you don't need to have two separate courses on different runs, you can just have two takeoffs on the same landing. same rails and stuff, just a 'womens takeoff' and a 'mens takeoff'

what if a few women competing prefer bigger jumps then, or need them to do certain tricks? why penalize the better skiers for the ones that are worse?

you kids are fucking hopeless.

I don't buy the small jump at top level comps argument for one reason, female aerialists kill it way harder than freeski girls on bigger jumps doing bigger tricks. I'm not saying you can directly compare the two sports, but the fact that women are doing triples on the big ass aerial jumps means that a 70-80 foot jump is by no means too big for female skiers.

Girls just need to train more like athletes if they want to be at the top of the sport. I'm sorry Kristi, but I've seen Maxim or whatever magazine you were in and you have built your body like a model, not an athlete. You had a choice to make and you chose feminine over athletic. This same statement can also be made about a bunch of other girls in freeskiing who claim to want to be great skiers but don't back that up with the necessary work and choices.

The two lip theory is well thought, and has more positive thoughts than negative. Being the speed differencial, the women hitting the smaller jumps would just hav to carry a mop or spatula for added wind resistance.

I was pointing out to the person I quoted that the his reasoning for two separate courses being the only way to have two sets of jumps is non existent. I didn't say that there should be different jumps, or that there shouldn't be. just that he was wrong about there needing to be two separate courses to have two sets of jumps.

please read posts more thoroughly in the future, you seem like an ass.
