I saw a bunch of kids about that age teleing at MRG when I was there 2 weeks ago. These kids were ripping down Chute and then I saw them on Paradise later that day.

I've been doing it off and on for a year...
Been out maybe 15 times on tele's..... Still much to learn.. But last weekend I had an epiphany and now I can keep more weight on my rear leg...

So... It's a work in progress...
