Skiing equation and why you f^#ks are so stupid

heres the deal...im noticing soooooooo many people, like 90% of this board, seems to think the skiing equation is something like this:

0% Rider + 25% equipment + 25%bling + 50% jacket = good skier

and for all of you (i dont want to put a list out, but basically any of you east coast kids and all the ones out west who are too pussy to ride big mountains) who think that, let me fill you in on something. it doesnt matter what jacket your wearing or what bling you have on on whether or not you have the BRAND NEWEST skis or the fact that youre EXTREME cuz you drink ROCKSTAR....heres what you fuckin kids need to realize. this is the proper equation for skiing:

98% Rider + 2% Equpment + ZERO PERCENT JACKET

now fuck off, eh

 
...who are you talking about? cause i doubt anyone thinks like that

yay!
 
i wish i could ski big mountain lines, but i can't until i move out west. i still give it all in the park and the pipe and give 100% effort and step up my tricks every time. i don't own the most expensive clothing and i barely get enough cash just for my skis.

No Props!
 
theyre not going to openly admit they do, but come on, 90% of the people on this site think that if you dont have a steezy, brand new jacket from orage or sessions or whatever, it actually takes away from your riding ability. they believe that having bright fucking jewelry (JEWELRY!) dangling from their necks makes them a better rider. this tanner hall shit has to stop. dressing and acting him wont make you like him. tanner got to where he is now because he worked a LOOOOOONG time (read= 10 yrs +) for it, and its his passion. these fuckers on this site think that just cuz they can dress like him and lap the park like him all day they are already as good as him. and its not that way.

 
and rich, i make exceptions for people just kiciking it and having a good imte like you. people that ride Jay Peak, i dont have a problem with any of them. theres just too many kids nowadays (i wont give any names, but BRYAN "i dont go into vails back bowls cuz theyre too steep" GALLANT[yes he actually said that]

) who think that since they can straight line from the top of the lift to the park, spin a 5, and then straightline back down to the lift, and do it all with a big poofy coat on, that theyre are the best riders ever. and that shits whats gotta stop.

 
please don't tell kids not to buy new stuff. If everyone just rode on old skis and in old clothes we would notice a very steady decline in the material goods that are associated with skiing. Unless you have your own mountain you cannot ignore the business side of skiing and how it goes hand in hand with the sport. Please kids buy new stuff, it makes you cooler, especially movies, they make you the coolest.

My weiner is probably harder than yours.
 
oh believe me, if i lived on the east coast, i would drive around to a new ski area every day and everytime i saw a poser in the park, i would mercilessly drag him/her into the woods and beat them senseless. but luckily i live out west. the only reason this gets me so fired up is because what theyre doing makes everyone else who doesnt ski think thats what everyone in freeskiing is all about. and it not, but nobody knows that because of course, as we all know, its 120% jacket and 0% rider, duh

 
please don't classify anyone with bryan gallant. it demeans us all.

the kids who really love skiing are out there. every day. working. the kids who love the lifestyle side are on here. every day. posting bullshit.

 
marketing happens. it's an image and it works. nobody wants to see skiing decline and there are enough kids out there to make up for all the t-hall wannabees.

a bad day'll make you really notice ones this good and that'll make things a little better understood - blackalicious
 
i agree. being a skier isnt about the lfiestyle. its about goin out there EVERY single day and having fun progressing the sport and yourslef as a rider, not about talkin on these dumb sites and exposing stupid bullshit to all these people that are the ones out there to have fun and want to talk with others of their kind that jsut wanna talk it up about the skiing NOT the lifestyle and bling and all that bullshit.

thats not true, tanner hall has all the new stuff, tons of bling and he kicks ass... your just to poor to be a good skier.

man u are a massive fucking tool....u obsioulsy have no fucking clue what our ski hills are in the east cost becasue u think that u know everything...my hill is just that...a hill...u have to DRIVE DOWN to get to the base of the "mountain"...so dont give me this about "most of east coast skiers dont want to ride big mountain" because we CANT!!!!

i have never seen anyone riding with jewelry. and why not buy a jacket that looks nice if it costs the same??

i learned how to ski on the east coast and now i ski mostly big mountain in utah. Im not saying im great but you guys on the east coast dont have to just ski the park, go out, ski the trees, get creativer, you know, i guess yeti is sayin u guys are all parkrats, i agree with somethings hes saying but not all, skiing isnt about hitting the park, its about going out and skiing and not giving a shit what ur wearing or wut ur skis are, its about having fun and prgressing the sport, if you wanna progress it in the park, then step it up,stop talking and go fuckin ski.

Bottle Rocket Productionz
 
who gives a shit what people wear, its not like you can't tell if theyre good or not once they hit a jump so what does it matter, and im pretty sure that image is what has attracted a lot of the younger generations now, so you should be thankful that all that money is going to your sport

look here douch bag, why would anyone here ski if they couldn't. Of course it takes skill to be a good skier. Im sure some people have nice gear and shit and can't ski but not 90% of us. Just look in the media and all the video's , most of those videos are NS's own skiers who are fucking dope, soo don't just post that were all posers becuase where not, and even if some of us are we still know that it takes skill to become a good skier.

 
The people you are reffering to are juat gettin into our sport the newbs if you will. YES they are park rats they dont understand the culture of the sport and the ideas behind it. Does in any way affect my ideas on skiing and what I get out of the sport? NOOO

The fact that this bothers you so much to make a thread leads me to beleive you are not intune with what skiing is about! Lets not rag on others fo rhow they choose to enjoy the sport as long as they ARE enjoying it!! I live in Ohio Big Mountain is more of a myth or a fairy tailm but you know what I get creative and I enjoy every second Im on the slopes here and when Im out west I shred the BC!!! SO JUST HAVE FUN DUDE AND STFU!!

a lot of these guys that live out west are originally from the east. there are tons of east coast transplants in colorado, utah, and cali. i'm just speaking up for this group of riders because i know that there is a lot more to do out east than ride park - it's part of the sport and i'm not saying everyone back east are parkrats, but your transition from EC hills to big mountains will be 100x easier and more fun if you learn how to ride ice and tight trees, not just 40 foot tables.

a bad day'll make you really notice ones this good and that'll make things a little better understood - blackalicious
 
why care about what people are wearing? I mean if they want to buy a new jacket eahc year it's there choice man they just like to have new stuff.

We all know (well I hope) that skiing is a rich ass sport. So ski for yourself don't bother about the other except if they talkshit on you or something.

I mean it's not because you got all the sickest gear and that you 180 that you are a poser, maybie he's dedicated just as you to the sport he just has less skills, skills doesn't mean if you are a poser or not some people just has less talent.it's not the cloths, the skis, or anything like that. it's your dedication to the sport that shows if you're a poser or not.

clearly you have the fucking equation wrong. its really

10% ability and 90% how cool you look in the lift line = good skier

fuck man if your gonna bash on someone get the fucking equation straight

you're a fucking idiot. do you even read this board or did you just decide to post random shit that has no bearing. i think thats what 10% of the kids on here are like...fuck big companies, fuck core companies. it dosnt matter. oh and one last thing, bigot. because I live in the west and don't ski alot of big mountain does that make me a bad skier? it doesnt mean i CANT...it means i dont want to. i like park and really theres nothing you can do about it so fuck off. g'night

ANSWER: Yetigonecrazy is right and I agree completely. Don't believe me? Just go find that long thread about posting your new setup for the coming year. Holy shit, I was amazed by that thread. EVERYone that was posting in that had new Oakley shit and Armada skis it seemed like, and you guys show it off like you have to prove how core you are. It's like what kind of skis and clothes you have dictates what kind of skier you are. That thread made me sick reading it.

You know what? Because up until 2 years ago I was still skiing on the yellow 1080s from '99-00. I just got myself a new pair of 03 silver 1080s. Yep that's right people, I ride an old pair of 1080s still. Guess what? When I still ride my yellow 1080s (I still do some days because I like their feel) kids in the park look at my like I'm a dumbass. Even when they can't slide a 10ft rail or do a 360, they look down on me. When I throw a 720 with a grab and they do a 180 with a boot touch grab, they laugh at me. You know what? I've always been amused by you guys that spend all this money on new gear every year, and I still am. Its not what you own, its how you ride it

 
its seems like everyday there is a thread like this, seriously dont we all go out and ski to have fun, maybe somebody buys a bunch of stuff to look "cool" who cares just go have fun and ski, nomatter what u r wearing or what skis u r riding, isnt it all about how much fun ur having????

 
id like to be proud to say im not on that list even though im from the east coast. im using last years 1260's(first skis ive ever got new) renting boots, have poles that are way too small to use from many years ago. hopefully getting a coat from an army surplus store for 50 bucks, at least 7 year old scott goggles(which were the cause of me getting six stitches 2 years ago because the cushoning is going away), a 2 year old giro helmet, gloves i got for christmas last year, and snowpants i bought from someone off here a year ago, which probably don't fit anymore, but im still using them.

Take me to your special place

Close your eyes, show me your face.....I'm gonna piss on it

 
muidwest rep keeps it real, he knows whats going on. you all rag on me for tellin the truth, why dont you all take a look at yourselves and realize how image driven you are. yeah so what im poor, at least i was a better skier at age ten then you'll ever be. and so what if im privleged to live out west. if you dont like your local ski hill, do something about. stop bitching, get off those rails, and move your ass to somewhere like tahoe or summit. seriously people, im dead right here and theres not a damn thing any of you can say.

ECSkier04, i am glad the money is being driven into our sport. but i dont want that money to be used to propogate an image of newschool skiing that isnt true. I want people to look at our sport and say "man those guys are cool" and not "man those guys are all posers". And when you all worry about image and not the skiing (which, contrary to popular belief, a lot of you do) thats when you become a poser.

nomensteven- youre an idiot. you rip on me, then agree with me. i think that should be skiings equation too, skiing = fun. but there are people who think the equation is the one i mentioned before. and sadly, its a geographical inconvenience to some, but most of those kids are from the east coast.

PDandoy- you should be gang beat in an alley by some handicap people. you are the exact people i was talking about. and being a "gay racer"? say that to bode miller's face and let's see how you fare. racing is rooted in our sport. Wendy Fisher, Seth Morrison, Jeremy Nobis, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, ever heard of any of those people? they all got their starts through "gay racing". Think before you make insults, cumstain.

i dont give a shit what anyone else thinks, because, well, they're wrong. and the ho will get angry are those who make sure every single thing they have is the most current year and most current "cool" thing and the most "core" shit around. and ya know what, those kids are the worst skiers around. Acting like tanner hall and dressing like tanner hall wont make you tanner hall. if it were that east id just go out and grow some dreads and piece together a crazy outfit of old shit and BAM! suddenly im as good as Sage Cattabriga-Alosa. Not quite. Until you fuckers stop worrying about your image and actually start skiing, then you dont have room to say shit. and to those who of you who dont fit into this category, dont bother posting, it doesnt concern you.

 
i dont think you have the right to say everyone on this site is like that

yetigonecrazy , stop acting like youre all that. only one memebr agrees with you. This site is filled with skilled skiers, soo get youre head out of youre ass and stop fucking bitching.

dude that isn't true at all and you need to stop hating on the east, many east coast skiers are some of the best from skiing on ice, I grew up on maine and if we were lucky you would get maybe a month were there wasn't ice, and you know what I am confident that I could rip harder in the backcountry than someone from the west coast, you know why cause I would have to adapt and those adaptations would help me in good snow.

U need to get your bulge rubbed and calm your stimulus, why do you worry so much about other people unless you are a casual poser yourself.

 
make skiing more accessible and affordable and skiing would progress......im so tired of you little rich kids thinking you are the shit. you're not. even if you're the best on your mountain, big deal. there are tons of athletes out there who can't afford to be on the hill everyday, but if they could, they would kick your ass.

and stop acting like fags. skiing isnt cool. and neither are you. baggy clothes and fake accents just make you look even more retarded. the tanner halls out there make snowboarding look so much more appealing.

 
for the record, I ski in the east. Maine is actually about as east as it gets here in the US. And, for the record, I don't know what kind of coat or pants I own. I can tell you about my ski's and boots, because frankly, I researched them and tried them before buying, but that's just being a smart shopper. I got my coat 3 years ago at a Joe Jones, and it is not poofy. All I know is that it is red and gray. And my pants I got at EMS on sale for 22 bucks. And yes I do give skiing an effort. And YES, goddammit there are a lot of poser skiers out there who buy the most expensive shit and think they're good, but that's not just the east coast. Actually, that's what american society is, and it's not going to change soon, because people (yes, you too) like to be respected in society, and they try to do that though material items. And yes, I can ski.

my first name is richard so i just shortened it for my newschoolers name. Yes i will be buying new skis this year but that will it. it's all i need. i've had my jacket for 4 years and it's still fine, even though i ski 4-5 times a week.

No Props!
 
it can't be 0% jacket! what if the rider was in the middle of quebec and it was fucking freezing out?! they likely wouldn ot look like such a good skier when they have to conserve all of their body heat to stay alive
