Freestyle skiing is a sport for both men and women. The competitors get to choose what they would like to do, downhill skiing or cross country skiing. there are lots of different jumps. there is the twister, the spread- eagle, the iron cross and the helicopter- an upright 360 degree spin. The competitors also get to decide what kind of skis they use, long skis or short skis. Usually it depends on the size of the person.
In a race, it does not matter how many people qualify, but each race is limited to four starters. Physical endurance and strength play a ski roll in ski athletes.
Athletes may choose three out of four different lines they will ski down on the mogul course. After the start signal, they ski down a steep slope and over a series of off set large bumps (mogul) as high as 1.2 meters and spaced 3-4 meters apart. There are two sets of bumps, one near the top of the course and one near the bottom of the course where the skiers are required to perform 4 different jumps of there own choice. the ski cross course is designed to test skiers skills incorporate turns n a variety of type and sizes, flat sections and travers, as well as rolls, banks and riges similar to those found on a normal slope.

I would like an ipod touch for Christmas. I would like it because than I can listen to my own music and so I don't have to share with my brother. I would also like one so I can take it wherever I want without having to ask my parents.
If I don't get an ipod touch for Christmas, I would like money. I want money because I can save for something else, such as an ipod touch. I also want money because I can save it for University or something for when I'm older. Another reason why I want money, is so I can buy gifts for other people, such as my mom and dad.
I would like a pair of lulu lemon pants if I don't get an ipod touch or money for Christmas. I want a pair of pants because I love the stuff Lulu Lemon makes and I really need a pair of pants. Another reason why I want a pair of Lulu Lemon pants are because there pants are nice and stretchy unlike jeans!
If I don't get an ipod touch, money or a pair of Lulu Lemon pants for Christmas, I would like a new sweater from World of Trout. I want a new sweater because I need a new sweater, the sweaters from World of Trout are very warm and because I'm growing out of all my other sweaters!
