Crusty Old Dried Up NSers

Yeah, I'm aware that Magnus Graner is an unoriginal hack that sold out on a way of skiing that at one point he thought was really cool. Why do real pro skiers (Henrik Harlaut, Phil Casabon, LJ Strenio, Tom Wallisch, Tanner Hall, etc.) not do that? Because they are true to themselves and their skiing and don't really care what the latest trend is... they are just doing their thing.

Of course Tall T Productions sells new wave shit. Thank you for helping me make my point. It is a massive trend that everyone in the industry is trying to get a piece of and make a dollar or two off of. Nothing original or grass roots about it.

REAL NEW WAVE WITH REAL BUTTERS WITH REAL CLOTHES FROM REAL THRIFTSTORES ON REAL BENCHES IN REAL PARKS DOING REAL UNDERBONKS
 
I just really dont see the issue, the bunch, vishnu, hoodcrew, their skiing is fun as fuck to watch, weve been seeing dudes do 9s, 10s, 12, for ages who cares that some dudes want to butter benches and hit the street with their homies and flow around the park, its the same shit that everyone else is tryna do just the style is different, just doesnt seem like a big deal, its not like skiing branching out is going to take away henrik or will away from you guys

Why the fuck do people call it "New Wave"??? It makes it sound awful and cringey.. why can't we just call it skiing?? Or reference it as to "bunch style" or something like that if you need to call it something..

Also, it doesn't help when NS posts something on social media everyday callin it "new wave". Way to have a terrible name probably stick around now..

how bout we just call skiing "it"

What you doing later today mane?

just gone doing some it.

sounds lit Brushino.
 
Once you're over 25, you're over the hump. Might as well just get in a coffin and get buried, right?

Who wants to start a new website with me called oldwavers? We will revert back to 2005 era and won't let any of these god damn ballerina kids use the site.

Signing off - crusty old dude
 
Also: a lotta the new wave stuff has been done for over 10 years just that now for some reason its gaining a lotta popularity which is dope because the whole point of freeskiing is to have fun
 
As one of the old timers I'm confused. I thought Flock of Sea Gulls was new wave............ I don't even know what you whipper snappers are arguing about. Stay off my lawn and out of my lift line.

PS Flock of Sea Gulls was a band during a musical fad called "New Wave"
 
i like being crusty and old these days... i can actually afford new gear and lodge food if i feel like it. i can even afford to take OPs mom out on a date, but i'm not rich enough for dinner AND rubbers. so i just raw dog it instead.

so uh. idk about anyone else but Imo we can definitely cut this shit out. new wave skiing is fine but is lacking in the style department.
 
Old balls here saying "hi"...

FYI, us "crusty old dried up NSers" have contributed more to the ski industry than you can imagine. We were the ones poaching the "snowboard park" before skiers were even allowed. You sound like some little butthurt internet warrior hiding behind a computer calling people out.

Please enlighten me as to what the fuck "New Wave" is... in our day we just called it skiing.
 
why errybody so mad all the time now, i feel like im reading a trump vs hillary debate about skiing style... no one says you have to watch "new wave" edits

As far as I know, its a new trend where kids wear overalls over sweaters, the hood of the sweater over the helmet and you ski around on the softest skis ever invented and apparently fucking up on something and then pretending it was done on purpose is not only encouraged but praised as "revolutionary".... along with backseat/nose heavy landings where you drag both hands as to not tip over. "nah man I didn't almost eat shit because I suck at skiing, I purposely landed like that because I'm so different and I'm progressing the sport!"

If they do land upright, they unnecessarily swing their arms to one side as if they're in the Thriller music video.

Its basically an excuse to ski like shit.
 
tbh I just want to send big fatty threes and 180 tweaked safetys like pep so im cool with the old steeze or whatever.

its just skiing brehs.

Aw its cute when The Bunch fanboys gets all worked up because people are calling out that shitty style.

Maybe people would stop making fun of "new wave" if you idiots stopped dressing exactly alike, learned how to stomp a landing and stopped pretending that your sloppy ass skiing and coming off the rails early is intentional. Most of the shots in those edits are absolute trash that would never make the final cut in a respectable edit.

"New wave" is not style. Its a trend that mindless gapers like you leach onto because you're insecure. A perfect example of this are some of the Hood Crew kids who dressed gangster with tall-Ts and now they wear track pants and overalls over a sweater.

Simply put, its a shitty excuse for style and you're just another trend whore who cares more about looking like someone else than actually skiing. Go play dress up in your tree fort and get the fuck outta the park with that crap.

Bandanas used to be worn over your face, hood shit. Now they just tie their hair back with them or wrap them around their extremities like Rosie the Riveter. SAD

Real shit fam! I remember way, way back in the most glorious era of 2010 when skiers grew up in the fuckin hood and fought their way to the top of the terrain park. What happened??

I mean, Im only 22, so I'd say its safe for me to still be on NS, my crust ain't that thick yet. Growing up in Midwest, you should know that the tall tees and XXL pants defined what skiing was in our area. Not that we are hung up on the past but we want to preserve the style that we grew up with. The baggy street style clothes comes from what skiing is to us and the actual experience we have. The hills in the Midwest are just glorified sled hills. We had shitty park features and hand rails in the plaza downtown, and our style reflects that. This new wave style reflects that of a hobo, no true meaning behind the "wave". No experience that had been had. Dingy sweaters and used track pants from the nearest thrift store is just a way for these new companies to make a quick buck off of shitty clothing to go along with their shitty "surf sticks". And they find half-assed skiers who will take a free pair of skis and a ham sandwich to be sponsored for their intentional sloppy landings and their hula dance arm waves. Props to them for brain washing half the industry though.
 
There was some version of this going on in 03-04 when Blake Nyman was skiing in sweaters and tight pants.. I even heard people say he was trying to be 'emo' .. A.Boronowski put that shit out with Bright Eyes.. Think Thank was a thing.. I mean, it all just recycles. In the same years Magoon and Bradshaw did their thing.. in hindsight it's all just so irrelevant. Skiing continues to be a good time, and how damn good are skis now compared to then!?!?
 
its. fucking. skiing. holy fuck who gives a shit. in ten years it won't matter if you cringe at yourself. it'll matter if you had fun.

Replace "baggy street clothes" with______ , and that quote could be used to explain any style, including stuff worn from Goodwill. Don't get hung up on it.

+5 respect points for skierman
 
Okay but who gives a shit? Who’s to say what’s real skiing or not; if you don’t like it then don’t worry about it. You can’t talk shit about someone’s style like it’s “not real skiing” then turn around and complain about the lack of creativity in comps. You wanted creativity, and you got it. Some of it’s pretty lit, some of it I could do with out but that doesn’t mean that a style I don’t like is bad skiing.

I’m onboard wherever skiing goes as long as we’re all skiing uniquely. Stop making such a big deal out of it
 
We holding back here.. To old to get involved anyways..What would we know.......

.... just a couple old guys....
