The best gaper quotes

too many gaper comments about GoPro to remember.

Most of them think they only take pictures and I tell them that's right so they shut up
 
Talking to this girl after school, and we start talking about some other kids at school

She says "so watt about so and so, i heard he's really good"

"yeah, he can 9"

"wait he can spin around 9 times in the air??"
 
me nd my friends stopped by this gymnast place that has all kinds of foam pits and tramps to see if we could do an opn gym sort of thing.my friend- is there any kind of open gym here so we can practice our flips for skiing?woman-you mean snowboarding?my friend- no.... skiingwoman- ummmm idk
 
Over heard two kids talking at the top of the park...One was a skier...the other was on a carver board.

Skier:"What trick should I do off the jump?"

SNB:"I don't know...there are not many things you can do on skis unless you start spinning. How bout a back scratcher?"

Skier: "Nah, back scratchers are too easy.

Skier: (Proceeds to "Lui Kang" grab off the jump.)

All the while I'm waiting to drop. :)

Also...On the lift with old gaper dude (pretty nice guy tho)

Gaper:"Is there an event going on over in that course? (Pointing to the beginner park where there were a bunch of five year olds side jumping.)

Me:"No I dont think so...)

Gaper:" Is that course just for boarders?

Me:"No....(I then start to laugh because a gaper just ate shit off a jump to my right.)
 
i dont see how this is a gaper quote. if i bring my caylors and we end up taking a park run, i dont hit any rails.

also need to mention that if i have my park skis, im pretty good at rails, just i dropped 900 on a pow set up, and dont want to ruin the bases with rails
 
i have a friend who basically stopped racing. This one day he was called to fill in for some guy. He beat them all on K2 revivals...

a few friends and i built a jump at crystal in early season. These hard core gapers were sessioning it with us and they kept doing turns down the run in, it got really anoying because they ruined the jump. Anyway, one of them tells me the most devastating story i have ever heard. His dad was hard core christian and the kid brought home a pair of hellbents, the dad chopped them in half with a power saw and did not pay the kid back or anything.
 
I don't know any quotes, but there is a shit load of gapers that simply ride down a set of stairs instead of hitting the rails.
 
i was on the chair with two kids who were talking and they looked down at some people taking carve turns on a groomer and looks at his little gaper buddy and says "why are they taking turns there arent any bumps" this kid thought that unless there are bumps on the run you dont take turn. classic
 
we have one stair set at springs accessible by ropetoe that ive seen gapers lap just to ride down the stairs...they think the the point of the feature
 
yes, i deffinatly agree with that. i'm usually nice to them. it's just when they get in my way in the park is when i get agrivated
 
To be honest a good portion of the ski community who isn't (aren't?) on any type of ski forum website like NS or TGR have never heard of Chad's.
 
99% of gapers are out skiing because they enjoy the sport! They may not have the same drive as a nser does but they definitely love skiing!
 
I've recently lost patience for gapers at Grouse, in Vancouver. Haha there's a large portion of riders who are very obviously on their first legs trying the sport, and I have run out of imaginable ways for them to continue to get in the way.. Everywhere! I know it's not a quote but if you ski Grouse you know what I'm talking about :P
 
Saw a few kids take their skis off say "Oh there's a ski rack," put them on a flat box (which is next to Cobra Dogs in PC), and get in line for food.

and i saw at least 3 people at different times sitting on the start of some down boxes, thinking they were seats.
 
something about those stairs,, gapers can't stay away. it's a proven scientific phenomenon
at northstar i saw some gapers climb up and pose for a picture on a hitchpost-log jib. there were some pissed off snowboarders..
 
today i was on the lift over the park and this little kid went off the lip of a rail and then goes on a small quarter pipe and procedes to eat shit falling backwards. he gets up and yellls to his friend "i just did a SICK jump"
 
was teaching a class a few days back, when we got to the top of the carpet lift this kid grabs a pair of poles. i tell him he doesn't need them yet. he refuses to put them down insisting " they make me faster".
 
the WORST one I get is from some of the people in my school when I talk to them about trick skiing. I asked a kid if he had twin tips and he said yeah sort of. I looked at his skis and they were rossi race skis but the backs of the skis were curved up maybe 1/2 an inch. He's actually pretty cool, he hits urban on dfd with them, so I gave him my shitty solly foils with 9 din binders until he can buy his own.
 
Not really a gaper quote today but funny nonetheless. Today I was going up the lift with a kid who was probably about 10 and he said he was from Hawaii. Anyway, as we go up the lift, a squrrel runs across the run below us. He frickin yells "OH MAH GOD IT'S A RABBIT! I thought he was kidding, but he was totally sincere.
 
my mom's friends always ask me "so do you like snowboarding? (becuase of my baggy clothing) I say "I actually ski." them:oh........ them: so do you go in the fun park?
 
Not really,

a quote but it involves a bit of gaper.

French Alps, Avoriaz just waiting for the big six seater at the bottom of the

resort, standing next to a French dude with a helmetcam and a woman with kid

(like nine or so). I ask him about his helmet cam, he replied to me that he was

so stoked to get some footage, he just got it.

A few moments later, it is our turn to board the chair, we slide forward and

sit down and almost instantly, and this woman slams down the bar with

incredible strength. However, the Frenchman was leaning forward a bit so she

smashed of his helmet cam and it went flying through the air and landed in the

thick pow.

Moreover, when we got to the top we wanted to pull the bar up but she kept it

down saying "it wasn't safe" She basically made the lifty stop the lift at the and then she pulled the bar

up. Liftie was seriously pissed and verbally abused her in French.

When we went to search for the camera (i sort of saw were it landed) we found

out that one of the lifties at the bottom had already got it, and he gave it to

the French guy.

I feel sorry for the kid to have a mom like that.

SPARKNOTES:

Woman nocked helmet cam off with lift bar - She would not pull up the bar at

the end unless the lift was stopped. - Liftie verbally abused her in French -

Camera was found by other liftie.

 
duhh... long time ago when i learnt frontflips, i did them all day, lots of gapers watching next to jump. Then i get up, and one of those gapers ask me; '' can you do a frontflip?''....
 
amen haha

yesterday i was coming in hot, disastering the flat down and there were three kids standing right past the lip, beside the flat. i motioned for them to get out of the way so i didnt have to avoid the rail, and in their attempt to move they all fell over in one big tangled mess of gaper
