I haven't had this happen but maybe its behind my back where I can't hear?
I'm nowhere anywhere close to being "good" It may be because of my gender and age though, who knows.
Although a funny moment from Buck hill the other day. A kid went by me, saw my skis and my Tall T and said something like "Vishnu kid! Nice Tall T and skis Whats your best trick?" We stopped and chatted for a bit and he was a little surprised i wasn't a kid , but yet a grown up beginner haha. He then messaged me later on IG when he made the connection who I was.
I get all positive comments on both my On3ps and my Vs.
I don't care if anyone thinks I'm trying too hard or a poser. They're skis , the tool you happen to choose to use to satisfy the urge to slide with. It too motivates me to work harder to get as good as I can be within my capabilities.
