How did you become non-gaper?

[*N_Wist*]

Was there a person or something you did that made you see the light? I knew enough about skiing before joining NS to know that I dislike racers, but didn't know shit about freestyle. NS really helped with the freestyle aspect thank you guys. and Go!

[SKIU4EA]

I'm confused... What does "disliking racers" have anything to do with what you're talking about?

 

[Backyard.Skier]

zomg you didnt knowz that you have to hate on racerzzz?

 

[Obie.]

i still am a gaper, its in my bloood

 

[*N_Wist*]

I just realized I didn't want to be like them on the hill and I don't like their attitude because they are especially bad at my hill

 

[Dr.Gonzo]

i became a non-gaper as soon as i was born, my parents said my first afterbang came just seconds after being released from the womb

 

[D-40]

Soon as I bought Full Tilt's n a tall t

[ROBOT]

all i did was pull my helmet on the right way. then no more gap

 

[Catbug]

when i glued some extra ski tips on the backs of my single tippers

 

[LittleFoot]

Almost same for me. The moment I put my goggles under my helmet I was no longer a gaper

 

[Peter.]

i saw the light

 

[Saintlysteeze]

I think when a gaper learns what a gaper is, soon enough they will no longer be a gaper

 

[coldcuts69]

jesus came and punched me in the dick and said i was no longer a gaper. so im not.

 

[Powderhauser]

my cousin taught me the ways of a non-gaper..

 

[chiefbroseph]

my brother, many a day i used to ski with him wile leaning back seat and rocking an amazing gaper gape. how it was so fun to be so oblivious.

he cald me a fag and stopped skiing with me.....

 

[lucasicool]

"you dont even sag your goggles". "it hurts my nose" "your nose will get used to it". I am still a taper

 

[oil.]

what the hell is a taper

 

[ericdan]

I looked like a complete gaper earlier, but I got taller stuff, worked on my style, and fixed my giant gaper gap

 

[Smilemon]

My girlfriend bought me a Saga jacket for Valentines day.

 

[TastyZ]

FIrst introduced to freestyle skiing though X-games

 

[pastysmasher]

im spending a season in western canada and skiing everyday, no longer a gaper

 

[washparkdub]

When I learned to keep an edge

 

[ericdan]

If you are looking to become ungaper, all you have to do is wear goggles under helmet, and wear bigish stuff. Thats it.

 

[Dlud]

What if you fall every time you turn? Still a gaper? I think yes

 

[ericdan]

Nah bro! Thats only for a bit! You fall over, get up, go to the park, learn just goin straight onto boxes, and before u know it il be getting rails and other stuff down!

 

[JakeAssBeatClap]

When I started doing meth.

 

[Tree60]

pretty much the second i realized doing this looked stupid.

 

[rudager]

Can I kick you?

Half of the park rats like you have probably worse attitudes and no respect towards anyone.

I can prove my point if you've ever been to COP

 

[ericdan]

I ran into a gaper two days ago and my respect knda went down from there

 

[TRASHTALK]

now someone is hittin it in the right direction!

 

[ericdan]

Or when they get crashed into hard enuf

 

[TRASHTALK]

living in CO riding with pros?

 

[Billek]

Windells back in 06-07 sucked the gaper right out of me.

 

[000000000000]

findin idividual style, folk stare at a tall t in the backcountry hahaha

 

[Montana_Hoodrat]

man when I put my goggles on under my helmet, I get a massive gaper gap. WTF.

 

[SEABURN]

went skiing, a lot. Got a job at a shop, kept skiing.

 

[Mr_pretzel]

Im still a gaper.

 

[GrabsForFun]

This

 

[razors-chaz]

the defining moment was when i pulled this

out my ass in big air qualifiers after yard sale-ing on a straight air hit in warm ups.View attachment 291271

 

[*N_Wist*]

Im sorry but no you can't kick me. And I am by no means a park rat, I ski more all mountain only about 30% in the park and Ive only been in the park for about 2 years, so I'm not throwing down any crazy shit. I do however respect people on my hill as long as their not being assholes and being like hmmm look I race therefore I own the mountain and can treat you like shit! I don't even know where COP is?

 

[nickppp100]

once i learned to hit a box sideways. after that day everything made so much sense

 

[midwestpowhunter]

 

[ericdan]

Ok I don't get it... I still wear my goggles strap going around the outside of my helmet, but they always sit flush with the helmet on my face. No gap whatsoever. Plus I think it's more comfortable going around my helmet too.

Am I a gaper? I can post pictures of the helmet thing if you don't believe me! Haha
