Eileen Gu went to the Met Gala

I mean she's hands down the best women's pipe skier. In Big Air she threw her first 16 ever in her last run at the Olympics to win gold. That took serious balls. She lifts up, encourages, and supports her competitors/friends at every event.

She's a better skier than you, but don't hate.

She can be the face of freeskiing idc, she embodies everything I strive to be as a skier:

- wealthy

- Chinese citizen

- shreds hard

- model for Louis Vuitton
 
imo her fit isn't baggy enough, what happened to the steeze??? jon brogan would be rolling in his grave if he was dead smh. she isn't representing freeskiing at all wtf. I doubt red bull will be happy with her not wearing her helmet to a high profile event either, tanner got dropped for less!

Who would you rather see representing womens skiing and why?

Kelly Sildaru, she's been in the game a long time grinding it out on the comp circuit, wish she would drop some edits instead of all those blogs, but her skiing is def developing some style to it and she's not afraid to send it.
 
The fact that we have a top athlete in our sport attending this aristocratic circle jerk bullshit just goes to show how played out freestyle skiing really is. Fuck this chick and fuck the met gala.

Honestly if I could go for free then I probably would. Would be cool to meet some of my favorite musicians. So I'm not gonna get mad at someone for going. That being said I think the rest of your comment is spot on and I think it's a shame that people care about this narcissistic bullshit.

Nigel's last part came out in 2018, he had an embarrassing showing at the Olympics, and is generally shit on/hated by the skate community. At least Eileen was in the news fairly recently.

Weird that the most popular skateboard icon is hated by the general community, just like how people hate on Elieen. They go cause theyre popular, nyjah has 5m ig followers, you might not like him, the underground skaters might not either, but the general public sure does.

I always felt she was overhyped. Imo. People latched onto her and seemed like they didn't care about other people progressing. Cool she was doing 9s both ways but they looked awkward and a little sketchy always.

Obviously she has more tricks now, but idk. I feel like sometimes we have to pick somebody to bet on and stay with them no matter what. Super unpopular opinion.

Its where multimillion dollar fashion companies whip out their cocks and dickslap the working class by convincing them that fashion is whatever autistic bullshit thats get worn at one of these events.

How played out freeskiing is?? Are you fucked?? Nobody in the general population knows/gives a shit about what freeskiing even is
 
And for all you dumbasses actually listing who you would rather see at the met gala. You don’t even know what the met gala is, why the fuck would you care about which freeskier is represented at the show you don’t watch. I bet $100 they don’t even mention anything about skiing. Its about rich people wearing rich people shit, Eileen Gu fits the card way better than anyone else in skiing, just be happy theres a skier there in the first place u dumb fucks

How is this not everyone's answer? Instagram account hacks notwithstanding, she a) kills it b) brings others up big and c) also kills it
 
I vote we send Olivia Asselin and Bella Bacon as representatives of freeskiing culture purely to make all these celebrities in skinny ass pants pee them selves
 
But in all seriousness this isn’t rly a surprise and i don’t rly see why Gu gets dragged for every little thing or someone feels the need to make a thread. Rly just needed a one and done on skiing for a country who is committing genocide currently
 
You all know that modeling and fashion is one of her main things too, right? And that makes WAAAAY more money than skiing ever will for her. But yeah, what a fucking shocker that a fashion model went to the Met Gala, right?

Send Taylor Lundquist if u really wanna fuck shit up. She’s so damn ill and her personality would throw the elitists for a whole ass loop

Met Gala is supposed to be attended by the newsmakers and cultural icons of the previous year, each personally invited by Anna Wintour. It's not just about being popular or well known. Tons of celebrities don't make the cut each year. It made sense to me that he was invited the year skating was in the Olympics, he was the posterboy of skating and the fashion industry loves counter-culture. But like I said, he flopped in the Olympics, hasnt released a part in forever so I was just surprised he got the invite again this year.

Also the reason people hate him (multiple sexual assault allegations) is pretttty different than the hate Eileen gets IMO

Nah people hate nyjahs crypto scamming ass because he is a rapist and has expensive lawyers to duck any repercussions of his actions. Eileen should not be compared.

while I completely agree with you, I’m sure his continued mainstream popularity coupled with his “connections” and previous attendance got him in, I’m not really surprised. the Met and the fashion world doesn’t care about when he released his last part, only the skateboarding world does

“Eileen Gu shouldn’t represent all skiers”

1041770.png

And we’re all talking about the same Met Gala right? The pretentious fashion show no one really pays attention to? G idc what they think of skiing, Grimace could be their face of skiing for all I care
