TGR cringe stories

Kai Jones sucks. There’s plenty of kids who can do what he does if they have parents that can pay for him to ski everyday, private coaching, air bags and summer camps
 
He definitely doesn’t suck he just shouldn’t be presented as the hottest shit outta Jackson hole at this point in time

Not too say that he won’t keep in progressing and get even better which I’m sure he will

Yeah I mean he’s probably a nice kid and all and he’s good at skiing but Ik a ton of kids who could be better than him if they had the kinda resources he has

how much were the zootspace hats

Zoot just made one of the most entertaining movies of all time with no sponsors. They can charge whatever they want for a hat. TGR makes the same movie every year with some hefty sponsor support. Comparing these two things is criminal

Level 1 dropping some truth. Comparing TGR to Zoot is insane. It’s like looking at Line vs ON3P or something, putting those two against each other is insane.

I would imagine its difficult to progress when you've been 14 for 3 years.
 
I went into the TGR store and they were charging 60 bucks for a 5 dollar shirt

That was pretty cringe

At this point there are a lot of resources. Some people have coaches and go to summer camps, ride better parks, etc but that isn't everything.

Everyone woukd be better with more resources but it's not worth wasting time being bitter.

There are a bunch of people with crazy reources tha rip, there are also kids with nothing but a okay park, no coaching, that rip just as hard.

If you really want it in skiing, you can get pretty good without that stuff. The sport has changed a bunch but I'd try not to waste too much time on how much better you could have been if you has this or that opportunity.

Your really only as good as you are. Hypotheticals aren't really tangible. If you want to be sick at skiing but can't go to summer camp, ski fucking hard all season, build a summer setup in the off season. Ski with friends that push you. Have fun.

Also these days there's a ton of people sponsored etc that aren't going out wnning the big comps, dont have triples etc. Having sick style goes a long way, especially some unique flair you can pick up on your own.

Idk, i get it, but just make sure you don't let it suck the joy out if skiing. There will always be somebody better than you, and somebody that has way more opportunities. Easier said than done, and fortune cookie vibes, but make the best with what you've got and send it!

Don't get why NS doesnt push merch harder. Could make some sick stuff and give a way for everyone to support. Imagine the beanies, socks, etc that they could make
 
Out of the loop. Can someone explain the hate for the Jones fam? I only ask because I've only heard good things about him from my friends who snowboard.

Genuinely curious and would like to understand because he and TGR have always given me weird vibes anyway.

They say it is too expensive to sell merch. Which is wild to say, because even small-time tic tockers put out merch. Everyone has merch.

NS hates him because he won the genetic lottery of being born in to a family with that has one of the largest brands in action sports media, an uncle who is arguably one of the best snowboarders ever, and access to some of the biggest names in skiing to mentor him.

And also because he is cringe when he opens his mouth.....like every other 14 year old.

It's also cool to hate on TGR because they are not park centric in their film making.

What people fail to realize is that people who are not in to park skiing see the same thing from every park segment, just like park rats see the same thing from big mountain segments. If you put yourself in a position to enjoy both, then you can pick out the truly amazing pieces and variety of each.
 
Nah u wrong NS is core TGR is absolute garbage and everything they do should be cancelled

And I could be a Harvard educated lawyer if my parents were rich executives.

He's still good. Coaching and experience only goes so far.

Edit: ngl talking shit about a kid who is younger than you and better than you is kinda embarrassing.

So everyone was wrong for shitting on the fagans
 
That’s not cool to judge that boy like that, it’s not his fault he was born into that, I think he seems like a standup young man and a good role model for kids, only prob I have is with his parents, seems like they have that beauty pageant mentality, I worry they force him to train the way he does but I don’t know that

Dude, I think there’s around 7billion people who coulda woulda done better if they had been born into an elitist family

Maybe you should spend more time making NS more accustomed to this rather than chasing down every mention of the sego big horn

Ya kids sound cringe, so why give them time to figure out who they are and develop their speech style, teenagers just monkey see monkey do all day, but they become unique in time

I bought one of their hats at a film festival when I first moved to Tahoe. About 6 months later, I swear everyone had the hat. I even saw kids in the south wearing it when I visited my parents. That’s when I knew it was time to ditch it.

It had become an “I skied Jackson hole once” hat. It was the trucker one with the logo that kinda looks like Patagonia.

So rather than moderate trolling in threads where people are looking for help I should rail against kids perception of big mountain skiing?

Shit take.

I'm specifically talking about Kai Jones. Idgaf about the Fagan twins. They deserve what they got. The Jones kid did nothing other than being born and y'all rip on him all the time. It's either insecurity, jealousy, or both. Idk but it's definitely overkill by now.

I think people resent being handed opportunity the way it seems he was/is but that doesn't mean he isn't still a fantastic skier that I agree with.
 
You mistake or choose to call a lot of recommendations trolling just bc you are tired of seeing it, you’ve actually prevented people from getting proper recs. Bc of you, someone is on some shitty honey badgers that bout ta break any day now instead of big horns and the bighorn was better suited for what the dude wanted, but noooo bc as soon as someone says big horn your tiny little pecker shrivels up in its shell and your angry lil brain thinks meme so fuck u dick, what happen your girl see a rams dick while you were touring now you got ptsd, lady leave you for a ram? Or she calls the new guy big horn ??
