"Are you a snowboarder?"
"No I ski."
"Skiing sucks!" or, "Well you look like a snowboarder!"

once some lady came up and asked if they were for learning how to ski, becasue you could ski backwards, and she was intent on her husband believe her until they witnessed my radness over the 55 footer. landing backwards takes tips on the tails, if you know what I mean.

after the x games kids at my school acted like they knew every thing about skiing. I would get "Did you see that one guy that did a reverse double backflip"

today it happened again. i was talking to my aunt and i said its finally snowing, she say:
"yeah, good for you, now you can snowboard"
me:"i ski"
Aunt "so u've finished snowboarding?"
me: "i have never snowboarded, i've only skied"
aunt:"........oh"

and i told her multiple times that i skied. i talked about sliding rails and stuff and even showed her a little video we made of skiing, and still thought it was me snowboarding and not skiing.

They ask you that becuase backflips are kickass. In Utah everybody pretty much knows something about skiing nobody asks things like that on the hill unless its a tourist from wherever you people are from.

haha pretty funny story....in my math class this kid brandon lewis just got back from competing in colorado and some nerdy kid (tweed for those who go to phs) made up a problem about percentages and shit like that:

if brandon stomps 80% of his backflips then what are the odds of him landing his next 5 out of 6....i had to surpress laughter

i skied switch past this telemarker, he's like "wrong direction"
so i waited for him to pass me, and then i cut in front of him and leaned forwards on my sticks to give him the rooster-tail barrage. he tried to chase me. it wasn't that intense... i hit every rail in the park while he was gunnin' it.
