End sexism in contests

I had a great idea just now. Girls and guys skiing has been seperated in terms of skill for a long time. Something needs to be done to get it on the right track! Soooooooooo, END THE SEXISM! Instead of X-games girls and guys events, lets combine em! That way, for like, superpipe, no more girls and guys events, just one big ski superpipe event.

Obviously, the girls arent goingto be going as high or doing as great tricks, so something like a handicap would be imposed on the guys so that the girls have a real chance against Tanner. But wouldnt that be cool?!?! A girl could beat out Dumont for the overall pipe contest and we could show the rest of the world that our sport is the lone one where gender doesnt make a difference!

okay, now i'm positive you're a troll.

the only unfair thing about skiing right now is that women are getting sponsored and rewarded, for the same shit 12 year old boys are throwing down for nothing but the fun of it.

i have an idea, how bout you girls start progressing in your own competitions and when you start doing doubles out of the pipe you can come hang with us. than there wold be no need for a handycap which would fuck up the whole judging system.

lets be honest though, there aren't many that can throw doubles out of a pipe.

since so many people are against it maybe the women could compete with the blist of pro men? that way there is still the so called 'real' competition in the mens

If a chick wanted to compete in a mens competition, I'd bet the comp would let it happen, so long as she could be graded the same as the men. If you want to compete in a mens comp, try it. But don't be surprised if you don't win anything.

there relay isn't a B list. and as someone said a few posts above me if a woman wanted to compete in one with the men, theres nothing stopping them. i just think a handycap will literally fuck up the whole sport.

B list of pro men?

girl, for a woman to win anything, she'd have to be competing against amateur little boys. little boys like 5 year old leland here:

handicaps for women are stupid
thats the last thing they need, if they have a handicap then they dont need to try as hard to win. you said you wanted no sexism right??? GIVING WOMEN HANDICAPS TO COMPETE WITH MEN IS SEXIST

haha next year that kid could probably win half of womens competitions.. Many of the womens competitions end up with no pop 360's and many times 270s off a 15 foot jump.. hence why we got rid of that category..

and I couldnt even listen to the music on that video, cant stand girl singers either..

what a stupid thing to say. the reason skiing is fair now is because there are 2 categories.
your being a typical women and being a bitchy feminist

sure, whatever - put the girls with the guys in the competition... it will destroy competitive skiing on the girl side of things. but if that's what you really want - it will mean more prize money for the skier dude that wins.

you don't like winning money for doing 540's and would rather come in dead last? ok. have fun.


and shit - give me a big enough handicap in golf and I could kick that shit out of Tiger Woods, but you know - that wouldn't make any sense, a lot like this thread.

good laugh though. an uneasy, angry laugh, but still a laugh.

Sounds to me like you think that girls and guys should be combined in the x games. Since the girls cant do as good of tricks you would give them a handicap so they could compete against guys like tanner and simon. you think its sexist.

thats just what is sounds like to me though

hahaha so true.

really though. women are more than welcome to compete against guys. we would just get killed by the competition.  i think it would be legitimate to say that some great women skiers would be pretty unknown if this was the only way for us to compete.  and please don't tell me that you think lack of competition is why girls haven't progressed as fast.  we should be happy that we have our own comps and that girls are starting to throw down harder; it at least gives women a chance.

and why the hell would you want to "handicap" the world's greatest freeskiers. nothing would progress.

but good try.

Makes you wonder who the Ftards were who thought up Title Nine and the bazillions spent on womens sports - when all it would have taken is a simple handicap system.  I would support co-ed wrestling and maybe a handicap when the chick weighs less than 300lbs.

props to ko. and seemeski.

utah girls know what's up.

if you wanted to end sexism in contests, then it would just mean that no girls would ever make it past qualifying rounds, until one of them steps it up.

adding a handicap would keep it sexist, just in a different way. on top of that, it would make it less likely that people would watch, bringing in less money, taking away from the possibility for prize money.

Well legitamately I know a girl that is 13 and she could give a guy a run for their money.... She can d0 cork 10's and double frontflips..... THIS IS WHY GIRLS SKIING IS A JOKE!!! When a 13 year old girl can be better then the best womens freeskiing star. She has the same ski sponsor too.

Holy balls.
That just would never work, no offense girl. Like people have said previously..there's a reason there are separate leagues and whatnot in different sports. We're just different. Yeah don't get me wrong it's AWESOME to be able to shred with guys on a normal basis to progress and whatnot..but in a comp it just wouldn't work..plus I think girls enjoy competing against other girls. I dunno. I would hate to have to compete against guys. Then again, I'm not a feminist haha.

P.S. If you're sensitive, I doubt you'll last long here. Don't take NS seriously. Especially when people are clearly joking about something..

I'm glad you paid such close attention to my run. Because i'm pretty sure i hit all the rails, the first jump and the last one in my runs. I did a switch 1 over the first one, not a 180 of the knuckle. And i hit the last jump every run all day. So please stop hating and get yer facts straight.

I dont see it as sexism...girls compete at a different level so far..and until girls go 30 feet or whatever it isin the pipe it just wouldnt be fun to watch it combined..

just my take. i dont think having it separated is sexist but who knows..just my opinion

Haha oh my god this thread delivers. Ever since I posted before I've been waiting for her to call "April Fools", yet it just keeps going. Seriously, it's April 2, so either she's a retard and doesn't know when to let it die, or she's a retard who is just, well... retarded. I can't even put it in words really. Or maybe it's just a troll trying to cause shit.

I will continue to wait...

no offence, but a switch 1 compared to  a switch cork 9 or 10 still doesnt deserve half  of what these guys are making. that 5 year old kid on the page back or so rips for 5 i cant ev  nget my bro to stand up on skis. (to thread creater)  but if i a girl wants to go out and compete against guys like tanner and simon and colby  go right ahead you get yor ass kicked when there is a divison for you to have somewhat a chance to make a name for themelves in this sport.
