sideslipping all the way down a groomer. with absolutely no intention of turning at any point, just straight down the hill on his backside edge.

thats all

cool. story. bro.

who cares what other people have, regardless of their skill level. let them have their fun. is the kid directly interfering with you or inhibiting your ability to enjoy your day? no, probably not, so let it go. who cares.

Can people stop making these fucking "I saw a guy and he was doing this, and hes not qualified to do that" threads? God damn.

Next time, when you're thinking if anyone cares as much as you obviously do, just know, we don't.

Really? Another thread like this? Quit clogging up ski gabber with your pissed off rants full of jealousy and anger and let the people that don't have a ton of ski use their GoPros as freely as the wany.

who cares if he has a gopro, all that means to you is that he's supporting the company, which in turn will allow them to make better cameras, benefiting all of us

i noticed that your care-o-meter has pi on it. does that mean when your care-o-meter reaches or passes pi, you give said person a pie? if so that would be fucking awesome and i think we should be friends

Next time you see someone like this, think to yourself... "Hey, maybe this kid is just trying to have fun.  Maybe he's just learning a new sport I love (and yes equate skiing and snowboarding as the same sport.}  I used to absolutely suck at some point as well."  And in regards to his GoPro, maybe his parents, who don't understand winter sports at all, bought him something to not only make him happy, but also so he can show them what he is learning to do.  This kid may have been not only providing himself with fun by learning to snowboard, but also enlightening others who don't even know what a ski slope looks like.  I don't mean this as direct attack to the OP, but as an attempt to hopefully affect everyone who reads this to stop and think a second before you call someone " GAPER ! " or " POSER ! " .  We all support the industry in our own way, and no one spent their first day on the hill sliding DFD rails on twin tips in XLT outergear.

WI$DOM.


in other news, I saw either:
one guy on Obsetheds with very unique gear and outerwear
AND
another guy on a race snowboard with the very same unique gear and outwear


OR

the same person switching between skiing and boarding. the race board used ski boots. nothing was different from helmet to boots- it was all exactly the same. but if he switched out, he did it like every lap. quickly.


CONFUSED THE SHIT OUT OF ME TODAY, but I didn't wanna make a thread. and seymourians, please fill me in on what this is

your name is inaccurate and false until proof is provided, and therefore everything you say is automatically invalid

thank you for your time

i was riding singles and got on the lift with some guy who immediately turnes to his friends and started to hate HARD on any and all filming of skiing, whether from POV or filming other people. i had to tell him what it was all about; but being a douche from NJ, he didnt even want to try to understand.

Today I saw a park rat with a gopro...he was swishing his tails around and trying to look super cool on the way to the park to cover up the fact that he didn't actually know how to ski. 

...I bet he could do a box and a 360 though, so he's totally allowed to have a Gopro.

i knew before even opening this thread that it was going to be a shit show of "he's just having fun, don't be mean". i think its awesome though. think about it, these gapers are going to do 2 runs with their gopro/contour whatever and realize that watching themselves pov is fucking boring when they suck. In a few weeks youll be seeing these popping up on craiglist for super cheap.

just remember, you went through the same stages of learning. there was one point where you could hardly pizza and french fry, so knocking this kid for learning how to enjoy the snow and the outdoors doesn't really make you "the man" at all, brother.
