Is skiing the #1 sport for ppl who think they are awesome at it when they suck?
weastcoastNo. But there’s no one with a bigger head than baseball dads of 17 year olds. No, your kid isn’t going d1. He hates the game and he sucks, he wants to kill himself.
Haha

explain pls

CeleryIve done 2 double blacks which makes me the best skier on the mountain.
thats like this one time in call of duty i got 2 uavs in one match. Ppl were blown away
BradFiAusNzCoCaYes. I grew up in the southeast. The amount of MFers I grew up with telling me they’re “so good at skiing” because their family goes to Beaver Creek once a year is unreal.
I think part of the reason so many rich ppl love skiing is bcz the resorts cater to and massage their egos. Like i dont necessarily think theres a point to telling these jet setters the pond is bigger than they think it is but sometimes ppl need to realize how many levels there actually in the game.
ndyeYesterday I got invited to the company ski trip "iF yOu cAn KeEp uP"
Also its golf.
I dont know how you could suck at golf and think you were good. Like if you watch pros do 12 under par on your home course and your best round ever was 20 over par, how could you possibly think you were good? Tennis is much easier to get big headed about imo. And if you dont believe me go over to the talk tennis forum at tenniswarehouse.com you will see 50 yr old women bragging about being a 4.0 player or some ridiculous ego masturbation scale they have. i dont even know how it works it just seems asinine. I posted a thread about how naomi osaka’s tantrum reminded me of the indonesian smoking baby
and this female member named aussiedarcy was literally queefing blood trying to get me banned. If you ever wonder why dolan at times doesnt mind the idea of convincing certain ppl to kill themselves then go over to talk tennis at tenniswarehouse.com and talk shit about a female pro player. They will literally crawl out of the internet like dormant maggots calling you “sexist” this and “troll” that. Its pretty funny actually.
skeirmanThis is TGR in a nutshell.
TGR is like the official website of “yeeah i could hit jumps in the park if wanted to but im more interested in big mountain myself”.
And youre like “oh youre one of those awesome big mountain skiers! Never come across one of you before! How original!”
Lotsofkush42I smoke kush so I’m best park skier
This is the way of all things.
steeze_louiseHave you ever even posted an edit on newschoolers. this is literally the first time I have seen you talk about skiing since I have been on this sight. can you even hit a rail?
i used to hit rails sometimes and i could do basic shit like 270 on and out but after hearing from ppl on ns that no ski is going to hold up to repeated rail abuse im probably not going to fuck with the pristine bases of my revolt 87s. Plus my fat ass weighs 220 pounds these days so i would probably total my edges on one sketchy rail.
jumps i could more than on rails but still pretty basic tricks (5, 7, etc) Im not corey vanular but i could do enough to make me not feel like a larping bitch to have a baseline amount of self esteem around a place like newschoolers.
WoFlowzRails are bad for his bases and he’s to fat the rails would fall over
bah!

Wasnt it thad?
-eREKTion-It's skiing and tennis but we only see them when they're skiing. When they're in the mountains, they become Spyder Dad and are imbibed with a heedless arrogance that massively belies their abilities. Fun to watch but tedious to interact with.
Yeah. That being said i think families that go skiing over xmas and spring break deserve more credit than families that go to like puerto rico to get tan, even if the skiing family is in wartime ego mode all week.
TOAST.Park skiing, everyone that can hit a rail thinks they are a better skier than people who dont hit rails.
if you can hit rails but for whatever reason cant/wont hit jumps i dont think you should be sporting too big of an ego. Like honestly unless youve already had 4 concussions, if you seriously want to be respected for your skiing ability then you really dont have an excuse for not hitting some easy and nicely groomed kickers for fuck sake. Well made jumps are retardedly easy.
BradFiAusNzCoCaSilverton is so sick. The season pass for unguided is stupid cheap and you get days at places like powderhorn (my old local) which has great glades and no lines.
The hike to the ridge at Silverton made my lungs feel like they were going to explode. Check out Ouray brewery over Red Pass next time you’re there too.
Add Ourayle (aka Mr Grumpy pants) brewery too. That place and that guy are both worth it for entertainment value. He sealed a beer for me off draft once when I asked for a to-go. Just bottled it off like off the line ha

You gotta snag those unguided passes quick. Also heli drop is worth the money even if it's just for clout in your own mind.
I got news for you… I got it on good authority that the revolt 87 is becoming a 90 and the shape is possibly changing.

Really? Why? Any idea what they are changing? Kinda sucks I’m in the market for a park ski to replace my chrons. That’s an awesome park ski they should leave it alone.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TI wholeheartedly agree with OP. Skiing and snowboarding have the biggest posers.
It’s a small enough sport where someone with an ego can get away with big talk because most people don’t know any better.
I live in NC - Neighbors thought this kid was a god for “ripping black diamonds” in Colorado (he uses rentals).
Also, gear and outerwear are everything in this sport. We judge people on it all the time.
I remember some kid at my home mountain got a g-suit and the empire Dumont hat for Christmas. He was a beginner and it was frustrating to see his swagger.
The amount of people at my school that say that they want to race me is stupid. it's just a bunch of NC rednecks who don't know how to turn.
Idk why. Just know it’s a new model/prototype the team is trying. Probably because sub 90 doesn’t sell like it used to and most people want some rocker in their skis now.

I see that 100%, I like the rocker too, but there’s times when that full camber is nice, but if it’s not selling it’s not selling and that means change.
