just tell them u do tricks, like on a snowboard...it makes me cringe a bit when i say it, but boarders do it with style, so its not that bad saying we're like them

i know what you mean, but imagine how not cool skiing would be if it was as popular as snowboarding and there were a bunch of posers and stuff....
just tell em youre cooler and you could own if they want to talk to shit and not back it up.

awareness of skiing does need to be raised, but also you shouldn't say shit about racers etc, because in ten years when, people think all skiers are gangster punks, racers prolly won't wanna be associated with us. just cuz they wanna race and don't wanna ski park isn't a reason to hate them, just to laugh a little behind their backs.

I still think skiing is moguls and gates. Theres also an UNKNOWN aspect to it, but I dont' like people to dwell there because they might die.

haha, i know how you feel, sometimes its just not worth explaining, sometimes i tell people i snowboard. and if i do explain about freeskiing, i never go into tele freestyle, cuz it takes too much effort and most ppl don't even understand it anyways

to me, skiing is when you have tight boots and are strapped to a wierd thing and then you somehow slide down a hill.

Hey man i feel for ya. If i'm hitting on girls i make sure to not tell them i ski. Sometimes if they look down and see my boots buckle instead of lace I'm fucked. But the snowboarders I ride with get so much ass just for saying they snowboard. I mean damn, it's not like i walk into the lodge with a damn skin-tight race suit and conehead helmet on. It's such a shame that we get a bad rep man.

We definitely need more mainstream exposure if we want to be viewed as cool. I think guys like Wilson are good for the sport because he keeps stepping it up doing crazy shit. Shame that jump didn't go well for him though. That would've got us a lot of publicity. And as much as some poeple don't like Tanner, i think he's good for the sport. His many wins at X-games kinda make him the appointed representative of our sport. And tanner is the "Antiracer" and talks shit on Bode so maybe we need to get his wigger ass on TV more often.

I've never really met anyone like that, but I'd probably tell them that I ski because I like the feel of a speed suit gently gripping my sack.

What is so hard to explain to people about freeskiing.. jsut say.. "i ski park. jumps n stuff, you know." And don't hide that youre a skier, cause ski chicks dig ski boys. Especially if they're good.

i agree, its really hard to explain.
when you tell people you "freestyle" they think its moguls

then when you tell them you "freeski" they just think your a recreational skier

you cant tell them your a "newschool" skier, they wouldnt know what to think





Yea. I said it.

hahaha, I couldn't even explain telemark to my parents.



Every single time I say I ski, someone thinks it's either racing, or those tight rhythmic gay turns that the ski patrollers do. I have to tell them that I do the tricks that the snowboarders do on rails and jumps, on skis. And then their like, "oh wow."

i cant take him[liam downey] seriously cuz his name reminds me of that downy bear from back when i was a kid -d loc

I don't deny there are bad things in the US right now, hell, 51% of the country to be exact. But god damnit, our country being fat is NOT a problem. I do't give a shit how fat people are. hell, fat kids are harder to kidnap, that means our country is safer.

haha, have u seen bode, to me skiing is everything that a snowboarder can do and more. I race and freestyle, its just something i love to do on both ends and i have 2 skis to do it. Plus, to that comment that tanner talks shit on bode, lets see them fight, good god bode would beat the shit out of him, bode is huge.

hahaha, those racer guys work out all the tiem and they are so so strong. They shoudl take on brad hoolmes though. That would be a good match up.

I always carry a freeze or freeskier with me, sometimes a powder if it's new. people, especially in the south, jsut have no idea.

Haha yeah i know bode would beat tanners ass, but I was just saying that Tanner doesn't wanna be associated with racing stiffs, which is good if you are a person who want a better public image of what freeskiing is. Our clothes are baggy instead of tight, we ride forwards and backwards on our skis, we spend more time in the air or on metal than on snow. I was just pointing out that guys like tanner are trying to break that stereotype mold the public puts us in. In most aspects Bode would own tanner ...unless of course T pulls out his gat from his XXXXL coat.

who cares what other people think. I love the fact that our part of the sport is still super isolated and relatively unknown. Just say you're a skier and be like, "whatever" when they say you're not cool. Then go skiing with them and you know where it goes from there....

skiing is for fucking faggots and retards.
btw...
snowboarders race as much as skiiers do. and they look about one thousand times gayer than skiiers who race do.

skiing is freedom, a rush, and it feels great when you pull something off with steeze. the whole progression factor is always giving you something to look forward to aswell. the competitive aspect aswell, it's just.... super happy fun time. pure and simple.

i told this girl one time that i skied and she started laughing and said she could just picture me going down the slopes in my sweater and ski overalls. i then bitch slapped her explained to her that i ride straight up gangster baggage with my pants and then left her with the dinner bill. it was one of my more humiliating moments of my life.


Me: Hey I got these sweet new skis today.
Matt: Sick, are they telegraph?
Me: You mean telemark?

people dont know shit about skiing becasue the very few times you see skiing on mainstream tv it is racing or some old school shit of a person in a florecent one piece with poles that are way to big, same is said about the baskets and length of their blinding bright white skinny skis. Unless your a member of NS then thats what you think of skiers because thats all you see. You have to look to find freestyle skiing in the mass media, one more reason I hate mass media, though a very minor reason

yuo obviously didnt get the point he was saying, in terms of people who dont freeski, skiing is gay. he wasnt personally saying it is, he meant skiing is still viewed as gay, which is true.

the mass media caters to the mass population. Like it or not, skiing is primarily a seasonal and regional thing. You just have to get over the fact that there millions of people who probably go through their entire life who never ski, or even see snow for that matter. It's not the media thats a fault. They arent going to show something that the masses don't want. Majority wins :P

people always go "what the fuck mark i cant picture you skiing" then proceed to laugh then say "hahaha i can just picture you going down the hill" then proceed to mock what they think i do up in them mountains *which is usually that reverse shoulder thing(gay 70s technique) thats usually followed by a bitch slap and letting them borrow FREEZE.

ive got another version of the pole dangle, its pretty funny too, gets cold when i do it on the lift tho.

I said it ISN'T hard to explain.. if they don't get it i don't bother, cause the conversation obv. won't continue anyway. Skiing is skiing, we do it for the love of it, at least we all share the same passion, whether it's racing or freeski or boarding.. it's just different dimensions of the same aspect. Although i think freestyle is the best, cause, you know, we're hot. But honestly... who cares if not many people know about it, that way when they see you ski park they are like holy shit dude that was so intense! even if you were skiing an off day. etc.
