That wanker clip gets 4000 likes???

Clips with selfie stick are all bad. One cannot ski properly while trying to film one's self.

LOL you care how many likes someone's video gets? Kids like you are so fucking pathetic.

New ski clothing trends are wack.

Why is everyone wearing some ugly parachute pants with a ultra short trash bag puffer jacket?

I mean everyone has their own taste but even my dad has more steeze on the hill than that.

I’ma stick to my 4xl jiberish and saga jackets from 10 years ago cuz style has only gone down hill since then.

As much as I agree that there are some silly pants out there these days that will look dumb as hell in like 3 years, I’m glad that park skiing has a unique look again. During the tall t era you could identify park skiers immediately. The same thing is happening now, you see enormous pants and a fitted jacket and you know it’s a park skier. It’s better for the community to stand out rather than blend in with the rest of skiers

I feel this, it's refreshing seeing something unique surrounded by dull colors and flylow.

It's ok if you like to watch videos of dudes moaning whilst getting sprayed in the face. I'm sometimes surprised by how many people enjoy that kind of thing, but there's no reason for you to feel insecure about it. You do you.
 
my swap combo tier list with explanations

S - Ray Charles: hard to do, looks cool af, requires a lot of commitment on anything other than a fat tube.

B - K-fed: has a backside spin out which is a plus, and super fed is a top tier trick. Easy to do but possible to make look very cool.

C - Britney: Backswaps are cool but f2s are usually lame so the trick looks very average as a result. Super britney is much better

F - Ellen: Frontside pretzels look like shit 99% of the time and this trick is easy as hell to boot. Can only look good with full 90 degree swaps but even then it's way worse than the others.
 
People who wear headphones while patrolling are absolute fucking dogshit. Extremely disrespectful. Do your job. I can't believe that is even allowed.

Updating this to say that if you have swag then all of your tricks will look good

this man may or may not be getting secretly

made fun of by everyone younger than him

To be honest I don't really follow trends or dress for people younger than me to think i'm cool, I just do it for me.

To each their own, that's the fun part about skiing.

Also I don't care what kind of fit someone has, you can tell who's a good skier regardless of their style. Doesn't matter.

Max Hill is one of the steeziest skinny mafk on this planet. I wish i could be cool like him one day.
 
I kinda am tired of grandvalira slvsh cups ngl. The park is so rinse and repeat if that makes sense. Obviously the riding is sick and I'm glad they make a slvsh cup happen but it seems really repetitive

That's because you don't give a shit about park skiing.

park city effect
 
Agreed. It’s so many games to watch on the same few rails. I still love watching but yeah it would be way more interesting games if they switched up the locations

This feels like a hatertake but I agree. Would rather see a game at Bush or something, the setup at grandvalira seems a little basic. Proper, but basic.

Still gonna watch every game tho
 
This year they've got some wicked cool rails that no one seems to hit in the games which is a shame.

Explain yourself. I love my flylow bibs and they were cheap
Click to expand...

my flylow bib is hella steezy I never bothered figuring out how to tighten the straps so it's so baggy now (xL), I have to pull them up like 3 inches to use the zipper to piss lmao.
 
People who ride with speakers playing loud are the most based riders. We're all just living in their world. ?
