the rocky mountain free riders is chill, its like skiing for yourself, except with people better than you at everything coaching whatever you feel like doing.
mike- Shit, is that a cop?
Me- Nope
Mike- I swear its a cop, I can see her pants!
Adrian- You dumbass, most people wear pants

other than RMFR, every other team is to structured, they take a mogul aspect to the park and its damn annoying. Find a group of buddies who like it like you and ski everyday you can. try new shit everyday, thats the only way you progress and soon you'll be real good. McMurray and Kozody I think improved the most when they quit Southern. You do get real good in teams but only if you want to. Its just as fast to do it by yourself. don't join a team, just buy alot of good new shit.
sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.

Being on a team doesn't mean you aren't skiing for yourself it's just good to ski with coaches and friends. It makes it way easier to find lots of other skiiers around alberta to. I probably wouldn't even ski that much right now if I never joined a team. At least compared to how much I do now

teams are fun, its just a matter of opinion i guess. but full of cocky kids? most kids in alberta freestyle are really nice and not cocky at all, we just want to have a good time.. I mean there are a few cocky kids, but not any more than the skiers not on a team.

the best thing to do is ski with people better then you, it forces your progression. its hard in the rockies to find people that really push you but you just have to keep on looking

Dude, Freeskierz which is run out of COP is awsome! we ride tuesday thursday nights, friday nights at the gym hitting tramps and then big mountain trips on the weekends. we are hitting all the comps this year, all alberta freestyle comps if you want, all the big mountain comps and a bunch of the resort comps. basically its a group of wicked skiiers riding together, real chill. and because we are part of COP we get some pretty good hookups. Plus in the summer we hit the water ramps in red deer and grand prarie.

I used to be in Rocky Mountain Freeriders at louise. Awesome program, taught me to SKI, not just park.

Couple of the coaches were Eric Hjorleifson, Chris Rubens, Kevin Hjertas, etc...

It's just too far now, living in Calgary...

Southern's main focus is Moguls but do a little park and pipe, and they train out of COP

COP Freeskierz train out of COP there main focus is more park and pipe, they also do a little moguls

It depends which way you want to go.

Join southern, or any team really. It was probably one of best decisions I have ever made, seriously, and I usually make good decisions.

Lol I didn't do a day of moguls when I was with southern last year or when I was at hood. But that could be because Jon was coaching me lol.
