It means like somebody that sucks at skiing, and rarely goes. The reason its called "gaper" is because of the gap between the goggle and the cap that these people typically have, yet it is still pronounced "gay-per". There ya go bretherin.
 
nope

my friends and I were walking back to get on the gondola and wammy this gapper was "skiing" across the bridge

i know its to perfect but it really happened
 
The correct spelling is "Gaper" and it is some who sucks really bad and comes up 5 times a year. Also a "gaper gap" is that huge gaping gap between their helmet/hat and goggles.

Gaper on the front of "Van der Pigge", a pharmacy in Haarlem.

A gaper is a stone head, often depicting a black man, on the front of a building in the Netherlands.

It was used to indicate that this building is a pharmacy.

The literal translation of gaper would be yawner; the figure is always displayed with an open mouth, and sometimes you can see a pill he has taken resting on his tongue. In fact he wasn't yawning, but opening his mouth to take medicine.

The existing "gapers" in Amsterdam are almost all of Moorish appearance but this wasn't always the case and earlier ones, now in museums, show white Dutch faces as the gaper. The gaper represents the assistant of the travelling apothecary, the forefather of today's pharmacist. The apothecary would attend market days all over the country and his assistant would play the character of an ill man. After taking the pill, the assistant (often a Moor) would all of a sudden feel much better and perform a dance.

It is also said (on the Dutch wikipedia) that the southern appearance of the gaper was a symbol for the origin of the ingredients of the medications. This exotic link might also have suggested effectiveness.
 
dude bright colored poles rule... i have some rossis i picked up at a garage sale for 1$$ and cut them down to size.. the only way i can describe them is Oakley antifreeze and throw in some yellow.
 
i still feel like a goob for spelling it wrong anyhow. there is some group of kids in the area that calls themselves the "gayper gang" so i always thought it was spelled that way!
 
...are still all the "all-show-no-go-guys" => "big mouth small balls"

makes sense, its just confusing...
