Ignorant Parents

I am fortunate to have parents that support me in my skiing, but it can be pretty annoying when they restrict me from doing a lot of things associated with freeskiing (ex. cutting down poles). I'm stoked to have chill parents, but i was just wondering if anyone else deals with this?

None of you probably care, but i just thought id give this an update. My dad is being super chill lately, and he's told me to go ahead and cut my poles. In addition we built a box together over the weekend and hes become really interested in freeskiing and my progress. Now I just need to ride this wave into the summer so i can get a summer setup

That's awesome. The wave should last, because we all know freeskiing is an addicting sport. You've got him hooked!!

No, you need to get your dad to start jibbing the box. get him hooked and then you guys can go out and hit urban together.

If only that were possible. My goal is just to have him hit a little side jump or something by the end of the season, but he just wants to go fast.

If I have sons, I'm putting them in tall-T's when they're kids so they don't know different. Hahaha
