I come home today, and did a little research before making some sort of stupid thread, and guess what I found - ITS SPREADING. There are hundreds of pictures out there on google of "My first time skiing" and VERY few have poles in hand. Proof:
Mini Ripper, following in the footsteps of Pep, Andy and Eric.
Little does this little one know that they are weighing in on one of the great debates of freesking.
The implications of an entire generation of new skiers riding without poles is staggering. Thats not the worst of it however. Apparently, at some places they actually TEACH PEOPLE TO SKI WITHOUT POLES.
Get these children some aluminum, baskets and grips, pronto.
Look, I take neither side in this debate. I know no poles has been hated on for a while, but really? Swaying the ski culture by brainwashing children? Thats a massive step over the line for me. For the love of God, THEY'RE ONLY CHILDREN. WHY DID YOU ASSHOLES GET THEM INVOLVED!?!
Sad day NS. Sad day.
