Past Members!/Pro Skier Alumni! KATHERINE LEASK From: UK TRIBAL MEMBER 2006 Aspirations: to become sponsored this year! Comment: loved doing tribal, it was an amazing experience ... I just learnt so much from it both physically and mentally. Im going to be honest, it was hard at times for sure ... but then that happens to everyone ... I read an article ... 'A mental block can be one of the toughest obstacles to overcome: they're detrimental to performance, mole hills into mountains kind of stuff." - Simon Guthrie. Its so true and happened to me ... in fact it bothered me so much they allowed me to pause my course for a while which was wonderful ... but it was in returning to Tribal after those hard times that brought me through it ... along with perserverance and of course being with people that were just so stoked everyday!! The team is what made it for me, skiing with a group where everyone's trying new stuff ... you cant help but have fun ... everyone's inspirational individually and so coming up with new ways to play with a feature, you're learning something new every moment of the day ... and having such a laugh too ... usually at someone elses expense! The coaches were cool, they listened to us and knew how to spread out the day to our full advantage ... we skiied most of the time in the various parks over on Blackcomb branching out to big mountain skiing when there was a powder day of course! It meant we got to progress in all aspects of skiing. The most fun I had was during my last week, it was spring skiing and I had overcome that mental block ... plus the snow was soft so didnt hurt as much and I was attempting tricks I had never dreamed of trying before ... in fact I was so stoked and livid that it all had to come to an end I headed off to New Zealand to continue my conquest of learning to ski park!! Thank you guys for everything, you really listened to me and did everything you could to help me get the most out of the course ... therefore I will be seeing you very soon indeed for some more pow pow ... Yeeooooooooooooooooooooo!! Katie ASHLEIGH LOW FROM:CANADA 2005-2006 TRIBAL MEMBER I think that tribal was good! Since i joined you guys in the spring, I spent most of the time in the park, which was awesome, team mates were rad!!! It was nice to have someone there pushing you and giving you ideas on new tricks to try and having them there to be stoked with you when you stomped something new. During tribal I learned that when you stay positive and have fun you learn a lot more and land more tricks, than if you get really stressed about it. The Coaches were great! they really know their stuff. haha i'm just pissed that i won't see you guys til spring break or telus! Thanks for everythig yosuke!

Yosuke, Chris Turpin, Mark Abma, Justin, Myles Ricketts, Marc Mcdonnel(blackcomb team head coach)... Skiing among all these legends on the snow,, enabled me to decide to take Freeride skiing as a career. weither riding, knowledge ot soul..I learned a great deal. And my experience living and riding Whistler has really been a really important aspect in my life and my skiing. What I am, and what I am doing now are reflected upon my joining Tribal. Realizing the true FUN of skiing amongstfriends(team mates). the importance of Freedom. Because there are Friends, I am always seeking to find more Friends! TAKANORI SHIBABUKI |
