eheathGo ahead. Don't shovel the stairs. You'll just look like a gaper. Make sure the jump is on the inside of the rail too.

thats cool I stopped worrying about how I look ages ago, self-proclaimed gaper

I love my bindings... FIS maybe?

OxcilicI ski park because it's a ton of fun but I also think it's stoopid.

This is so hypocrytical

If you ski anywhere besides the east coast, park is barely barely worth it...

I secretly love my tiny ass local hill :3

Ski_AlotIf you ski anywhere besides the east coast, park is barely barely worth it...

if you ski anywhere besides the east cost, midwest, rockies, west coast, canada, south, east coast, north west, and every other place in the world, park is barely worth it

TamasLol. I rarely ski with poles and i can rip the shit out of everything on-piste without them. Theres a reason you learn to ski with out poles. People get to dependant on them...

lol this is exactly what i was talking about, youre wrong, youre so wrong about this. they teach "people" (mainly kids) to ski without them is that its hard to focus an that many aspects at once.

poles are there to help with balance in sticky situations, and force you hands to stay in front of your body to keep your form in tact.

and no you can't there is a reason none of the best skiers in the world (skiers, not park skiers) ride without poles. because they do indeed have a function.

Brocka_FlockaGeorge is one of the BEST skiers IN THE WORLD right now.

Yeah, he just obviously doesn't put any work into park. You could tell he hasn't really skied switch before.

PringleWay too many park skiers puss out when the weather isn't nice. 70 year olds are more dedicated than a lot of you. Get out and ski.

S.J.WPlease find where I said people who think park skiing is funner than regular skiing are idiots? No please, because unless you can magically find words in my quote that say that then I didn't fucking say that you idiot. I said people are idiot for valuing park skills above regular skiing ability skills. Had nothing to do with who's having more fun you fuckstick.

Dude you're a bit of an asshole. Like I get not liking little snot nose 10 year olds who have no basic skiing ability outside of the park. I was in a park I hadn't been to once and I was speed checking a jump and some kid told me to "get the fuck off the jump" so I watched him and he did a cork 7. Then I watched him keep skiing after and he honestly "pizzad" or "snowplowed" down. It's pisses me off to see kids not enjoy the best part of the sport but that doesn't mean you've gotta chirp people on the Internet if they give their opinion... The sports about having fun and doing what you want. That's why we ski. There's no rules, you can do what you want. If they wanna stay in the park till their joints tell them otherwise let em. They had their fun.

This is the unpopular skiing opinion thread. Did you fucking expect roses and everyone singing kumbaya and holding hands?

no but I did expect you using the term "idiot" so much. Are you 12?

name just one of the worlds best skiers who skis without poles and ill give you 100$

brov1name just one of the worlds best skiers who skis without poles and ill give you 100$

I was just messing with you but at the same time plenty of racers who are arguably "the best in the world" don't ride park either so should we just quit that too?

Mike Hornbeck doesn't ski with poles and he kills it in the powder. Now where's my money?

w_skierI was just messing with you but at the same time plenty of racers who are arguably "the best in the world" don't ride park either so should we just quit that too?

it makes sense to do it in the park, i think it looks steezier.

its just out side of the park that im talking about because in difficult terrain they do serve a purpose.

and this is a dumb argument im not saying you should do it because the best skiers do it im just speaking to hao the fact that they do use them shows that they are important.

S.J.WMike Hornbeck doesn't ski with poles and he kills it in the powder. Now where's my money?

no he doesnt. he can ski off some cliffs but he is by no means one of the best skiers in the world. honestly i dont think hornbeck is that good at pow in general. hes just about my favorite rail skier but his powskiing is just like average for a decent skier but with air control.

MarcuntusFull tilts don't solve everyone's problems

I went broke buying classics... then the top buckle broke on my 4th day out and I didn't have enough money to buy a new one. So I have to ski with the top buckle at the loosest setting.

JustinG7This is so hypocrytical

Oh ok I'll quit skiing for you.

ronders_I went broke buying classics... then the top buckle broke on my 4th day out and I didn't have enough money to buy a new one. So I have to ski with the top buckle at the loosest setting.

I don't think you can get boots for much cheaper than the classics

J skis are overrated. Basic design with a gimmicky graphic every few weeks

yo fuck skiing

Remember that the winner of this thread is the most downvoted

TOAST.I don't think you can get boots for much cheaper than the classics

My point is the buckle shouldn't be broken. Whenever I put it at anything but the loosest setting, when I close it, it just jumps back to the loosest setting. Which is a pain.

If you have full bib pants on, with a no hood sweatshirt tucked in and skiing with no poles......you're an asshole.

teamdummyIf you have full bib pants on, with a no hood sweatshirt tucked in and skiing with no poles......you're an asshole.

this makes me insane hahaha second that.

BurgyI fucken love newschool freestyle skiing..... but honestly, if I was given a choice between skiing "properly" (no leaning back or forwards, no butters, no switch, always proper sized poles, no hand dragging or surfing, only racer form) and snowboarding.... id pick snow boarding hands down.

my style of skiing can relate more to the mind set of snowboarding then it can to "Properly skiing". "Properly skiing" shouldn't be associated with newschoolers or new school skiing at all. its about freely expressing your style of skiing, free minded skiing, and understanding that there is no proper way to ski.

of course there are snowboarders that preach "proper snowboarding" but in general snowboarding has a more freestyle mind set then skiing.

Someone doesn't know how to ski very well

Holy shit... there must be a lot of people that do this. I've seen like 4 at my hill.

Andy Mahre few years back he would ski switch so much he just threw them away. And no he's not a park skier either.

because the fundamentals of skiing backwards do not require pole-planting. The fundamentals of skiing forward do.

shuffles are fucking cool

Skiing park is much more fun than regular skiing unless its a pow day. Not sure if thats really an unpopular opinion but judging from some of the people in this thread talking about how park skiing sucks compared to regular skiing i might be in the minority. Honestly I'd take a sunny park day with big jumps and fun rails over a cloudy day of regular skiing any day of the week.

Wow so much hate in this thread. go skiing and stop hating people

The referenced post has been removed.

I like what they stand for. I like that they do things different than everyone else and that they don't give a fuck what other people think. I like their creative approach and everything, but I can't say I like their skiing. I can watch short edits from them, but their movies bore me after like 5 minutes. It's just not for me. That being said, I hope they keep doing what they're doing because a lot of people love it. Skiing needs that kind of creativity.

Telemark skiing is infinitely more fun than alpine skiing. Telemark skiers are better skiers. The telemark turn is a more effective turn. There is more potential in freestyle/freeriding without training heels.

People who hate on Goepper are ridiculous and most likely only hate on him because of NS. People constantly preach about not giving a fuck, yet they give way too many fucks about what he does. People gotta chill out with the hate on him.

Youre being ignorant and narrow minded, i dont get why people are bashing on poles, different types of skiing require poles more than others, i invite you to try and ski deep powder at a 40 degree angle, get back to me on how far you tomahawk
