You know your addicted to skiing when...

...you drive around Tampa looking at rails. The Tampa International Mall has some nice ones. The St. Pete Times Forum and The Tampa Bay Convention Center too.
 


u find a smooth urban rail, and try 270 out on shoes by jumping of it.

u walk in ur skiing gear when u are home at lone, just to see how cool it looks on you.

u dream aboute a siick line or park or wining x-games. (when you sleeps)

u think aboute skiing most of your free time and school time.

u put ur skiis on and try new grabs and name them.

and when u imagine how good the jump you are going to make at home will be :)

(sorry my english)

 
haha yes!
or when after the first snow of the year you find yourself in the middle of the yard with all your ski gear on and skis on just standing in the 1/2 in of new snow so you can remember what it feels like after a long summer of being on ns and watching ski movies
 
you're too engrossed in powder to realize that you've been on the bus to school for an extra 20 minutes.
 
when your entire ski setup is brand new and cost you more than your girlfirends wedding ring :O

(a buddy of mine)
 
Every single time you go online the first and last things you look at will be NS, ski edits, or ski websites looking for more skis/outerwear.

You look at every bit of scrap wood or poles you see lying around and picture building them into a jib setup.
 
once your mountain is opened ur skis are always in there car.

or you talk to your skis when there in your car.

you stop talking to the people that don't ski.

you get pissed if you've gone more than two days without skiing.

when i you wish that roads are covered with snow, so they might be skiable.
 
you're constantyl looking for handrails and your friends think your fuckin weird becasue it's just a handrail
 
When you swear at the weather man cause he complains about the cold.

I see lines everywhere in the mountains around town.

I ditched hangin out with my friend and seeing a hockey game to ski crappy snow one day.

You make piecewise function graphs that look like JOI jumps.

When you use NS terminology and the person you’re talking to is confused.
 
yea, no one gets the ns terminology

when someone asks what your favorite movie is you say YEAH DUDE, or any other good ski movie, then they ask when did that movie come out, or what is it about
 
yeahhh my mom wont let me get a pass because of grades at the end of last year... its gonna be an expensive season
 
Awesome thread.

Cancelling your cable subscribtion becuase you only watch ski movies

Driving to your local hill in the summer 'just to look at it'

Sounds like everyoe else does the random "I'm going to put on all my gear for awhile and just chill" goggles helmet and all

You feel empty and uncomfortable during the rare times you don't have a package from BC, SAC Tramdock etc on it's way to you

All summer long your skis aren't put away, they're leaning against the wall by the front door as if you're going skiing in a day or two

Your floor has weird marks on it cause you've been walking around in your boots again

Staying in and tuning your skis on a Friday night. Ok that's just lame! lol guess I'm lame

 
You shuffle around your dorm hallways and lounge on your Hellbents. People give you strange looks, and you start ranting about the sunshine outside the windows.
 
when even your mom knows who tanner hall and tom wallisch is now, she knows the tricks you can do, and about rails and everything because most of the time even the conversation wiht your mom includes skiing!!! you just can't stop

haha my mom knows all about rails, urban, pipe, comps etc... i jsut cant stop myself!

when you start jibbing your couch, stairs, anyhting jibbable aroudn the house

when you drive around see a rail thats pretty much impossible and imagine how it'd b to hit it

if you have gone skiing pre-season when 3-4 inches is "enough" for you to slide to a rail.

when you've written about skiing in several essays, (I've even done several projects wiht skiing)

when by this time a year you'd rather go in a coma for the next month and wake up when lifts open

when you have been at least once one of the 1st ones to get on the chair lift or one of the last ones. (I've been the 1st one and the last one on the same day haha its sad.)

 
when you listen to music and think about how sick that song would sound in an edit...or how sick it would be to ski to....

when your binder is tagged with every ski company logo

worst is when your girlfriend tells you your up sesed(SP)
 
"Yesterday, I bought some DILDOS to ELIZABETH"

When you're a true skier you think:

"SICK ! you just got the new Coreupt bindings for your skis !"

When you're a gaper you think:

"Why the fuck would you buy a sex toy for this random girl called Elizabeth?"
 
awesome thread!!!
when you are meeting someone for the first time and the first thing you ask is if they ski
when you jib everything in sight with your feet
when you walk around in the woods by your house just to find sick places to ski
when you use ns language and no one gets what youre talking about
when you call your best friend every other day to go on his trampoline
when you break your hand trying to frontflip off of a picnic table
 
when you ruin a £220 pair of skates by screwing some pvc pipes to the side and wearing ankle weights just hoping they feel like skis and trying 2 hit hand rails with them

well thats what i do anyway :)
 
whe you try and do homework but find yourself stuck on ns....so you say okay every three question i answer.. ill repley to ONE thread..but then you get stuck again..
 
when you dream about it, like actually have dreams while your sleeping where you feel like things are actually happening to you and wake and be like dagggg it was just a dream, ski dreams are the best, the most recent one i had i was sessioning the huge timberline jump they do evry year, waking up was bittersweet.
 
when every page of your school agenda has a newchoolers logo.

when every page of your maths book has a NS logo

when you draw you backyard with your skiing dream set of handrails

when the videos on your ipod are only skiing video

when every says that you are weird because every discussion you got with them arent related with skiing but you end talking about ski
