idk but for some reason I absolutely hate the word 'pow'.

I'm a pretty big fan of the term 'claim' which I never really heard before joining this site, I say it a lot now.

calling a 270 a "two sev", just say the whole word or you sound like a tard!

Stoked and ILL bother me. Whatever happened to "Geeked." Maybe it was a regional thing but I always use to hear that maybe 5 or 6 years ago and i'm ready for it to be back.

I'm not a fan of "pow-pow" or "played". Played really pisses me off. I love all the other terms.

yall say legit way too much.

that word is dumb unless mc hammer says it.

gaper is a dumb word too.  really dumb.

so is steeze.

cab makes absolutely no sense on skis either.  its a skateboard word.

dood let's shred the gnar and once the pow pow gets tracked out by all the gapers we can hit the park and throw down some gangster jibs under the chair for the beezy's to see, good thing i got xxxxxl outerwear so i look extra steezy!

that's kinda fun to throw all the words together!

Not a skiing term but the only place i hear it is NS so NO HOMO

Could you please fucking stop saying that, especially when the thing youre saying has nothing to do with being gay. Fuck that pisses me off so bad that i bang my head on the wall everytime i hear that.

What ever happened to "Shoobies" from Rocket Power. I think we gotta replace gapers with shoobies.

it depends on how is saying it. when somekids use the terms all the time and it gets annoying i hate them all, but when used in moderation they are all ok.

Yea thanks for correcting me that one day. My Bacons aren't flexy, they're flacid. Or maybe, they're just not crispy bacon.
