Society's view on freeskiers Game

[AHREN*]

What do kids at your school or adults think when you tell them you are a freestyle skier? I'll start: GIFSoup

 

[Aladeen]

Cultura's "freeskiing" video basically summed it up perfectly

 

[Alpacka]

 

[AHREN*]

 

[Anchorfilms]

"Don't only snowboarders go in those 'parks'"

 

[Casey]

People usually think you do whatever their limited experience with skiing is. "oh I hate the cold its so expensive bla bla bla,"... good great stay off the mountain there's way too many people doing this shit as it is.

 

[AHREN*]

And if we think the parks are crowded now, just wait until after the olypics...

 

[AHREN*]

Olympics*^

 

[ny300z]

skiing is just skiing to people around here.

they think im just up there casually cruising down a green/blue trail repeatedly the whole time and drinking hot chocolate. And if i say i hit jumps or something they think it means i hit little bumps in the snow and catch 3-5inches of air.

not a big free skier presence on long island

 

[K-Dot.]

People think I'm tom wallice

 

[jack22-2]

me: I'm a park skier

society: so you snowboard

me: no i ski

society: oh, so you are a racer

 

[steezburgereddie]

they just assume this

 

[CaptainObvious.]

Me: I can't wait to ski.Society: Do you ski or snowboard? (looking nervous I'll say what they don't want to hear.)

Me: I ski

Society: Thank god. The young crowd needs to keep skiing alive.

Me: Yeah....but....I mean....I basically spend all my time with boarders. And I do a lot of what you don't like.

Society: Oh........so you're like a snowboarder.

Me: *slap the shit out of this asshole*

 

[casey_cope]

All the kids at my school say, "oh you ski park, thats gay." then they talk about how much better baseball and shit is.

 

[.mnr.]

this one kid from school goes, "oh, are you one of those skiers that dresses like snowboarders?" i fucking died

 

[ski0]

lol . thats actually hilarious.

this kind of stuff used to happen all the time before I moved to whistler. I think thats why people come here.

 

[appa]

"dude are those twin tips???" (i seriously never thought i'd hear that one again)

"that's sick my family has a house in deer valley so i'm pretty good"

 

[ErryB]

me-"yeah i mostly am a freestyle skiier"them-" oh so can you do a backflip and grind on that rail?'

 

[Spiri7o]

"So you do the jumps?"

 

[AHREN*]

Exact same thing happened a my school

 

[Flowbear]

This is dead on. Hahah happens every time someone asks me if I ski or snowboard.

 

[*DUMBCAN*]

If you say you ski in England this is immediately what most people think:

 

[EARL]

You can use skis in the halfpipe?

 

[AHREN*]

[deletedelete]

"can you do a black diamond?"

 

[PKchu]

This is my life in a nutshell, thank you NS community.Adding to the fire, "Where do you kids store the moguls?"

 

[stushoshi]

dude i got moved to some shit private christian school in hawaii after skiing and snowboarding for 7 yrs, think about that - the popular thing is magic n bowling now

 

[bnewbs6]

FUCKING THIS.

Everytime I tell people I compete in park and pipe I have to explain this. My usual response is. I do what shaun white does but on skis...

 

[theabortionator]

What the hell does that have to do with "Society's view on freeskiers Game"

 

[emopoppins]

lucky ass

 

[BigDog]

Apparently backflips are the most impressive and challenging trick

 

[MKeller91]

anytime I talk about skiing my friends insist that skiing is gay and snowboarding is way cooler because boarders can do tricks...face palm.

 

[NotGhood]

"so do you use those forward-backward skis?"

 

[milk_man]

My dad: "Why are you trying to dress like a snowboarder?"

Little kid watching Bobby Brown triple: "Oh...thats pretty cool but snowboarders can do like way better tricks!"

 

[whackhouse]

My Friend: "I ski a lot too, me and my friends get out like 6 times a year"Me: "I ski 4 times a week"

 

[PapDaddy]

your friends? wow you picked such a nourishing and encouraging group of kids to spend all your time with

 

[imakestickerz]

Only 4?

 

[That_One_Dude]

Watching any ski video in public, "Dude is that you?!"

 

[Shermanator]

 

[DonMac]

(One of my favorites)

Me - "I usually ski the park"Person = "Yea we head down to the state park and cross country ski every once in a while too."

 

[WU-sconsin]

They just assume you rent around me because barely anyone skis or snowboards.

 

[mike3535]

"oh so you do the big air helicopter spins, your crazy"

 

[Amarino]

When I show girls ski vids at school "oh he's cute"

 

[-W-Raich]

Kid: Wait so can you like do a backflip?me: yeah

Kid: EEERRRMEHHHHGAWWDD.. what else can you do??!!

me: cork 9s rail tricks ect

Kid: Oh...(Fucking gay)..... CAN YOU DO A DOUBLE BACKFLIP??

 

[TRASHTALK]
