So I would be super shocked if this isn't a thread already but I'm curious why wonens pro park skiing is way less skilled then men's park skiing. I'm not meaning to offend anyone because I know there are tons of girls who could kick my ass in and off the hill. Some girls go hard and are crazy good but it's crazy that the winning run of girls x games had a 7 in it. There's some girl who skis At my local resort and can 360 on a jump and do 270s out and she's sponsored by like 4 company's. Is it how girls body's are? Are girls at a disadvantage when flipping or slidding rails? Has a girl ever done a dub or flipped off a rail? Could someone post that? Is it a fear of getting hurt? There were a bunch of rich skier girls who just stood at the top of the park when I was at ski camp last summer....they just liked the idea of being a park skier but never hit any features. Big waist of money lol.
Girls really should be better at rails. We're generally shorter and our center of gravity is lower which in theory would make it easier to balance. (Read: in every other sport it is easier)
fkna both my girl and i don't get your endless infatuation w pro park skiing and dick n clit measuring anything in skiing
and while i kinda get it she would tell you using skis for anything other to go up or down slopes isn't really skiing at it true heart n soul

The new generation is ridiculous has progressed insanes amount compared to some of the older pros.
Look at Chloe Kim she throws down some crazy pipe runs, Kelly Sildaru is also blowing the competition out of the water. The bar has been set. Wouldn't be surprised to start seeing doubles in every run once that age group matures a bit physically
Mmm love the ski girls at my mountain that are sponsored and travel the world to ski but their runs consist of straight airs and hopping off boxes early
EbolaIs it how girls body's are? Are girls at a disadvantage when flipping or slidding rails? Has a girl ever done a dub or flipped off a rail? Could someone post that? Is it a fear of getting hurt?
Yes. They primarily progress at a decreased rate due in fact to their vaginal cavity. This open cavity allows air flow in and out thus creating cross winds inside the ovaries. These cross winds throw off the womens center of gravity and this is why they cannot perform spins above 360s. IF you see footage of a woman doing a 540 or more it has obviously been fake and illuminati confirmed. Now on the topic of women bodies, the supple breasts also dont allow for proper SENDING capabilities. Boobies, as they are commonly known as, act as a milk backpack and therefore weigh down the chest of the female. Imagine wearing a fanny pack around your chest all the time and that fanny pack is filled with 14 gallons of pure molly milk. This is why women can't huck it. Trust me I am a doctor.
It has nothing to do with guys being better than girls in my opinion. Freeskiing is a primarily male sport, and for a long time it's been just guys. Girls doing it has come around more recently, so they've had less time to progress. That and some girls don't really wanna do it because they feel pressured by society to do "girly" stuff and the frescoing culture can be sexist sometimes.

But we all just suck so there's that.
And we don't have balls, so no excuses! More women urban skiers please!
Queen_SelassieAnd we don't have balls, so no excuses! More women urban skiers please!
haha tru! I'd do it if i was good enough but I sucks sooo haha.
But I did see a video on here the other day, like an old old video of some girl hitting urban and I thought that was super cool. We need more of that !
Its because all the elite female athletes are doing something else. Free skiing has only been a semi legitimate sport for like nooot that long. And there's still no money in it or support for training and teams. You think Lyndsey Vonn could win world cup events with half a knee but is just flat out incapable of learning doubles on a water ramp?

Lmao so there is some truth to the saying "built for speed" not just to make us feel better about our small boobs hahaha

Girls like Tiril, Kelly, Johanne and Giulia are pushing the envelope whereas others like Kaya, Lisa stagnate or go reverse.
Men on average are stronger, have a higher pain tolerance and generally bigger "balls". whether it is due to testosterone or something else thats just the way it is. Not to say girls can do it, but physically men and women are just built differently for doing different things (back to the hunter gatherer tribes) maybe in a few hundred years humans will evolve and become closer and closer together as the need for some primitive skills are now obselete.
I'll be honest, sometimes being a female skier is shit. The female to male ratio in the freestyle community is outrageously depressing. So of course it will be harder for the female's side of the sport to progress as fast as the male's side is. Yet I know this is not the only reason... I started skiing park the same year as many of my guy friends, but they have progressed way beyond me. Part of me feels like it's because I'm a weak bitch and another part knows it's because I can be a puss. I'll try a new trick for every ten they try.
Basically I think it's retarded to give girls special treatment like "oh its fine that you can only _____ because you are a girl". Just need some supportive homies to peer pressure chicks into trying new shit and thats what can help progress the sport.

I skied with this girl (who was ridiculous btw)this summer and within a week I had learned close to 10 new tricks without really trying to progress. Like progression was not on my to do list if that makes any sense. We just skied, and it happened. I honestly don't know how I did it because I suck so bad at skiing, but it happened
I'll probably take heat for saying this, but I've had this conversation multiple times and the same thing always comes up.. so I'm just gonna put it out there. It's probably a bad, politically incorrect or whatever you want to call it way of thinking but fuck it. When I see a guy throw down, I have come to expect it in a way. But when I see a girl throw down (first off I am shocked btw) I'm like well shit if she can do it, why can't I? Which is just more motivation I guess. So having people like that to ride with is 10/10. Which is why it would be neat to get more girls into it. The more the merrier.
went skiing with a girl recently who is a very good skier. Good form, brave, familiar with the mountain; the whole nine. But i noticed that she just took a lot less risk than I did and my other guy friends we were with. Men are just more athletic, and I really think that men having stronger knees helps us a great deal.

Yup no balls. So maybe girls progress slower because we're not as fearless or maybe we're just smart and won't try anything that we think will totally break our shit and ruin the rest of the season. Men do naturally have a stronger build and build muscle easier and faster than women. Took me a couple months to get my knees strong enough to catch big air without them buckling on me and still I think they need to be stronger so that's my workout motivation for the summer so I can have a better season next year!!
Women are intelligent and have a sense of protection.
Men are dumb and smash their bodies on rails and throw themselves on 100 ft jumps while performing inverted acrobatics.
That's natural selection.
I think back in the day when park became big and mountains really embraced making set ups, it was male dominated bc girls didn't want to do that stuff. I think chicks, in general possibly, didn't start hitting park until they got a little older, like 17-20 if I were to guess.
first time I did park I was probably 14 and got laughed at so hard every run and I despised it sooo much. like high key, boys were mean lol made me wanna quit all the time. so I would only hit the park on off days when it was empty or if I was one of 5 riders in the park. it was like being ousted. I didn't actually make park friends (outside of my normal ski friends) until my first comp when I was 17 or so... and only then did I begin to progress substantially bc no one laughed anymore, but supported instead.
luckily I think we've all seen support of womens park growing and honestly that's the only way we're gonna get close to going bigger than 7s and trying doubles lol

I think this might have a lot to do with it. In general we tend to be idiots with risk blindness haha

I was told once it's because of adrenaline. That women's bodies shut down from too much, or somethin like that..we all know men love the adrenaline..
I'd believe they are more calculated and won't go for a trick without being pretty sure they'll make it. Whereas guys will just 'see what happens' if they've got an idea.
Correct me if I sound like a jackass

The adrenaline part definitely isn't true haha. I know I'm not the only girl who enjoys doing things that scare me. Where did you hear that from? In terms of the "more calculated" I could see that being true though. I feel to many girls think of what will go wrong verse what will go right if you're confident. This isn't true in all cases but as someone else mentioned above if a girl gets hurt shes probably call it a day and if a guy gets wrecked he will most likely keep skiing all day.

I've found that adrenaline doesn't help me much in park. I don't know if you'd consider it shutting down, but I sort of like get into a go with the flow kind of state.
Adrenaline helps me a lot in side country and on big mountain things. I go faster and ski harder. When I get nervous in powder I tend to speed up where as when I get nervous in park I slow down and freak myself out. So yeah I can definitely see what you mean with that.
MinggI've found that adrenaline doesn't help me much in park.
Adrenaline is everything for me to learn anything I need a ton of it, caffeine, good music and a friend to push me because i am a pussy. Im sure any girl could kick my ass skiing park but its just because chicks don't have as much body strength as men do in general. Thats why the 1999 xgames womens slope was won by making a turkey cheese in mid air.
Queen_SelassieThe adrenaline part definitely isn't true haha. I know I'm not the only girl who enjoys doing things that scare me. Where did you hear that from?
From an ex, a snowboard instructor and park rider.
She said too much adrenaline will actually make girls nauseous
