I think you've got a problem if you need us to confirm whether you're any good after listing your tricks

Werd man. Way better than I was at 15. Keep going for bigger spins and stay stylie all the while- A sick 180 is better than an ugly 5 any day. And don't listen to these guys who make fun of you for asking- hell, I wouldn't do tricks if I didn't have anyone to show off to ;).

Yeah I just thought it was a weird question to ask. Of course you're pretty good for 15. The majority of people who post like that are just bragging, but it doesn't seem like that.

yea bro, thats pretty respectable for such a young guy to be doing stuff like that. Remember that if you are looking for sponsors and stuff like that, that a deal can pop up out of almost any situation to any person. Keep ripping and people will definitely notice you.

thats decent, I don't understand all of these 13/14/15 year olds who come on here asking how good they are, or if they could be sponsered. I think they are just looking for people to sweat their nuts cause they are young jibbers. I say ski for yourself, have fun, don't worry what other people think, do your own thing

dude, you shouldnt even think about that kind of stuff. i use to last year, i would compare my self to better skiers so therefore i would feel not as good bescasue i wasnt. it would mess up my confidence so i didnt ever really try anything. if you are doing those tricks now you should be able to start doing more technical and bigger things. its a really good start and if you keep progressing you will really good in another season. but it sounds like you are a pretty good skier

Yeah your pretty good...Dont care what others think. It took me forever to get my 360 and jibbing down. In Wisconsin (where I ski) Its all a bunch of snowboarding pricks that dont apprecitate skiers. I kept fallin on the huge rails and kept being made fun of! I just stuck with it, kept my head high and now I beat the shit out of them and stick my ski pole up there ass and wipe it with thier jacket! Just keep at IT!

ski for yourself. whatever makes you feel good, it's good. even if u suck at it, your newschooling and having fun, right? that's the spirit you should be seeking for and not an audience opinion. just have that 'i don't give a shit' attitude and go rip yourself.
