Both Shane and CR dedicated (at least) the last 5 years of their lives to skiing the big mountain, throwing tricks in the big mountain realm, and dropping into the park once in a very long while to throw a couple of tricks just for shits and giggles.. You're telling me that CR and Shane were fans of the "thug life park rat" aspect of things when they woke up and realized where they wanted to take the sport?
There's plenty of pro's out there who would love to voice the things that I'm saying right now, I just have the balls to put it out there. Jon Brogan looked like a complete jackass with his douchebag "afterbang" landings, Henrik Harlaut is an embarrassment to the sport on a global scale due to his pant-dropping, white rastafari antics, and gang signs/tall tees were founded by a portion of the African American culture quite some time ago...Park skiers adopting these trends is anything but "original" and just looks completely absurd.
At the end of the day, I'm probably arguing with a high schooler, so I'm heading to bed. NS, see you in a few more weeks when I check in on the NStupidity Movement.
