i dunno.....there are always posers in a sport.....but you can't define a poser as one thing, because every poser is different, as with every skiers style. i guess a good generalization on a poser would be someone who talks it up and can't back it. that's all it comes down to. don't matter what you ride, don't matter how you got your gear, don't matter where you ride, all that matters is what you say you can do. if you say you can only do a spread, then everyone will believe that you can only do a spread, nothin wrong with it. after all everyone starts somewhere....shit i remember my first spread, well the season at least. however, lets remember: it's all about progression...everyone always wants to be better then they are. And, that's a good thing. it motivates you to push your limits. it's the ones who talk like they're better than they are to be 'cool' or whatever. that's where the posing comes into play.
