[arnie_grape]

using gear your favourite skier has won't make you ski like him

You don't have to have balls to be a skier.... But you do

That doing pizza is for beginners/gapers

 

[Theskiingguy]

If you french fry when you're supposed to pizza you're going to have a bad time....

 

[Brocka_Flocka]

Being good in the park doesn't necessarily mean you are a good skier.

 

[will-blackwell]

that because you can ski park, you are a good skier

 

[Heart]

[Aiur]

Steve Stepp isn't the green goblin.

[gabew34]

People who ski and snowboard sucked at one and tried the other to see if they were good at something but they end up sucking at both.

 

[samcomai]

if you look like a loser in the park just remember that all really good skiers were once that bad.

 

[shred.stickz]

That being sponsored makes you good at skiing.

 

[dan1080]

backflips are hard, boxes are easier than rails, you don't need a good technical foundation before going in the park

 

[K-Dot.]

Being good in the park doesn't necessarily mean you are a good skier.

And inversely, just because you like park doesn't mean you're a shit skier that can't ski everywhere else.

 

[elm.]

that snowboarders can do more tricks on rails than skiers

 

[geosom]

That ski racing is gey

 

[Aenomaly]

You can't ski better just because you wear XXL clothes.

 

[eheath]

Real talk, skiers don't make that much money and neither do filmers or really any companies based solely around skiing.

haha classic switch over kids. so true. Also second one is so true as well. To many young kids coming up on the park with no foundations of actual skiing. Especially on the east coast.

 

[Erikgorn]

Wearing Saga makes you good

 

[toastyteenagers]

Skiers can't do the tricks snowboarders can do.

Yes we can.

Plus we have a few tricks borders can't do.

Lincoln loop(probably), cosack, iron cross, plus you can do wizard tricks if your andy parry

Snowboarders can lincoln loop. If you're going by body, and not direction, that's wildcat/tamedog. If you're going by direction of movement, it's frontflip/backflip.

Also, I'm pretty sure snowboarders can't really 2 pretz 2, 2 pretz 4, 4 pretz 2, etc.

 

[hi_vis360]

boxes are easier than rails

so true, I just feel completely out of control on most boxes plus they have so much more potential to be slightly broken or uneven

Misconception: All NSers know what the word misconception means

 

[Ski_The_E]

You shouldn't be skiing on 'twintips' unless you're in the park going backwards and upside down.
