Peace
I'm a let you know what I think, yes I do know I will not win X-games or any other comps without throwing a double cork and I am fine with it at the moment, until I am not. These X-games was not my best performance, wasn't my day, happens.
The role I am playing in competition right now is showing all y'all how different lines can be taken and showing the possibility that you don't have to throw double flips to make it up with the best "comp skier" of our sport. Every comp this year so far I have been taking different lines (as possible as it can be done in my head) that none others have been taking and this is why I chose freeskiing, freedom to express myself and be unique.
My goal in skiing is to try to create a payful outlet to people that are concentrating on filming video segments and webisodes, that are pushing the sport and putting as much efforts as any of the "comp cats" but that are not nearly as recognized by sponsors, such as Nimbus, TC crew, C.A.S.G, GSL, Ahmet, Hornbeck, Delorme, Downey and Wiley for a couple exemples (much more). This way we can have more people doing their thing and not focusing on having to do certain tricks to get recognition and results and it will make our sport grow that much more… but I can't do that without money and I can't make enough money without competitions at the moment so I do my best to maintain in both.
My vision of park skiing (and bc when i have the occasion and right skillz) is just like skateboarding is in a concrete skatepark, matching tranny's, flowing lines, doing tricks, and shit is the most fun for me at the moment… i know keystone has that kinda park right now and probably other mountains as well where you can make everything match together from side to side, front to back, without stopping.
This is my vision, not yours, so you can agree or disagree but whateva man… stoked on skiing!
Inspired!
