i'm all for talking shit, but there's a time and a place for it. when someone isn't talking shit, don't go for the "gotcha!" and don't go for the "gotcha" unless you've really got them. do you think i don't know snowboarders were wearing tight pants a few years ago? i just mentioned scotty whitlake in wranglers. my point is that by wearing tight pants, skiers are doing more than just what snowboarder were doing a couple years ago. yeah, they're doing something snowboarders just did, but they're also making skiing look like it used to, and inadvertently taking the sport back to the roots of freestyle.
