Why do you need goggles on in the grocery store?

Why are you driving with your helmet on?

How can you drive in your ski boots?
 
I wear my helmet skiing and not whole driving but I’ve always wondered: Do you think wearing a helmet is more valuable while skiing or while driving on i70?

every time I get in the car and take it off I’m like “good, now that I’m done skiing at a moderate pace in control on a soft surface I’ll take off my helmet to sit in a metal box next to other metal boxes moving at 75mph while texting”

I watched like 30 seconds of this video and lost brain cells once, still never recovered
 
Keep it under like 30 driving in ski boots and u will be fine. I live 5 min from my local hill so I’ve always done it in ski boots. It’s just a feeling thing Bc you can’t actually feel ur feet on the pedals. Also picking ur foot up and down comes from ur hip.

Distance has nothing to do with it??? Pushing the clutch all the way in is impossible with ski boots. It's possible to shift without the clutch but its hard and really bad for your transmission

LOL you're admitting to driving around in ski boots like that's something to be proud of. You're just a fucking tool.

Added safety with my Mips on.

I have driven a manual with ski boots on. It's far easier than you think.

tried moving forward a couple feet in the lot the other day with boots on... couldn't even get the clutch far enough down to get into gear lol
 
I can drive my car in my touring boots without a problem, I don’t do it often but if it’s freezing at the trailhead I’ll drive home in my boots damn near every time.

maybe in the States. old world people in the Alps love stick shift cars. our streets are tighter than your (immaginary) GF and steeper than the Rambo double black at Crested Butte

Not even "old world people", literally nearly everybody drives manual in Europe especially in the Alps. Looks cooler as well as more practical

yeah but it's changing here too... people tend to buy more automatic since a couple of years (my dad also joined the lazy side).

But like you said it is super pracitcal. I love to pass automatic cars stuck in like an inch of snow with my old ass VW bus with front wheel drive and stick

I think that dude walking in the supermarket is a bigger flex... ski boots and slick supermarket floors dont mix well.

Good point. I like to use my ski poles to operate the pedals and my skis through the steering wheel, that way I can drive from the back seat where there's the dvd player
 
It's the damn mountainbikers I see every day driving around with their helmets on. Come on buddy, I see that dangling chinstrap, you don't need to be showing off that you ride when you have 8 grand of dental income hanging off the back of your tesla. Boggles my mind every time.
 
Well, you come off the mountain and realize you left your Rhotos back at home. So you need to snag another bottle from Kum and Go but a quick glance at the mirror and you eyes are basically bleeding. So there you are, in need of some cracked out eye drops to get down I-70 but your going to look like a goober walking in the door cashed out and make it even worse by ONLY buying cracked out eye drops. So you sit there for a min in this shit chicken and egg situation and suddenly see your goggles on the dash. You skied in goggles and your up in the mountains so it natural right??? So you go in with your ski goggles and look 100% more like a goober than if you just rolled in as is with everyone staring at you. Then you grab the Rhotos and a Gatorade to cover your tracks, somehow manage to pay for it and get the hell out of there. Only once the door closes behind you that you realize in your haste you forgot to grab the Rhotos off the counter and there is no way in hell you are going back in there in your ski goggles again so you say 'Fuck it' and swig your Gatorade and bail. Then you get home and realize you had your goggles on the entire ride back and the Rhotos were actually in your glove box under some napkins.

All the hate on BoT is so funny. I helped think of a few of the ideas for this video. Don’t hate because we get that YouTube $$ and you’re a better skier than us. A few pros we’ve met respect our shit and spreading ski hype to more people.
 
I will 100% wear goggles in inappropriate places if I spaced my sunglasses. My baby blues can't handle shit for sun. I need to live in the pnw not this 3o0 dAyS a YeAr oF SuNsHiNe :) desert bullshit

fruits look way more colorful and fresher through Prizm, so they basically safe you money, cause you can eat rotten fruit and don't have to buy fresh ones
