The best gaper quotes

circa 2005 as I'm going for my first rail, taking a few falls, "skiers can't do rails, that's why it's a snowboard park"
People watching the small park "those guys are crazy"

 
Um if some weird kid comes up and ask to ski with you would you let him? Yeah so we let him. Then he he just kept talking like he was all that and was so good at everything yet could barely 3 a small jump... So yes we kinda ditched him.
 
A couple weeks ago my brother was asked if it was safe to wear mirrored lenses cause you can't see out of them
 
today on a pow day, I saw 2 kids (obvious nsers) that stayed in the park all day, complained that the powder was making the inruns for the rails slow and could barely make it down the black diamond run to get to the park. I almost cried.
 
it happens at my mountain too sometimes. i got hit with one and it hurt so much so my older brother took it snapped it against his knee then threw the remainders of the pole in the woods. besides the fact of getting hit with a pole, it was hilarious and the kid start flipping out.
 
SAME! if they instantly called their mom or dad being like MOMMY, DADDY this mean kid snapped my pole after i threw it at them!! can you buy me knew cool ones? parents: OF COURSE!
 
Summary of the thread:
"Oh one time this kid with his goggles outside his helmet said to me: dude you must be pro, because you can do a whirlybird and your skis are water skis so i skied away from him
i don't think i'm a dick."
 
maybe its just me but i dont even see what's funny about losing a pole, let alone losing a pole while hurting someone. people do the stupidest shit.
 
haha i used to say the same thing when i was like 5 that boxes were for skiers and rails were for snowboarders because you cant go straight on a rail. i used to be a HUGE gaper
 
talking about whistler, he proceeds to say "whistler has a quadrouple black"

me: theres no such thing, theres only a few triple blacks and theyre just for marketing

him: its not on the trail map, its for the people training for the olympics

me: (to avoid argument) oh!
 
Building a kicker on a rail by a school, 3 girls walk by. I was trying to be nice

Girl 1: What you doing?

Me: Building a jump onto this rail so I can slide down it.

Girl 2: That's dangerous [I turn my music up] more words

Girl 1: You're gonna wreck your snowboard, because that thing's, like, metal...

Me: First off I ski. Second snowboarding's for little bitches. And Third I can always fix them or get a new pair.

Girl 1: Why don't you skate on ice?

Me: Ummm... I don't play hockey anymore, so I don't really got a use for it.

Girl 1: Why are you skating on snow?

Me: SKIING.

Girl 1: I know. Why don't you skate on ice. Skates don't work on snow.

Girl 3: Tasha! S-k-i-i-n-g.

Girl 2: [face palm]

They wandered off over to the school to get some books or something, and I had to pass them to get my skis out of my truck. I think the one girl was semi retarded or something, cus she managed to drag me into the exact same coversation.
 
im on the lift and this snowboarder is hitting one of the jumps in the park. he lands in the middle of the table and just explodes... yells back to his friend and says " don't hit it this jump sucks"

I'm 19 and they were probably under 16. I got no intention of meeting some guy named Bubba (not including James Stewart)

I might dig out my jock shorts for next time. I think I popped my urban cherry.
 
Life gaper story. In chemistry class we were playing a fucked up version of jeopardy that we had to write the answer on the board. I wrote really fast and sloppy and won it, and this kid called me out and said "what is that, hebrew?" and this dumb bitch said "is hebrew that stuff for blind people?"
 
That kind of kids are the worst gapers... they might be able to 270 on switchup 450 out, but they can't make a few steep turns to a cliff drop or straightline a narrow chute. What's worse is they give you shit for sketchily sliding a flat bar without any fancy twirly-loops on the way back to the chairlift...
 
Yeah I know, I hate kids that do that shit.

And it's not really a quote, but I saw some kid who must've been like 9 or so have his dad buy him a pair of Line Pin poles that went up past his shoulders... And I'm not sure either of them knew it was possible to cut them down.
 
I broke my humerus a couple weeks ago, more than a few times people come up to me and ask me what I did and I'll say I fell in the park skiing. They'll answer "Snowboarding?"
 
i teach ski lessons and i swear every other day i hear "skiers don't ski pipe" and "rails are for snowboarders" and "my mom says skiers can't go in the park".

I actually got mad at a parent once who told me that her kid was going to fallow the rules and not sneak into the park like all the other skiers do.

what have these parents done to their children?
 
simple answer- brain washed them back to the past where it was called a snowboarding park that skiers couldnt go into.
what a boring time for skiers....
 
this one is 4 realz though. They could literally not get down the black diamond, but could 270 on and do switchups and stuff. It was weird.
 
Gaper kid: "Wow, you look like a pro"Me: "I am" (beeing sarcastic)Kid: "You know how to backflip?"Me: "No, I only do triple corks"Kid: "What's that?"Me: "Just the sickest trick ever"Kid: (Kid wiggles his eyes for a bit, then akward silence and he skis off)Me: I yell at him as he is skiing away; "I was just kidding, but yeah, I know how to backflip"Kid: (Suddenly stops and starts stumbling up the hill towards me)Kid: "OMG, are you sponsored?"
 
in scotland the resorts are not huge but are still really good but still some people are like 'you can ski in scotland!!!?' it really annoys me!
 
When I have a gopro and people say "What is it" some kid though it was a phone....also when your filming and a kid goes in front of your shot and asks you "Are you filming pros?"
 
gaper: Don't you hate that thing in the middle of the jump? It blocks me from doing it..

me: (Look at the rail... *sigh, then ski away)
 
i dont think thats a gaper quote... only because they are obviously trying to get better, and i have asked people how to do tricks when im stuck
 
I always un do my boots in the que at the lifts and i always get

gaper: 'your boots are undone'

me: 'yeah i know i undid them...'

gaper: 'can you still ski like that?'

me: 'oh dear.'

think its fair to say this boy nas nay common sense...
 
So my buddy is not really a gaper, but he used to be sponsored for racing.

This one day at whis, we built a pow jump which everyone was flipping, so my buddy gets on top of it for his last hit and says:"Ok, im gonna try one of those things... I don't know what its called but im gonna do it!". A whole second into the air, he turns his body into a lincon loop/flatspin and opens up, lands on his head and breaks his pole. hes still alive if your wondering.

Never let your racer friends try tricks unless you want them to die.
