what
The
Fuck

Freeskier.com has a video from the roxy team... are you fucking kidding me. How is she a pro. She absolutley blows at skiing. I saw a straight air... a 360 safety grab the most hucked ugly 7 in the world and thr most wide open alpine BC lines ever with no danger to them at all....
Guys are throwing double corks while 9 yr olds have the same skill level as arguably the most well know female pro out there. its fucking ridiculous and reminds me of symms commentary on the US Freeskiing Open for women.

In EVERY other sport, while women can not compete with men.. they do hold their own. Soccer, softball, even basketball... but in skiing the women are an abomination.

Now let me say there are so killer female skiers out there, you guys know who they are but kristi leskinen and sarah burke... find another job.

Why can't you just be stoked for her? Do you get angry at your friends when they get to do something cool? I think you're just jealous because Burke gets to live the "pro" life; its not like she stole your spot in line to become pro.

I thought the video was good by the way, except for the music, the music was really cheesy.

not that i would expect anything more from somebody riding skis made by quicksilver/roxy, but you don't have to be a dick about it. i already knew this, just watch any women's comps and you'll understand. there is no reason to make a thread about it though.

Soccer, softball, even basketball are completely different sports than skiing.. you are doing nothing more than ranting for a reaction from people on here.. go find something else to do.

and about the whole sponsored thing.. people... ski for fun.. not to get sponsored.. or is it spanserized?

Dude i dont understand where the hate is coming from, i just watched that video and she did a 10 with a fairly nice grab that she held onto...she also dropped cliffs. She is an inspiration to female skiers who want to progress, im a dude and im not sad to say shes a better skier than me

for all of you who care

Guys are throwing double corks, yes guys are, but girls are not. girls and guys are not on the same playing field; as you seem to stupidly think every other sport is. take the best female soccer team and have them play the top male team, the guys will win.

-K for all the hate for a legendarily female skier, and a true OG of the sport, and for being a sexiest retard

people seriously need to shut the fuck up with this "ski for fun" nonsense. everyone is skiing for fun, were not impressed with your carefree approach to it.  just stop.

and getting sponsored is fun too.  so give it up, skiing is fun no matter how you do it.

concurious maximus , that kid is a douchebag sexist.  So what if she's not as good as some of the pro men, she can still shred, and is probably better than you.

lets put it this way... if a girl can hang with the guy skiers, shes probably not exactly gonna be a treat to look at. :) thats not marketable.

well, actually soccer is as much a sport for men as it can be....

and sarah is, ok i dunno about today and i dont want to check out the vid right now, but she was kinda decent back in the day. guys did something like the first nice sw 10s, d-9s, and she did no grabbed switch misty 9s, ok-railslides for that time and also kinda huge 5s and 3s...

but in the end, you cant compare. i mean, you could call women off from track & fields, basketball, swimming and so on, so they are only exercising sports in which theyre up to mens level. i can only think of climbing as a "physical" sport, where they could stay in your terminology.

to be honest, i hope your not believing the stuff you wrote. intolerance for other people in general, and for women in this specific case isnt helping anyone and is making a "better" man out of you.

maybe you were a little sarcastic, but my sarcasm-o-meter showed no signs of it.

Alright,

Hating on the girl is kinda lame. But let's be real. Girls do not throw as big as guys in comps. Guys throw switch double cork 12's. Girls might throw a natural 10 with a pretty shitty grab.

I really don't know how you can say that she slays equal to a Tanner Hall or Simon Dumont, becasue she flat out dosn't. Her banger shot was a ten that she barley grabbed and landed in a wash-out.

If there was a three-jump line and a rail in one of your local comp, you will see the girls division throw 3, 5, and maybe's 7's and nines. Then you might see a 270 or a switch up. The guys, you will see an extreme difference. Even if it's a local competition, the truth is, most guys on this site, who are Average freestyle skiiers (for being male) would make phenominal skiiers if they happen to be born as a women.

I'd just like to point out that the thread creator is being bitched at for "being a sexist" when almost every comment says "she shreds for a girl". That's basically like saying that he's a dumbass for not recognizing her handicap. Personally, I respect Burke but I see no reason why women can't up their game tremendously.

i like people like you, honestly. you can turn a sentence all the way, so it ends up in total agreement with your opinion. thats not easy, but i respect it.

though you just put the sentence "for a girl" as other guys used it to describe a handicap. i would say, as all who used this phrase, that women have an another approach at sports in general and park skiing in specific.

its not a handicap, but proven fact, that women cant keep up with men (in a way that you shouldnt compare them).

i can also point out, that women should step up in skiing. but to be honest, i cant judge it. i dont know how it is to ski as a women, and i dont think you can.

wait wait wait... it was a safety grab on a fucking regular 10. Not switch, every spin was to the left side, her grabs sucked, her lines sucked. HOW CAN ANYONE DEFEND HER?! SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE PRO AND ANY GIVEN KID AT PARK CITY CAN THROW TWICE AS MANY TRICKS AS HER.


OH WAIT but you are all right... its just that im jealous. What the fuck am I jealous about. I like in salt lake city and get to ski the worlds best powder 7 days a week... hm... not so bad if you ask me. You guys defend her because she is hot... which I do not deny, she is really hot, we're talking about her shitty skiing and how she shouldnt be pro and shouldnt represent our sport.

You're an idiot.

She's the first girl to do 1080 in the pipe, first girl to throw cork 12 in a big air (last year WSI).

She wins the biggest events (X-Games, World Championships)

i agree to an extent...

i think she gets so much respect becasue girls like her and kristi were some of the OG female skiers in the game.

now on the other hand...girls like kaya turski should be getting more limelight...she is pretty tech on rails...

There are many adjectives that accurately describe that jump, but 'huge" is not one of them. And I rode the park past it a lot during the spring.

"Aww man your soo right i think you should be pro cause you spotted that about her"

no, maybe that might have been a weak edit for her but watch her in MSP movies and eat your words asshole
