if a few people need to be willing to look "like a fucking tool", in order for this sport to start to allow people to dress different from one another, rather than just different versions of their friends, then who cares.
isn't freeskiing about like, rebellion? on some level? or some shit? isn't the reason you're in this sport because you like the creativity and freedom it allows you to go about on a daily basis? which includes the fun it allows you to have?
wait!
YES!
YES IT IS!
HOLY FUCK GUYS!
EPIPHANY!! RIGHT THURR!
I don't care who you are or what stature you have, but if you have no respect for creativity or at least appearing somewhat different, then freeskiing is not for you. You're going to spend your entire existence trying to fit into something you'll never understand. And in turn, YOU will be the one looking "like a fucking tool."
