That would give such little advantage to the user, that it's completely pointless.

no, not in freestyle at least, it just wouldn't help at all - if anything it'd make it harder to do tricks. Plus, everyone smokes instead, why would they do 'roids?

alaskakid, not entirely true. their are roids for endurance and more power/ enrgy, which is wat u want wen ur in a 3 hour comp with dumont, walisch, and harlout, for example.

it wouldnt help you in park skiing, but they could help you if your a racer. could make your legs bigger and stronger so u can stay in you tuck longer.

Its not skiing but there was this thing at my friends swim competition and the kids would do something that would get there adrenaline pumping and take some blood. Then about 10 minutes before the race they would shoot it back up and the adrenaline hits you really hard and they whooped they cant track it in tests because its just your own blood but they were caught and had to pay big fines to the league for juicing and then were kicked out hahahaha

If you need steriods to "endure" a comp, which does NOT consist of 3 hours of any sort of movement, then your a pussy.

i doubt it's a common as it was/is in baseball, but i wouldn't be the least bit shocked to learn that some athletes either have in the past, or are currently. i've had a fair amount of exposure to them (being around them) and you'd be surprised at what knd of people take them. men and women. young and old. blue collar and white color. in the nd everyone wants to be more fit as easily as possible.

there are a bunch of racers who are multi-season athletes and bring it in from like lax or baseball, but most serious alpine and nordics are the healthiest people youve ever met

What!!!?? Racing and nordic skiing are propably some of the two sports in the world where roids and other performance enhancing drugs are mostly used. Racers take roids to build up muscle, because turning and staying in a tuck doing 80 mph require almost unnatural performance from your body. Nordic guys use stuff such as EPO and blood doping, well, because they wanna keep going for hours.

I think it was Bode Miller who once said that he thought roids should be legal in racing, because it's such a dangerous sport, and that it would improve athletes safety.

I dont think it's being used, but for big mountain skiing roids could definately benefit you, bigger muscles would for sure help you out there.

It's basically naive to say that roids couldn't benefit you in freestyle either. Roids are oftened used by people who just lack that last bit of natural ability/talent, so if you were just below pro level and wanted to break through, roids could be a way to help you achieve that, at least in my opinion.

I don't think that roids are common or largely used in freeskiing, but anyone who says they wouldn't improve performance is an idiot. All of the guys who dominate the sport, Tanner, TJ, Colby, etc work out every day. You need to have incredible strength to ski at such a high level and steroids are just another way to get that strength.

personally, i dont think that they r used in freestyle skiing right now.however, both the skill level and the profit of this sport is progressing every day. because of this, people will have to step up there game to stay in the chase. it would be a horrible thing for the sport, but steroids may come into play. its getting to be a very big, very competitive buisness.

Yes. Steroids would absolutely help, it's crazy to say they wouldn't. I doubt they are, but they absolutely would help.

what roids do is help the body recover more quickly from workouts, usually by increasing testosterone levels, and protein synthesis. think about how many times you've taken a jump too deep and had to bail because of compression? you could stomp the piss out of it if you had roided out legs. same with, the bc, you can go bigger. And roids don't decrease flexibility, its the unecessary amount of muscle mas that some people choose to put on. also roids would help a ton when recovering from every little ding, and small injury that pros get during the season. Also steroids can help make you feel invincible, which translates into no fear trying new tricks, and with added muscle mass, you get injured less.

lastly, the most beneficial PED would be HGH. there is a reason Bonds liked it: because it increases strength, and increases your recovery 10x, and helps your overall well being.

Steroid would help soooooo much, but they are expensive, and most pro skiers are just scrapping by. And HGH is close to $3000 for one month, so that rules out everyone except the top pros.

Bottom line is roids will make you a better skier.

Agreed, plus you gotta have the skill. Roids aren't going to give you skill. This is all dumb anyway, because you would have to be a retard to take roids in the first place.

no unless more money is in the sport. right now, there isn't enough money in the sport to warrant cheating, unless some uber competative skier comes in. right now most people who freeski, do so because they are'nt the most competive, and just like the sport.

You would be shocked if you saw some of the best freeskiers in the sport without their gear on. skiing park does not take much body mass. It can help to be strong, but it's certainly not necessary.

huge misconception.

if you're a skier and take roids then start doing power-lifting then maybe.... but if you stick to your usual workout which i assume would involve core strength, balance, flexibility and plyometrics then it shouldn't be an issue.
