So maybe she doesn't have the biggest bag of tricks. But it's big.... for her age... and especially because Kelly is a girl.

She's the best because she's pushing girl's park skiing harder than anyone else I can think of. Yes, age has to do with it. Think about it... when was the last time you were in the park and saw a little kid throwing down harder than you, convincing you to send it? I could be wrong, but I'm sure the girls are watching, and I'm sure it's pushing them to go bigger.

She's also not just skiing around until the comps, and then trying to do well. She actively promotes herself, and look where it's gotten her... k2, Red Bull, Nike 6.0....

I was just talking the other day about how I've never really seen a girl do a blunt 9 that I can think of... Then she releases her season edit from last year.



Best wishes to Kelly for another banger season, can't wait to see what she will accomplish.

can you read? Since you quoted me for emphasis I will also quote me for emphasis

"children should not be drinking that shit"

hence the remark that a 10 year old (whether she drinks it or not) being sponsored by red bull is fucking stupid because its telling other kids to drink red bull (because she's sporting a red bull helmet and drinking out of red bull water bottles at the end of her run). I know its hard to understand.. but I think you are capable.

i disagree, ive never seen a girl look so comfortable on skis. not to take anything away from kaya but her style was very refreshing, and for that and her technicality i think she is the best.

Kelly's "Wanted" reel is an excellent video, really well shot/produced, great music and awesome display of skill.

She just looks so poised and effortless in all her movements, perhaps because she's still rocking that low center of gravity?

If she can stay as smooth (and as others have said, maintain her passion) as she is now when she's taller and able to carry speed like Erica or Maude she's going to be really phenomenal.
