Is this the crash that messed up her face?

@metroid2 snow boarding isn't for speed, you cant compare skate boarding and ice skating together for speed, because one is made for speed, and the other is made for free style. It's the same with skiing and snowboarding.

i ski there every year and this very first part with the cliff on the side is so freaking downhill you cant really see it on the video but i mean if you are going down there straight you will be at least at 110 km/h

@metroid2 I love both sports, but if I were going to crash I'd want to do it on a snowboard. IDK, having my skis catch and shatter my knees doesn't sound too fantastic. :D

i am a snowboarder and love it. But tbh, skiiers can get a lot more speed than we can. So in that sense, if they are pussies what are we?
