We see this a lot with skiing. I grew up working at mountains to afford it and my equipment is decent.

Then Joey (not sure where the name originated) will bomb past you on $5000 worth of equipment and end up in traction after wiping out on the first icy patch they see.

So the word we use is a Joey.

Maybe like a baby kangaroo out of pocket before they're ready?

Could be, one of the guys at the mountain was a kiwi. Maybe it was Australian related.
