you're pretty bad. most people are at least throwing switch cork 10's and dub 12's by the time they're 14.

Dont post on NSers trying to gauge your skiing compared to others. You'll drown in the hate.

Skiing isn't about being the best. It is about having the sexiest style that gets you all the chicks mannnn

Skiing isn't about being the best, and honestly you are in a pretty good spot right now. Skiing is about interpretation and how you do that. Skiing is about feeling free and how you express yourself. I can honestly compare skiing to music, people sing how they feel and how they music should be made, while skiers ski how they think they see skiing and their styles are similar to a style of music. Have fun while you ski, not worry about others. I always try to get better because it is challenging and is super rewarding, but i don't try to get better to look better, i do it to feel good and have fun.

If you want to go pro it all depends on how quickly you're progressing. Like there are kids who are super kid for their age when they're young but then they peak at a young age. There are also kids who aren't very good for their age but then all of the sudden progress super quickly. So I guess just try a lot of tricks. But more importantly, have fun. That's what it's about

Just have fun, progression will come naturally. Hang out with good skiers and you will be pushed by yourself and them. Never forget that we are here to have a good time!

There is no set progression. I know kids who sucked when they were 14, 15, 16 and now they are arguably the best rail skiers at my hill. And it only took then a season.

At the same time, it could also take someone years to learn 360s. It depends on how much you work

spazturkeyUmm I'm 13 and I'm starting to get the hang of lincoln loops and flat spins and I thinking of trying a cork 7. And I've got no idea where I am in the the community. any help?


I know 13 year olds who can hardly slide rails and I know a 13 year old who can dub and will probably triple in the next year or two. Try to focus more on having fun and enjoying your self then one up'ing everybody. Your skill is good im 16 and your probably better at some tricks then me but it doesn't matter.

don't worry about it, you'll soon figure out that its not about the tricks, rather its about how many spliffs can you take to the dome and how many things can you butter.
