Don’t Just Sit On Your Ass All Day, Get Out There And Freeride Mother F-cker
By: Christian
Ok time for a history lesson b-tches, freeriding is the oldest part of the sport. No matter what sport that you're doing, as long as your sport concerns sliding down a snow covered mountain, freeriding is the oldest part of it. Freeriding was the first thing you ever did on skiboards, just chillin going down the mountain. Which brings me to my next lesson, freeriding is our roots, so if this mass industry of egos, money, and sponsorship is getting you down take my friend James Kresta’s advice and “Listen to the trees in the back country”.
I think freeriding is the best thing out there (this coming from a guy with one tree at his resort). Now here is the best thing about freeriding, it actually involves some work, WOW. See, if you are more of an advanced freerider, you know that finding a place that is challenging involves some hiking to get there, plus if you’re the jibbing and trick type (like me) you gotta find downed trees and have to build your own kickers also. Now to build a good kicker all you need is another snowboarder or skier friend (otherwise it takes a hella long time to build it right). Now us skiboarders got it good cause our skiboards are the perfect size to shape the kicker. So to build up snow just go down the hill and quickly stop right where you want the kicker to be to build up the snow, then shape the kicker using your skiboards its simple really, just takes time. This is one of the best elements of freeriding because it rewards you with your own jump and (if you pick the right location) better air than the lazy ass park goers.
Well that pretty much wraps up freeriding and all its glorious benefits. So when your pissed off cause all the little teenie-boper snowboarding ass holes keep cutting in when its your turn to hit the jump, get off your ass and freeride mother f-cker.
