watch his 04-05 season edit. hes ahead of his time. and the tight pants is fine. it makes him stand out. and he pulls it off really well. hes been my favorite fora while now.

04-05 season

 
he has so much style, and the tight pants thing is awesome, baggy pants are played. plus its not like the pants are like skin tight, its just like normal pants you would wear off the hill.
 
Blakes super sick, and stylish. I think his tight pants thing is awesome. He is also a super chill guy which makes him even cooler
 
its crazy that after all this time the surface guys would prove to be my favorite style of riding. him and jordan seldin are puttin it down like no one else and i have so much respect for them.....

blake, jordan, pep, pollard, andy, chris....... those are the only pros i could watch and be very content with.
 
I like how I knew who this thread was going to be about before I even opened it.

Every single time Blake comes up, its an immediate attack on his pants. His pants, people, what he is wearing on his legs. Where else can we base an entire opinion on someone because of what their pants look like? Seems to me that skiing stands alone on that front, and to be honest, its rather embarrassing. Our snowboard counterparts have been wearing slimmer-fitting pants for years, and they seem to have grown out of any stigma that may have come along with it, so why not skiing? The number of times that pants get commented on before actual skiing in situations like this is mindblowing, and I really can't for the life of me understand why skiing is so content with focusing on such superficial aspects of the sport.

I've watched Blake's edits numerous times. True, I personally prefer wearing slimmer pants, so therefore I appreciate his style quite a bit on that front. But unlike quite a few of you, apparently, I am not constantly focusing on his legs and shaking my head in disapproval that you can see his knees. Take a second to look at the wide variety of tricks he includes in his part: switch landings off big cliffs into pow, extremely stylish switch corks, rodeos, creative urban. He even does a switch 10 in there, showing us that he is willing to somewhat conform to the expectations of skiing, so why can't we be more accepting of people like him who choose a different approach than perhaps most others might.

Blake's good news in my book.
 
mann, first time ive really seen any footage of him and ive gotta say his style is insane. He slays everything too, park, pow urban, awsome skiier, anyone know the song too?
 
jon olson proves you wrong at 132 in this video, hes wearing pretty tight pants in that switch 5.

nyman is good but his style sucks in my opinion, wearing tight pants isnt an excuse to have shitty style, but whatever. If you put tight pants on all the top pros today, nymans tightpants style would be a joke.

me too, and i agree, the guy fucking kills it. i dont mind the tight pants, it makes me curious how well he can move tho? i guess its gotta be like 4 way stretch. i think the pants just look so tight cuz hes got super skinny legs.

 
hes so fucking good and might be the nicest guy ever. He gave me a ride home from PC to westminster. So blake if you read this, thanks.
 
prety sick style, i like all his tail taps and jibbin and stuff, but i think he should get a tighter coat to match the pants, but still sooooo sick, also has huge gap on to raiils
