Every single time i have gotten on a chair with a racer and they comment my skis,(04-05 fujatives) they ALWAYS fucking say "are those the seth's"? I'm like "nah they are the fujatives". then they say soemthing like "oh man you should get the seths they fucking rip, i love em." But oddly enough, they don't know what they look like?

Seems like the only twins most racers know is the seths and the PE's. Kinda weird.

 
everyone asks what kind of skis i have, even when it says LINE in huge letters by the tips, then they dont believe me when i say that they are 182s, until im like they are centermoiunted, then they ask whats that, thankfully our hill is so small the lift is over by then!
 
^Actualy im sure there are over 5.999999 billion people on the planet that have o fuckign clue what that is...
 
yeah i know what you mean but the word line on your skis isn't that easy to read if you don't know what it says. and racers can be pretty stupid.
 
hahahahaha^

i have this sick die cut DNA sticker on the tips of my tweaks, and people ask me what brand DNA is...then i tell 'em they are atomics and they dont believe me
 
ha dude i don't ahve anything against racing at all. i used to fucking race when i was little, and my GF still races, and i ride with her team all the time. Her team just doesn't know shit, and they still talk hella dome.
 
agreed. I think a lot of us, forget where skiing came from. Even "freestyle" evolved from the mogul skiing events.
 
yea the other day some dude asked me what kind of skis i had when it says armada in huge capital letters on the skis...and he had twins....weird
 
I have mojo 80s, which is a different sort of graphic on each ski, and old people ask me all the time if they are the same ski. And then they are like "well, at least nobody will steal them, they couldn't tell they go together"
 
many people question twin tips, especially racers, like the fuckin cocky ones who are stupid preps and cant ski for shit in the park
 
all the racers I know ski park just as much, they are actually the only good park skiers. I used to race, and I forrun a lot still(the fujis rip GS). The only part of racing I have a problem with is the coaches and the regulations, most of the racers are pretty chill though. after my races we wernt allowed to take the bibs off, and if we were seen w/out them we were DQd so I would change my jacket and goggles and go ski park. its my little way of sticking it to the man.
 
i use to race and the dumest thing i was ever asked was if my gold and black rossi world cup race skis were park skis and how well did they ride switch?

he wasnt joking either
 
i usually get lots of people who are like...what are twin tips?? why are your skis shaped like that? why do the tails curl up?? etc...etc...its funny but gets annoying after a while.
 
to get my skis mounted i wrote on the slip center mount

and he didnt know what it was and he had been mounting skis for 30 years
 
that happens at my mountain alot with the seth's. i think its because most racers are clueless faggots who only shop at the one shop that carries K2 as their only twintip brand. So they go shopping for their race skis there and uh oh! whats this? they need a twintip ski and whats the biggest baddest ski in the shop? pistols. i love how narrow minded they are.
 
last winter my brother and i were on the chair at PC with a family from boston. i was using my old pistols that day, and the dad goes, "hey, are those the fat boys?" my brother looks at him and goes, "yep, those are them. the big boys! fat boys!" the guy has no idea that were being sarcastic with him, and we proceed to have a nice conversation on how well my "fat boys" work in and out of the pow, groomers etc. he was nice.
 
i actually had a guy sit with me in a gondula say "they should ban all twin tips from the mountain." my fist stopped 2 inches from his face
 
twins are superior yes. but watch about carving racers- they ski crappy rock hard conditions on purpose and they can slice mean turns out of that boilerplate- take a good racer onto some actual good terrain and most times they can rip it up better than 90% of the little bitches that spend all day in the park.
 
very true^

even at places like alta, where there are a shitload of harcore pow skiers, i was told that my seths looked like two snowboards...it was rather amusing.
 
I was on the chair with some old guy and he commented on how nice my armadas were and how he might buy some.
 
i just think racing takes up to much space. then they come into the park in there tight ass suit things, and wreck everything.
 
there are still people there who havent seen a fat ski.... i was kind of surprised by it too...might have to do with their shape, you know..
 
very true, alpine racing is a very difficult sport, and an aspect that is very important to skiing. most freestyle skiers that are pros today started out racing. i myself chose not to race, but thats my choice.
 
no shit... when i first got my ninths everyone that i didnt know that freestle skied was like what skis r those... same with racers!!!!!!!!
 
ha at session 4 windells this fat little racer kid kicked snow on becker so when we got of the lift we threw snow at him.. the little fat fuck freaked and tryed 2 take down pat milberry... then his coach comes up and straddles pat and hes really fat 2.. so hes pushing him back while the little fat fuck is calling all of us homos and fags.. but hes the one with the lisp and spyder suit on... then we just left... but it was pretty funny
 
ha it is.. but i swear that its true. ask becker or pat milberry.. or n e one in both of there groups
 
I was in the lift with an old woman on 2,5 cm wide skeez, and she asked me how my skis was, so I told her that they are 4FRNT's, the have thick edges and have a wood core, so that they are very durable and bla bla bla. And she said WOOD CORE?!?!?!?!!? When did they start using WOOD in skis? Thank God that it was the end of the lift cuz I laughed soo bad..
