Anyone Race?

I was a ski racer in the Eastern Townships (on a quebec zone team) for 4 years, and I was just curious if there's anyone here on NS that is, or used to be on a racing team.

I find being on that team gave me great technique and kind of a fearless feeling about skiing, and that's pretty much why I became an NS skier.

How'd you guys get into NS skiing?




I said get behind me.

and before people bash racing, remember just how many pros are ex-racers...

Im sure there are TONS of guys on here with racing backgrounds.

I saw the movie 13 in a ski shop, and was like WTF? sweet. i didn't end up buying a pair of orignial k2 enemies, with the pro-usa flag style on the bottom, until a few season after, when i could ski a little better, and Now i fucking rip!! i wish....

How can people bash racing... it's so much fun! And it seriously gives you the proper technique and the right mindset to carry over into NS skiing.

And Agreed... People, like the others said, don't start bashing racing. I was just curious how many of ya's are/were racers.




I said get behind me.

a friend of mine who was a racer said she didn't have fun racing, but it was fun winning...so is that what you meant when you say it's so much fun? or do you enjoy actually racing regardless of outcome

during a race they had at my mountain last year, like half the racers were hauling around on twintips before the racing started. i know a racer who kills it at freestyle too

I have been racing since I was 4 years old and I just recently dropped it this year cause I wanted to spend more time progressing at NS skiing.
AND DON'T EVEN get me started on the insane speed of progression if you have been racing for a long long time.

I used to race out of Owls Head, but I stopped cause I never had that competitive mindset, or the desire to do it. It was fun for a little while, but in the end i preferred freeskiing.

I dont think racing gives you the RIGHT technique, cause you look at some big mountain guys that have never raced before, and you cant say that theyre doing it wrong, its just a different style. Racing does give you GOOD technique though, and i find that ex-racers tend to be very well rounded skiers once they actually drag their ass outta the course. They adapt very well.

i race but not hardcore, were i am if you can ski doing parallel turns your going to go real far in the local comps haha, oh well i screwed up though, i went first and was trying to look stylie and relaxed, and being aggressive certainly helps your time...
+ time of school to go and you get to go skiing with friends in other places, we got to the south islands it was like a holiday

Yeah I had a zuit-suit (spandex suit) but I never used it in anything but important races cause it looked really gay and it causes some insane discomfort in the 'forbidden zone'.

i liked racing..........when i was 10

KNUCK IF YOU BUCK BOY

The Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth, The Wayne Gretzky of Newschoolers.com idiots needs no introduction.... but here\\\'s one anyways. John Andrew Steward, a rich kid from Georgia, will not hesitate for a moment to tell you exactly what he\\\'s thinking (and I use that term loosely). His over 2000 posts make him one of the most prolific retards on our list, and he\\\'s become something of a legend on this website, representing the ever-growing intellectually devoid section of the membership here at NS.com. In fact, when the Golden Wheelchair award was first conceived, there was some talk of naming it after him, as a dedication. Also among his qualifications are his being named so often to Crystal-Needs-A-Park\\\'s honorary hall of fame for stupid posts, that the proprietor was forced to abandon the project: Atlantaski simply flooded it too quickly. Further, he had more entries into the original Hall of Fame for Stupid Posts than any other member of Newschoolers.com. Though he went into temporary retirement a few months ago, he has recently returned with a vengeance and, far from missing a beat, has stepped his stupidity up to new heights, recently capturing a GW award for mocking Trevor Peterson. He is fully deserving of his place near the top of this list
