don't worry about it. it sucks at first with new pants, but then you're just like "fuck it"

if you are going to sag your pants then you have to accept that that shit will happen.  Just accept it, and if you cant then pull your pants up so that it is still steezy just not dragging on the ground.  Just a question, when you hit rails or boxes, do your pants get caught underneath your sis at all?

you can buy invisible mender (or just use crazy-glue)   glue over the rips and it holds it together nicely and it DOSEN'T come off.

the rips are on the sides, its not from saging pants, its from your right ski's edge hitting your left pant leg.. you get rips on the inside of your ankles. jeeeeeze pay attention

I have a huge issue with this, but that's what happens when you buy Oakley, I was thinking of getting a couple of those iron-on denim patches (biggest I can find) and seeing if I can't put them down there over the rips. Think if I iron them on they would hold? I dunno, cause it sucks.

I sew some really thick leader on my pants and even the leader got ripped apart...
Although some pants can stand more than others.
e.g. my burton pant got ripped very fast, while my friends quicksilver holds up pretty well

At least there is no other way than buy new pants every season.
