im not going to lie id love to stay 16 forever but the truth is i wont. so how long do all of you think you will be newschooling for?
i mean we arent going to be sliding rails and hucking off tables when we are like 50. so my question is at what age do you think you will stop doing all of it?

I'm gonna shred to the day I die.
I worked on a mountain, work-week at school in the winter, and the guy in the cablecar we took everyday up to the snow is 66 years and last year he pulled a backflip on a 7-8 meter jump, and he smokes a s hell. Then when he tried a 2nd backflip he took the wrong jump and broke his back. Bu heæs still skiing and working.

most people are in their prime until their early 30s. My dad's 50 and he's on nordica's freeride team. He still competes all the time. I plan to ski hard until it's physically impossible.

I am 30 going on 31 and just started newschooling a year and a bit ago. As you get older, you tend to take less risk and don't quite recover from injuries as fast but you can still keep hitting the park and have fun.

One more thing though. I went to HN for the past two years and, at the age of 30 and holding down a job as an investment banker, I took a LOT of teasing about going to "ski camp" from my colleagues. I must look even older to the kids in the camp as one of the girls told me I was the "coolest 34 year old she has met." Maybe I am having a mid life crisis, I did just buy a longboard skateboard and I never was even on a skateboard before high north this year...

i dont know i think ill be skiing for a long time. my dad who is like 45 still hits small 15 foot tables and i taught my mom boxes last year cause she didnt get what was so fun about them.  So to me doesnt seem like theres really an end i probly just wont charge as hard as i do now but ill still always freeski.

I think once I move out west and I get older like 30's, it will start to phase out slowly. i will want to ski powder more than park.

I've been moving away from park stuff and a lot more into big mountain. I used to be way into jumping, but now I have a lot more fun straightlining stuff and hucking cliffs.

good call on the blunts, but on occasion they are good.
I say as long as your not the old dude riding half way up the hips and jumping out to flat, you're still cool! that shit is sooo gay. no offence to the gays.
