I can't even express how angry this thread makes me. "if this is where skiing is going, i'm quitting." Fuckin go ahead. Go snowboard, where everything is the same, and you don't have to worry about people doin different things. If you don't like mute grab slides, and other similar things, then don't do them. i'm sure it in no way affects your life. It doesn't affect anyone, whatsoever, unless you're in a contest with that person, and they beat you by being innovative and creative. I FUCKING HATE YOU PEOPLE.
