Stop copying snowboarders!!

Ok lately this has been really pissing me off. Now i understand that we get a lot of ideas from snowboarders but we don't need to copy their every action goddammit. For example, in the booter crunk teaser (which i have to admit was sweet) all the guys were doing those tree tap things. Those are sweet and all and a new thing being done on skis. But honestly, we need our own ski vocabulary (why would we copy the way the idiots talk?!!?), our own ski tricks and our own ski IDEAS. C'mon guys we're better than this and we need to show it. Everyone start posting ideas you have about new tricks and and grinds and any shit like that everywhere so we can get the word for new tricks out. Try things that snowboarders don't do. I'm not saying snowboarding is a bad sport without style or anything but skiing is skiing. Come up with some fucking new ideas. Like that soul plate idea for example even though that idea really sucked at least they tried. In fact go ahead and post any ideas you have for any aspect of skiing here. Lets get this started. I don't wanna here any of this 'revolution' bullshit til we actually start revolutionizing. We have been inspired to get a ton of tricks from snowboarding but it's time to move on and make skiing more original. Otherwise we'll go just back to where we started only with cooler clothes and snowboard tricks.

Put an end to this bullshit, were skiers not snowboarders.

hahaha, lead the revolution my friend. what you need to realize is that snowboarding and skiing are nearly two in the same.

and more, much more than this, I did it my way

'So you're a skier?'

'No, I prefer to refer to myself as a double boarder'
 
i say we name everything after different types of foods

You can crotch Grind on rails.

Snowboarders can't spread their legs like that.

yeah um, snowboarders were doing alot of the shit first, so they get that right to name it. just like chads is named after a skier but even snowboarders use that name. besides, I, and probably alot of others, ski with alot of snowboarders, and having two names for the same thing gets confusing. imagine if every language based its words off eachothers, in effect making every word a cognate, wouldn't that make learning new languages easier? same concept here, dont overly complicate things.

So you would rather call a backside lipslide something like a 'backwards reverse skier slide' or some stupid shit.

Using one universal name for the sports works much better.

I am yet to see one post from you that doesn't piss me off.

lanks: We have been honored to copy snowboarders but it's time to move on. We need to start coming up with some new shit.

 
I really feel what you are saying. I think we are starting to copy snowboarders' style gradually. I do honestly think that snowboarding is leaps and bounds beyond us in just about every category. Their movies are sicker, their clothing is better, and usually, their tricks have so much style.

Even though skiing has been around for ages, our aspect of the sport is brand new. As we get more talented skiers, more influence from different types of people, we will evolve our own style. I think we are headed in the right direction.

I just think skiers should do what they want, and stop trying to look and act like their favorite pro skier (not that pro skiers are bad or anything). I like kids like Tanner who really did something different.... he fused urban lifestyle with an alpine sport.... I think that is so rad.

Ski for the fun of it, not just to look cool to other people on your mountain. i love Peter Olenick's approach to skiing... he just kind of acts goofy, and has rediculous hair, and is kind of lurpy, but he has so much fun, and makes others want to do what he does. That is admirable.

'Ear me nah, bloodclot lickle rude bwai, nahmesay, ya knaw?
 
chill, chill, chill man. the progression will come. our sport has and will continue to evolve. however, this isn't something you can force and it is not going to happen overnight.

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.
 
Thank you MHfreeriderD. Couldn't have said it better myself. I ski with snowboarders all the time and we definitely need to keep the tricks we have with the same names. I just really think skiers aren't thinking as independently as they could be. lests just start coming up with more of our own ideas. THANK YOU to everyone who made intelligent posts.

 
'skiing is gay' sad but true.

and for some reason when you leave trick names up to skiers you get... 'dinner roll','daffy','iron cross','helicoptor'.. I could go on but I dont really want to, you kids need to relax and realize that skiing is just skiing and trick names arnt gonna change how cool you are if you can do them.. unless its a dinner roll because if you can do that then you can do anything.

This is a very gay post, who cares if we use ythe same words as some boarders, it's allowed... Skier's don't need their own damn language just to seperate from snowboaders. I dont have a problem w/ them, only the snow plowing bithces

i don't know man. i don't think there is anything wrong with copying snbrding because it is a sport that has tons of respect and tons of killer athletes pushing it in the right direction. take at look at x games stuff, winning run in pipe had so many spins it was rediculous. 2 fs 10's and only one straight air...then skiing it was dumont busting his 20 feet stuff, personally i think the snwbrder run was way radder and i would prefer to see skiing go the way of style and tech diff rather then gigantor hits.plus just because a snbrd jibbed a tree first doesn't mean when we do we are trying to copy them. jibbing a tree is rad and anyone creative enough could have figured that out..it just might have happened to be a border. i think it is tottally the right thing to follow snbrding path especially because the guys leading the sport aren't idiots like tanner.

why dont you post a new trick you fucking clown, instead of bitching about it

what it comes down to is that most snowboarders are more creative than skiers.

i snowboard but i watched a snowboarding/skiing vid with a pal of mine and the skiers looked way sicker.. although the snowboard grinds were better.

 
you are definitely right in a lot of ways we gotta diversify a little more but when it comes down to jibbing things its not like theres more things to jib

weve alreday been jibbing a lot of the things that are possible to jib on and the only things we can progress on are doing the things that seem more crazy to us like getting an unnatural ten the day i see that out of a skier im hoping it will be before a snowboarder and itll make every more and more excited about the sport but i really think that some of the things are impossible to go down a different route with but we just gotta keep getting more and more creative to progress it even more in our own way of doing it and when that happens skiing will be so much more sick that it already is

 
i agree with lanks, snowboarding is cooler accept it, if the tricks are the same and skiers can do them then boarders usually give props, which mean we dont need to get new trick names or any of that bullshit seperating our selves from snowboarders more makes us come off less cool......respect gets respect.....

i think snowboarders r usually smoother then skiers, but i think corked on skis and switch on skis is way cooler then on a snowboard. and the skiing progression is already there, there are a ton of tricks snowboards cant to the skiers r doing. for example one footer grinds and i dont care what ppl say one footer grinds r way cool and way technical

 
if you do a 1 footed grind on a snowboard you get props

if you do a 1 footed grind on skis you get called gay

As long as we stay away from rollarblading its all good

Thats so stupid all Xtreme sports have roughly the same trick names! Quit possibly becuz the tricks are the same. Should we not call 360s -360s? Stupid thread sports are the same in basic terms lets progress together. And if we are goin to get technical skiers were doin backflips and 360 long before the snowboard was even around. So write a letter to all snowboarders tellin them they cant do 3s or flips becuz we could do them first, or just get a life.

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.
