Gangsta image

Ok, so this has been bothering me for some time. What the hell does the gangsta image have to do with skiing whatsoever? Everytime I go into the park I see about 20 teenyboppers dressed in oversized hoodies, bandannas, and flat brimmed sideways backward hats trying to talk like their favorite rapper that they saw on mtv last night. My question is why?? What does this have to do with skiing?? These are rich suburban white kids who are on a ski hill!! It just doesnt make any sense to me, maybe I'm just getting too old but it seems like there is a lot of confusion on the slopes these days.

I wear a baseball hat, do you hate me? I like the way it looks, and I may not be as good as someone else but at least im not that tool standing on the side making fun of people that everyone hates. And what makes your style so much better than mine or anyone else's? Is it because YOU don't like? YOU think my style is stupid because you don't wear what I wear? I THINK your style is fine, and I could care less what you wear. you don't like the way I dress so you automatically hate me? You sound like a bitchy high school girl. Go have some fun instead of hating on what people wear.

First of all im putting it out there that i do wear xl outerwear and a bandana sometimes, and i even go no poles. Thats because i feel comforable feeling loose and poleless.

But let me remind you that i wouldnt consider to have the "gansta" image. I dont wear xxxxl tees that go to my waste or  pants that are at my ankles or a different glove on my hand. AND most importantly i feel aas if the "gansta' image isnt all about dress, its about their attitude wich i hate so much about them. Tearing up the park and completely disrespecting everyone who's not in their group. And most importantly all the hate they bring. They critisize litttle kids who are trying to progress. skiing

Al Capone: true gangster. He was doin it for the money. Since everyone wants to get sponsored, isnt that the same as doin it for the money? Come on people......

god some of u guys baggin on every1 cuz of there clothes are such assholes... i mean have u ever had an idol before, alotta these kids just wanna be like their favorite pros because they want to have something to look up to and aspire to be, and everyone else are just trying to progress the sport as a lifestyle, the more cultural influence from music and pros and the more lifestyle that is put in to this sport the closer and stronger it can become  and if u really wanna be so much of an ass that u gotta kill that, then u most be a dam lonely person

If you weren't worried about what other people thought of you no one would by oakley gear....There is stuff that is more comfortable for way cheaper, but since your image on the hill matters so much you have to buy oakley, not calling anyone out because I do it too, but people who say things like who cares what people think of how you look when you ski are ridiculous, im not saying to let others define your style, but you can't say that you don't buy your stuff on how you look so OTHERS can see you.

wrong... people buy oakley or whatever because they think it looks dope. Yes some people do it because they want people to think they look cool, but for the most part people buy what they think looks dope.
