so some of us are getting old on this website. im 19, and i dont know how much longer i'll be physically able to do any cool tricks. i want to land another 900 before my skiing career comes to an end. i landed on 4 years ago but havn't tried one since. anyways, my goal is to land one more before i'm done with skiing.

is anybody eles thinking like this?

your only 19 and you are already planning on calling it quits? 19 isnt that old man. alot of the top pros are over 20.

im pretty sure you have another good 7 years of skiing unless a bad injury would occur which would be unfortunate.

Im gona roll in totally decked out in sweet gear, all the kids in the park are all gona ask who this old guy is, then im gona throw down the smoothest cork 7 mute they have ever seen. Then im gona ski away

Tough call I'm 21 and because the jumps at my mountain have gotten smallar over the years (last time I could do a comfy 9 was 3 years ago but they dont make that jump anymore), it would be tough to say (specially with the injury list building), I wanna do switch cork 10 over a huge jump, not here. But if I get that trick down before I quit, I want to go out crazy. I'll go to the wind lip at Whistler/Blackcomb, build a massive hit and try and throw a switch triple cork spin hahaha and if by some miracle I pulled it off I would pay jay-z to follow me around the rest of my life singin big pimpin. And if I bail 99.999999% chance I will, atlest it'll be a few years of hot nurses.

Wow, I hope this thread is a joke.

I know guys who have done double backs on their 40th birthday. Danny Way is getting close to 40 and he does corked flips over massive gaps on a SKATEBOARD. Mike Douglas learned most of his newschool tricks after he turned 30. Ken Bradshaw is almost 50 and tows into Jaws.

You kids are the future, you will be throwing switch cork 10s into your 30's and beyond.
