skiing is fun as hell. we all know that. but why does it always need to be about clothing? of course there a trends that everyone follows, im not denying that, but why do we always do lame as things like in the 80's always wear onesies that were like purple yellow or pink? right now the style is to dress "thug"....wow seriously? a whole bunch of white kids in tall tees. You really think thats cool? what do you think were gonna say in ten years. even five? don't think i don't love skiing or the park or pow. I love everything about skiing.. but why do we always have to have weird ass clothing styles?u might comment some hateful things but all i ask is for you to just think about it. THINK.

freeskiing has included baggy ass clothing for a couple of years now. it sure has lasted longer than i thought it would have ahah. i have nothing again baggy clothing, but i admit some things are a bit out of hand.

on the other hand, i know people are going to reply and claim skiing is about expressing your style and whatever, and thats also true. kids shouldnt all look the same, that would make things boring as hell. personally, im wearing skinny pants this year, because i think its looks cool and different. but even that gets hated on.

i dont know how much longer kids will think theyre thugs, and it actually doesnt bother me. its rather amusing to see kids pulling gang signs and stuff...

thats a good way to look at it... i guess i just don't understand why kids think thats stylish... why try to act like something you're not?

I like the baggy style. but the acting thug is the thing that bothers me. thats just not cool...for me anyways. But whatever floats your boat. you shouldnt care about what other people wear. who gives a shit really? just go out and have fun.

You're mistaken. The point of this isn't because i don't like the image of "thug skiers". its that i'm trying to make a point of this being a trend. EVERYONE ( probably actually 3/4 of skiers) are buying into... lets make skiing more about the sport and less about the clothing. it just doesn't make sense that it has always had to be about clothing. Were the next generation of skiing and were basically buying the trends the same as the onesies generation ha. Its like a reoccurring cycle that isn't gonna stop. I'm just trying to provide different perspective. BTW just moved to az so if anyone knows which mountain to hit up i would love to know cuz i moved from washington and i'm afraid there might not be much skiing here.. ha

You can't be mistaken about an opinion.  Its not all about the clothing, either.  I think some KIDS, yes, KIDS make clothing a big deal because that's how they are able to recognize a "newschool" skier; therefore, they try to emulate it.

You can't stop a trend, you can't.  You can't deny someone their right to opinion, either.

i never said i wanted to stop a trend i simply want people to understand that every style they think is "cool" now will be extremely lame in a few years... there its simple for everyone to understand because for some reason people just want to argue with me about something i never said like stopping a trend!

When you're reading, this try to think i don't hate the "thug" style i'm just stating the obvious that many of the skiers on here don't understand. we make fun of the onesies and its really funny but whats gonna happen when our style is out of date?

i'm gonna lower your karma, not because you are hating on thug style, but because there is too much thread about how being thug is stupid. knock it off everyone, does it really matter? huh?

so the entire purpose of this thread was to state the fact that dressing thug on the mountain is a trend?

and please, can we all shut the fuck up about clothing? my fuckin god, every other  thread in gear talk is about 'what looks good with what?' or 'will these boots match my goggles?'. no wonder most of the guys on TGR hate NSer's. /mini rant

(op, that mini rant wasnt directed at you but please dont make anymore threads about clothing, it will be for the good of this community)

if you dont care then dont comment its that easy... why waste you're time? and the reason TGR peeps have such a problem with you peeps is because you can't have an honest conversation without being interupted with people trying to argue with you or say stuff like you just did... i give up you guys are all like little kids i swear, out of all of the comments you and everyone else posted only one person actually had an insightful thing to say... WOW

plus karma for people who can be mature and have a discussion about skiing without getting into arguments.... YOU are the reason TGR peeps don't like NS

im sorry but are you fuckin retarded? all of your post in this thread are idiotic. honest conversation? being interrupted on an internet forum? do you think about the stuff you punch in with your fingers?

rather than try so hard to be offended by my post, take a second and read it again. my first sentence specifically. what was the purpose of this thread? was it just to illustrate that wearing baggy clothes is a fad? yea, its a fad, everyone knows that and it doesn't need to be pointed out. do you really think you are the first person to come to this conclusion? dont refer to people on NS as "you peeps" youre on NS just like the rest of us. i was being very civil in my post and clearly wasnt looking for an argument, hell i even put a disclaimer in the post how it wasnt directed at you). I can also guaruntee that i am not the reason TGR guys dislike NSers, i dont flash gang symbols, i dont stretch my tshirts, i dont worry very much about what i look like. sure i ski park here and there but am far from a park rat.

go back, read my 1st post, then read your post, then see who is trying to start the argument and you will realize how hypocrytical you have been
(dont refer to me as a little kid, im 22 and a senior at OSU and am most likely older than you)

1.  You really didn't expect this to turn into an argument?  Really?  You've been here since 2008, almost a year...I would expect you to know NS better than that.

2.  You posted this in SITE DISCUSSION - yes, this is a discussion, but not about the site - you're just asking to get bitched at.

3.  Yes, you did deny someone their opinion:

"I like the baggy style. but the acting thug is the thing that bothers me. thats just not cool...for me anyways. But whatever floats your boat. you shouldnt care about what other people wear. who gives a shit really? just go out and have fun."

...followed by; "You're mistaken."

LAWL

4.  Yes, you do want to stop the trend, or at least that's what you said:

"lets make skiing more about the sport and less about the clothing."

...but trends ARE skiing!  Style is a trend, afterbang is a trend, Newschool skiing is a fucking trend!  You cannot stop trends in skiing because skiing revolves around those trends.  What's hot at the moment is what's iconic for skiing - right now it's baggy clothes and double flips.  Some trends outlast others, but skiing and its support are trend driven.

Why do you think riders are sponsored to "rep" gear?  For free?  No!  To make the gear seem cool!  Skiing is a sport but it is also a business, and the sport/business relationship will be forever intertwined.

Just my two cents.

you very well might actually be the dumbest person on this site, which is quite an accomplishment given the fact that most NSers are a bunch of HS stoners. please find in either of my posts when i said that i think you want the style to stop. go ahead, find when i said that. what? you cant find it? oh my, maybe its because you are borderline retarded, thats just a hunch though.

 its ok if you feel a little bit down right now and simply want to end the conversation by saying "its not even worth talking to this guy cuz he's a straight moron". but unfortunately, its not gonna happen like that. i will continue to drag you and your horrible grammar though shit until you want to quit NS for good.

in both of your post you have failed to answer my question. what was the point of this thread? was it just to illustrate that wearing baggy clothes is a fad? i mean you did say " i'm saying its a trend like every other clothing style skiing has ever had". yes, its a fuckin trend, you would be a moron not to see that. that was the point of this thread correct? you really must be quite dumb to think you are the first person to  try and discuss this on here.

please ask a mod to move this to ski gabber so the wolf pups can tear you apart a little more

Then write better.  If everyone who reads this comes to one conclusion, I'm pretty sure we can't all be "idiots."  Try rereading...

"Say what you mean, don't mean what you say."  Words to live by, mang.

yeah you are right but oregone leave this thread. you're annoying and not contributing to jack shit. no one cares what you have to say you're a little blonde kid who's probably 14. anyways the point to this thread is i'm trying to show kids like oregone that the baggy style is a just a part of skiing like any other fad that just goes in cycles. THE MAIN POINT IS why do people even buy into this. if oregone couldn't figure out what i was trying to say then he either wasn't reading everything and skipping ahead. OR he is a retard with no reading comprehension.

really? is this what some people resort to? grow the fuck up and man up a little bit. and yes, im 22, i will take a pic of my ID, then you take a pic of yours and we willl see who is older. challenging someone to a fight is about the most pathetic thing you can do, its even more pathetic if you do it over the internet, its even more pathetic if the fight is over 1000 miles away. yea, and im the bitch. can we get a banhammer for that deaththreat?

Your two cents make sense to me. These threads are so annoying, everyone says 'do your own thing and dont worry about other people' but these threads worrying about other people are constantly created.
