

nothing smaller than a 7? congrats, i got 7's on lock and a bag of corks. does that mean i should be sponsored and paid to travel the world and ski for free? equality? you want it? you wouldn't be sponsored and couldn't place in the amateur division of a single comp at my local mountain, rails or jumps.

Hahahahhaha can't believe she said that (well, actually I'm not surprised at all), they still aren't equal.

You don't fight for equality, you earn it.

aah. that quote was painful to read.

e·qual·i·ty
[ih-kwol-i-tee] Show IPA
–noun, plural -ties.
1.
the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank, or ability.

You keep using that word...I do not think it means what you think it means...

+k for getting that reference

lets just say if a girl stomps a sw 10 i'm pumped for her. if she claims that she wants to be considered equal with the guys, i just don't understand that. If you want to be considered equal, enter the mens comps. just saying though, a sw 10 would have probably come 4th or 5th in the amateur division at my local mountains big air.

this. not podiuming in one of the biggest contests of the year.
know your place. not gender-wise, but as a skier. stay humble, because your not entitled to anything just because your a girl.

I am 110% convinced there isn't one guy in this thread who would want his already bitchin hot girlfriend to slay him in the park. How awkward would that be? I like that guys are better than me, and personally I wouldn't have it any other way. You're all smelly, hairy, and dirty. You've got to have SOMETHING going for you... ;-)

One another note, fuck yeah ladies!!! So stoked for you girls, killing it!!!

Really? It drives my boyfriend CRAZY! Haha. Maybe he doesn't appreciate me enough. SOOOO BREAKING UP WITH HIM! =p

But yeah, I don't really like that he's not better than me. We rode with my ex the other day (whom we're both mutual friends with) and he could tell how much I loved how good my ex is.

I love watching you boys and how good your are and watching your do all that scary dangerous stuff. It's sexy and I like that you guys can show me how to do stuff and give me pointers and look like you have balls. I don't mind the talent difference and I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about it.

Each to their own I guess.

I bet I'm better at being pregnant so kiss my ass. :D

Ha, I'm friends with a couple girls who are from the East coast and are better at park then me. There's this girl I always see at Keystone who slays the park (never seen her outside of it though) and seeing her always gives me a raging clue.
