lol i wouldnt call much, if any of what is being said as ripping on the thread creator. everyone is just making jokes lol, its sort of like the how to get to chads thread, or the my faunt got bigger, etc. its all in fun, i dont think anyone is trying to hurt his feelings or make any hostile remarks to him, everyone can see he is new here, and maybe new to the freeskiing scene. at least he had the balls to make a thread asking about something he wasnt sure about, or make a thread in general. i know when i started not that long ago i was terrified of making threads in fear of getting ripped on for a stupid question.
