i was cleaning out my comp and came across this poem and its pretty good i thought and makes me miss winter
Hucking the meat
Joe Burchard
Hucking our meat
Ripping off threes
Don’t land in the backseat,
You’ll screw up your knees
Poaching trails
Tickets gone
If all else fails
Ski at dawn
Pure pleasure
Wherever you go
The snow measure
You’ll never know
Sun in your face
Music in your ears
You could yell in this place
No one hears
Hitting monstrous air
Landing just right
Not one care
Except the jump that’s tight
Having everyone laugh
As you fall from the sky
Wrecking your calf
Riding away with a black eye
But the eye doesn’t bother you
Because everything else is great
While chuggin’ a mountain dew
And throwin’ away your plate
You could stay here forever
Being perfectly perfect
But that wouldn’t be that cleaver
Because you just got wrecked
A final run down the huge park
Hittin’ the pipe a last time
Nailing the mark
That’s the end of my rhyme

This is one i wrote a couple years ago
'i am a skier' shirt, i wore one day
all the snowboarders laughed and said i was gay
so i cocked my brow and gave them the finger,
they beat my ass and left me to linger.
why is shaun white such a household name,
and guys like tanner are pictured as lame?
is because they are gangster, and like to do drugs,
or is because they are wiggers and dress like thugs?
burton is a name near everyone knows,
but how about armada, or joystick poles.
stacks of transworlds at the front of the rack,
1 or 2 freeskiers lost in the back.
but in a few years just you wait and see,
all the boarders will saving for the new arv

no its just funny how all skiers say they are like "underground" and such,when like 5-10 years ago it was snowboarding that was doing their whole "revolution" its just funny how skiers want to be the dominant force but we all hate on big companies buying into our shit. pretty soon freestyle skiing will be the same as snowboarding is now and something new will come in, im calling snow bikes is it! haha

man i think skiing ha gotten there, we are recognized as a force.....look at how big the market is now.
i remember being 13 on straight skis trying rails and having snowboarders tell me to give up.
then two years later parks were built and twins were comng out. and the canadian guys blew up. but the was so minor compared to snowboarding. we had 2,000 people on this site and i had a website with me and my friends homemade videos. we got posted in Freeze, arvey used to talk to me all the time. midwestrep as well, gene from free ride zone. those were the originals. freeskier was small, freeze was small. it was awesome.....we already are as big as snowboarding. you ask a hick if he knows what freestyle skiing is and he does, johnny moseley's dinner roll. our sport is huge. and i don't get shit from snowboarders now and i have a shitload of skis, skier brand clothing, skier lifestyle clothes to choose.
its amazing what happens in a couple years. i remember going to copper and being one of the only skiers, teaching people how to grind and talking with greg tuffelmire, shit like that, when it was really small and that was less than 10 years ago.....we done blew. thanks kids, its better now.
