Skiers dont have a stance,. there fore we can't ride switch... there is no goofy or natural  stance in skiing only in surfing,skatting and snowboarding.. please stop calling skiing backwards  switch ..  its embarresing to skiing, one of my pro skater friends Chad Fernandez asked me how the fuck is there a switch stance in skiing... that shits gay and it takes away from our sport..only in a small way but it still does.... its fakie.. in bmx going backwards is fakie, in skiing going backwards is fakie... end of story..

I think that technically you're right dude... but I'll still call switch switch and unnatural unnatural... it's not a  big deal if it's diffferent than other sports...

one of my pro skater friends said that since he is pro he can tell me to tell you to tell your friends not to say things i dont like, or he doesnt like, because i dont have thoughts, thats what he tells me anyways.

switch is easier to say than fakie or backwards.

We all knew this already.

Who the fuck cares.

yeah, I agree, fakie is a better term, but I just say switch anyway b/c I'm used to it and when i say fakie half teh people around me don't know what I'm talking about, which is frustrating

if were going by purely literal terms cab and fakie make much less sense than switch.

cab= a taxi
fakie= something that is faux

It's just a name, don't fuss over it.


Nice name drop ... it adds you soooooo much credibility.

Why don't we call it whatever we want, not just fakie because BMXers decided that was how it should be. Isn't BMX pretty unrelated to skiing anyway? Besides, your pro buddy isn't right because he's pro.

There's no stance in skiing? I beg to differ! I don't know about you, but most people I see skiing are standing up.

If you're so into proper use of grammatical terms, why cant you type in a dignified manner? Would you like me to point out every single term you used incorrectly or do you get the point? Oh and stop saying the word "skating" when referring to skateboarding, the term is "skateboarding.' If you say "skating" I will instantly assume you're going ice skating. Oh and you spelled fucking, dropping, skating, there, and you said the word seppos at the end of one of your paragraphs, all wrong. Maybe learn either some simple common sense or go to school. Learn up kid, you're a dumbass.

a lot of this stems from the fact that skiers deny skiings relation to rollerblading and rather be related to snowboarding and skateboarding.

calling it switch relates it to boardsports which fakie relates it to rollerblading.

ignorance.

shut up,  you can call it switch if you want who gives a shit, just because you know a "pro" skater doesnt mean he or you are right. find something else to bitch about

i guess this would get filed under the "snowboarding's little brother" category.

it makes sense to want to be respected by snowboarders, but if i'm riding with people who make such a big deal about something as retarded as a trick name (and a really insignificant one at that), i'll go ride with some other snowboarders who don't give a fuck.

well it's actually jibing (pronounced jibe-ing)
jibbing would be playing with the jib (front sail on a boat)
a jib is a sail. not a rail or box u faggit. those are called "slidy thingies"

Oh my fucking god. You, my acquaintance, can't spell. Not only that, you're a fucking retard. If switch is the opposite of how you normally stand in snowboarding, why can't it be that in skiing? We usually stand facing forward, why don't we call it switch when we're standing the opposite way: backwards. Also you're a huge homo for bitching about this, if YOU want some recognition stop being a fuck.

not really. the opposite of a tack is a jibe, not a jib. a jib is a smaller sail, usually found on the bow ahead of the main sail on larger boats. i got the joke tho
