Freeskiing = fail

Probably the dumbest labeling/branding of something, ever. Before:

Freeskiing is ACTUALLY the skiing you do when you're NOT in some sort of organized competition, training, race course, mogul course, or terrain park. If you think it adequately describes new school freestyle, or extreme skiing - you're a moron.

:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

The only true freeskiing competition is a SKI-OFF!

Way to jump on a term that was invented 40 years ago. We should probably also argue the use of the words curmudgeon and debauchery

Seems like a perfectly cromulent word to me.

It means that your parents took the harness and leash off. And your cell phone is back at the lodge.

it is a term that is meaningless, or has infinite meanings, without some context.

I thought freeskiing meant you don't have to pay for a lift ticket.

You have too much freetime and too much grumpiness.

Some areas offer free skiing on closing day. Lot's of free skiers come out of the woodwork on those days.

Just don't make the same mistake I did and actually google this term!

Better tell the Association of Freeskiing Professionals - http://www.afpworldtour.com/

They have a whole world tour based on it!

Then there is a magazine based on the word - http://freeskier.com/

Then there is the US Freeskiing Organization - http://usfreeskiing.com/

The list goes on and on! Lots of morons I guess!

I would enjoy free skiing more if it didn't require all that climbing. It's a rough deal being cheap but lazy.

Did you look at those websites? They barely even talk about or show skiing. I'm sticking with calling them morons.

Even newschoolers thinks it's completely stupid:

http://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/779288/The-word--Freeskiing-
http://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/775549/Why-is-freeskiing-being-defined-so-much-

The word freeskiing has only been useful to me for finding something to watch in my TV Guide.

That's not what skiing is about. Skiing is about yolo swag.

We may need to define freeskiing because it has evolved so much in recent years.Yesterday skiers were doing twister spread eagles, cossacks and backscratchers.
Those were the dark days, the non-creative days when going on a board ruled the
mountain.

In 2014, with the evolution of the so called new-school skiing and the acceptance of
the freeskiing disciplines into the Olympics, we have entered a completely new era.
Today skiing is about the switch and nothing but the switch.

No other definition necessary.

THOSE DAYS:

THESE DAYS:

WARNING: The switch can be a dangerous stunt. Practice in water/foam pit or on trampoline first!
