We can do whatever the fuck we want! Thats the beauty of living in the free world, its called self expression.
I just hate when people act like sheep, really makes me lose respect. ex. At my old hill there are a few snowboarder kids, good guys and really chill. Once last year I heard these guys, and this is basically a quote although its not exact, say they would "never" wear tight pants. That it was stupid and you would never catch them in them. So I was looking at pics of them this season and guess what. TIGHT PANTS!
As it turns out some pro shred who wears tight pants came for a comp, and the next week they were all dressing exactly like him. The friend who told me about it said it was ridiculous how quick they all changed over.
Moral is, do what YOU want, but if you just do it because someone else does, you are a silly sheep and deserve any flaming you get.
