Stoked to reach a wider audience, so I'll share this as well:
I THOUGHT PEOPLE LIKED COLORS?
Lars Tynes has the coolest style, at least that’s what the Afterbang- readers voted when we had a poll on the topic. I somewhat agree, Lars has the steeze. He is also very concerned with style. When Lars learns a new trick, he figures out exactly how to do it so that it will look greasy on film, image etc. So it’s not that weird then? jk.
Sure, but how you do the trick is not your style alone. Lars says style can be simplified; it can be as easy as what you wear for example. Lars loves black tho, everyone loves black. Damn, I miss 2007.
When I started skiing in the park it was bursting with colorthugs. Parkrats were like the Chinese; all looked quite similar, but were different anyway. It was supposed to be baggy, people had to wear layers, and it should be bright! It had to be colors!
Light green, yellow, blue, and red pants, baggy as Cosco. PK Hunder had the fattest pants of all, it was pink, I was looking for them all over the internet, but could not find them anywhere.
Also tall tees, in all colors with some brand logo. Knitted hat from some hippie brand, bandana that matched your colorful pants and goggles with mirror lenses - anytime, even when it was dark too, so you were damn sure that you could not see shit!
Now it's black. Black hoodie with black pants, black jacket, vest, or leather jacket. If you wear the bucket on your head, it should probably be black, black hat is also ok, if you are badass. Thight or baggy does not trundle. Real niggas wear black!
One summer, a while back, some guy had sprayed a huge wall along line 2 in Oslo, specifically Sørbyhaugen. "I THOUGHT PEOPLE LIKED COLORS!" it was written with THALL, or Caps Lock, if you want. It was back in 2011, it is gone now because some gray freaks employed in Oslo tramway has removed it. Boring people.
It's not just that it's gray, drab and boring without color, it is also impractical to wear all black!
When you choose to do a urban shoot at night for example, or nightshoot on a kicker in the park. Then it would have been much easier to see what maneuvers you guys actually where preforming, if your clothing had som damn color! Yellow pants and a bright green jacket! Optionally LED- lights suits, ala the Christmas trees in Afterglow! Everybody loved Afterglow, because there was color!
I'm no fashion specialist, it rarely bothered me much either. I wear tall tees every day, caps and hats all year round. I even stopped drinking on the western side of the Aker River, because they have dresscode and I cannot enter those places dressed like that. But I do know one thing about fashion;
It turns, and I really hope we turn the clock back to the colorthugs era in the slopes.
Colors makes you happy, and I would be stoked if the mountain looked like a rainbow again!
If the mountain is a canvas, and the skis your brush, then by all means, be sure to colorize it!
