I guess this isn't the case at all mountains tho
14477077:Farmville420 said:I mean you are right and I do know about the history of the sport. This isn't exclusive to snowsports though, I've been to skateparks where people have their toddlers on plastic scooters and middleschoolers are driving RC cars off of the ramps. It's annoying in general but it is part of the process of extreme sports become more commonplace in society. Plus we all start somewhere, everyone was a dumbass kid in the park at one point, even when the parks were boarder only, the difference is now more people are in the park because more people are participating in the sport.
And yeah I've never seen a snowboard only park in my lifetime, every mountain I ever skied had skier park crew members so I'm alienated from that world. But yes it is annoying when young kids and families show up to the park and get in the way but sometimes thats just a factor of not having a baby park. At carinthia we had a grom park for kids and beginners and 99% of the time they would hang there, the small/medium park Nitro was 50/50, but if you went to the Large or Extra Large parks (Gulch and Inferno) literally no beginners or familys would be there. Do you ride a small hill with only one park cuz then I could understand where the frustration comes from.

But I mean it doesn’t bother me so it’s just “meh”

come at me
14477171:chumbawumba said:"swerve skiers" as they are often referred to, are the worst sub species of skier on the mountain
often stoned dudes in balaclavas, hoodies, and bibs (even if the weather permits otherwise), dragging their fingers on the ground while attempting to do super G turns, on their park skis, are so fucking cringe
look uphill if ur gonna make that wide/quick of a turn, not to mention your form is ass 90% of the time, and your going 30-40 mph max, you look so fucking dumb
like is that honestly fun? skiing without poles and dragging your mitten on the ground every single chance you get?
it hurts to watch, and you are all most definitely virgins
we need to bring back bullying

so do we collectively hate vishnu now ?
i still see vishnu shit everywhere at my local hill

14476748:chumbawumba said:my hot take of the day
park/urban skiing culture is lame:
tall t's, gold chains, trap music, etc - does not fit aesthetically with watching generally well off white kids huck their meat into snow/rails. It hurts to watch. yall need to improve your feel for cinematography. there is so much better fitting music / gear, to go with what you are doing. Skiing is one of the least gangster activities, trying to act like it is is just painful to watch.
i understand this is a generalization, and there are plenty of great park/urb skiers doing something different, but this sort of shit being the norm is just cringe.
that being said, the alternative to this does not mean jesper drip edits, with a mumford and sons song. this is also bad
i know imah piss a lot of old heads/ as well as the gen z off with this. but the gangster/baggy era was/is straight cringe, this shit needs to die

14477394:Bitchskier420 said:Psychoactiv was the most garbage street skiing edit I’ve ever seen.
I watch pretty much every edit that comes out before the season starts and this edit was so so terrible, think I saw about 4 tricks in the whole edit
BRUD and oski are dope skiers but this is the best they can do? 2 years in the street for a couple of ski slides
why do people continue to back these dude. Arsenic, level 1, on3p are all extremely dope companies but why are they supporting these guys

14477384:chumbawumba said:its not even a hatred towards rap. i listen to plenty
i just cringe when kids act hard in edits. its wack. rap just does not work in most ski videos IMO, of course there are exceptions (ahmet eye trip)
but watching fucking torin yater wallace or somebody of that nature ski half pipe to a song about selling crack is difficult to watch. there are so many better song choices to make a watchable edit
