Everything about that video was awesome. The song, the gnarly shreddage, everything. The fruit suits were the best part- I wish I had one of those, then I could go into the terrain park and show those un-aerodynamic fools how to go fast. They think they're good skiers, but really, they don't know the first thing about racing. A bandanna doesn't make you faster, leaning back so hard on your skis might break them if you're not careful. They're not supposed to bend so easily or so far, and every time I see fat skis I cringe (they're not as fast as 55 millimeter-waist skis), especially if they've been broken by skiers leaning so far back and forward that the tips and tails start 20 cm from the end of the ski. HOW ON EARTH DO PEOPLE EXPECT THOSE SKIS TO CARVE WELL? And as for the tails, there are a whole lot of people making dangerous modifications to their skis these days. It should be illegal, someone might get hurt!
 
never call repost without posting the thread. i cant even after extensive searchbarring. somebody find that shit
 
what?Considering alot of the 20yearold something skiers you see ripping around all started in racing programs/etc, I think they know how to ski and are making personal choices in how they go forward with skiing. Their are advantages and trade off's to all different ski types, but at the end of the day its the Skier that makes it happen. Most of us can rip around center mounted on 85+wide better than 90% of the skiing public can mounted on a fullback carving ski.
So take a deep breathe, calm down, go ski and have some fun
 
i really dont understand some people i mean be honest this is what freeskiing looked like ( sort of) like 10 years ago its all cool they're just having fun but as long as they dont try to call it a new sport *cough* ski boarding
 
Dear sir, I suggest that you visit your local radio shack and have your sarcasm meter fixed or replaced. It could be dangerous to continue living with a broken sarcasm meter, someone could get hurt.
 
you called repost without being able to prove it. and you still seem unable to. it is not a repost. i cant find any other threads on this. if you want to try go ahead. thats what i was saying: prove its a repost
 
haha the try jib at :48 is pretty sickand at 1:48 when the guy just falls head first into the snow is hilarious
i don't see why they don't just buy some downhill skis though......
 
hahaha the editing was really good. and there is this kid at my ski hill who bought twintip cross country skis saying it was the next big thing. he still skis them sometimes.
