Yeah dude don’t even trip. I’m on new on3ps, new pivots, new fulltilts, and a new saga kit, and can talk about skiing culture all day long but I only learned how to do rails like a month ago. I’ve been doing moguls, trees, chutes, etc. my whole life but this whole park thing is still (relatively) new to me and I think joining NS was definitely part of what really got me into being a full time park rat.
So yeah, I kinda suck but have all the latest and greatest gear this season... so if that makes me a poser, so be it. Skiing is still a massive part of who I am, I’m progressing super fast, and I’m having fun doing it. It’s really hard for me to hate on anybody that’s just having fun doing what they love, whether it’s some jerry from Texas on rental skis, topher doing daffy butters, the bunch flailing their arms, whatever. As long as your having fun and continuing to pump money into this sport, that’s all that matters. It’s really hard for me to hate on someone just trying to enjoy themselves.
