To deny the fact that a man named jesus existed and had a following is ignorant.  Of course he existed, but was he the sone of god, thats the question.  For the record, i am in no way religious.

So we can assume that anyone around before video recording never actually existed.  Come on dude get real. Of course the bible is fiction for the most part but denying that there was never a guy named jesus that started a religion....

Hahahahaha. Wait, wait. So you're saying it's lame and "too mainstream" to spread the word "Jesus" through "sick park tricks". Why not? Maybe the Well's brothers are inspired because of it? Or maybe they just want to have the word Jesus on their helmets cause it looks cool. I don't understand. They could have the "DILDO" on they're helmet and I wouldn't care.

But really, please explain to me how having "jesus" on your helmet is main MAINstream.

I see nothing wrong with it at all.
i am a active christian and also have Jesus stickers on my helmet and surfboard.

i don't want to put words in the wells bros mouths but ill tell you why i do it.

i am not preaching i am making a public deceleration that i am christian and that if anyone see me with the stickers and wants to talk to me about my beliefs then they can go right ahead, there are a lot of people that do want to know more about Jesus around and i am more then happy to tell them what my idea of it all is and if they like what they hear then awesome if not then whatever.
in a way i also wear it because i love what Jesus has done for me, he has shown me that i should be doing something with the talents that he gave me and its up to me to use those talents for something greater then my self. and the wells brothers have been given this natural talent and have worked hard to get to where they are now and they are role models, and instead of rocking stickers of weed leafs or Rasta stuff they rock a jesus sticker and if it makes one person open a bible or head to a church to see whats up then that is so much cooler then someone buying a a drink or shirt with someother sponser.

one last point.
its just like all of us amatur skiers having stickers on our helmets or skis, it shows our selected brands and our i guess skiing personality, if someone see another with a NS sticker on there helmet they know they are part of something and can create a conversation people can assosiate NS with you. thats the reason i wear jesus stickers.

Good point. I have a Backcountry goat sticker, Skullcandy,  The House, Spy etc... I do not have a Jesus sticker but would not be ashamed to have one of those on there too.

Seriously?

Skiing is an individual sport. I ski because I like it and i can express myself, release stress, whatever through skiing. It is a part of me because it is what I love to do and it does good things for me.

That's what skiing is about for most people - it's a form of self expression in one way or another. So if religion is part of your life, why can't it be tied in with skiing?

I am not ashamed to say I am religious, and I am not going to show it or not show it because I think it's "mainstream" or whatever.

Also, for those of you that don't understand the concept, it's called FAITH for a reason, because there are things that we have witnessed or felt in our lives that lead us to believe. I don't need undeniable proof. However, like Rogge said, let's keep the theology in NSG.

Rastafari is nothing but a fashion trend to skiers, you have to realize that. I say good for them for believing in a higher power, but they can keep it to themselves and keep it off the slopes.

Either this thread is just a magnet for all NS Christians to voice their beliefs, or the average NSer is a Christian. Is there a survey or something? I'm kinda curious now...

And there's nothing wrong with it at all. Maybe it would be better if the stickers looked dope, but they're allowed to say what they want with stickers. Tanner plays the Rasta role, even if he isn't actually a Rastafarian (I don't know whether he really is or not), but he's allowed to do what he wants.

Back to the Wells bros though, as long as they aren't preachy (because preachy religious folks preach because they think they're superior to others, which is what Hitler felt towards Jews when he created the holocaust) I think it's fine to show what you strongly believe in.

I'm tired though, so I bet that made no sense...

I'm not christian but im gonna wear a big jesus sticker and a cross on my back but don't trip dude it's just a fashion statement dude.

Don't fucking tell people what and what not to wear on the slopes.

No one is tryng to preach to you or convert you by wearing a sticker if you have a problem with it, ignore it.

I'm really not a christian though I just don't understand what's wrong with people rocking a jesus sticker and why the slopes are any different from anywhere else.

why should other people care if they have jesus stickers on their helmets? it's their religion and they should be allowed to show it however they want

Seriously dude, why not? And why does it really matter? I don't understand. It seems like the Wells brothers could have anything BUT a religious sticker on their helmet and it would be fine. Why whenever religion gets brought up people start to get all argumentative and offensive about it?  It's like saying that I saw a monster logo on CR's helmet, and I don't think Monster should be incorporated into skiing because it is unhealthy and I don't like the taste.

co-opting a religion just so you can smoke weed is way more offensive than any jesus sticker. the fact that rasta is cool in skiing is not surprising but it is hilarious/sad. a religion for oppressed jamacian black men being used by rich white kids to get high is just another example of offending white privilege.

haha very well put IMO. hence why every year reggae on the rocks at red rocks is as much comical as it is enjoyable. mostly just white kids everywhere in abercrombie shorts and rasta hats they bought from a head shop in boulder who have themselves convinced they're the real deal.

to me there's a huge difference between appreciating a musical genre and convincing yourself you ARE that musical genre ha. but that's another thread for another day ..

that would be a question to ask a priest, if you really are interested.  i don't think anyone on this website can give a complete and meaningful answer to that question, only because a person's faith is so personal and can be really hard to put into words.  i'm catholic, and I know the answer to that question, but i literally spent 15 minutes just now trying to put my feelings into words and i failed epically.

in terms of showing you how to live your life, catholics are encouraged to live the way that jesus did - that is, without sin and in the service of others.  in my opinion, that is pretty much the extent to which he "shows us how to live our lives."

you are so ignorant and you're remarks and living proof.  you're such a post whore, you had less posts than me about 8 months ago and now look how many you have.  just do NS a favor and shut up. 

You people are so quick to hate on something that you have no knowledge about, why don't you do some fucking research before making such ignorant comments about something that people dedicate their lives to.

wow sir, fantastic post. ++Karma to you.

And in response to the thread. The sticker is just their way of showing who they are what they believe in. Just like someone might have an oakley sticker on their helmet to show that they support a company, the Wells boys put a Jesus sticker on their helmet to show their support for their religion. And when you believe in something like that, you make it the center of your life.

To the guy that said how does jesus give you magical skiing powers...he doesn't. There is nothing miraculous about having a belief in a religion. They just believe what they believe and know that their lives are in the hands of a higher power.

seriously, does it matter? its their helmet, they can put whatever shit they want on it, you can choose to read it and take it seriously, or not. the fact that a site is bitching about 5 letters on a skiers helmet is pathetic. fucking pethetic.

this is a hard question to answer as it highly personal and unless you have personally felt the power of what jesus can do for you then it is hard to explain,

god and jesus have a plan for what one should do with thier life but we have the choice to change it, the wells brothers have been given gifts that they use to become pro skiers, where they could have easily made the choice to not use them and have been born in texas and worked with cattle or whatever.

in my case i have been given the talent of creativity, and now work as a photographer taking photos in the sudan, surfing, skiing and genrally whatever god presents to me.
however god has not created us to be robots doing whatever he wants because if it was like that then the wourld would have no point and we would all be chilling in heaven already. we all have the choice if we want to live with jesus or not.

how does he show you how to live your life?
he presents things to you in the way of people that come into your life at moment which you need them or trip.

to give you a example,
i have a batcholars degree in hotel managment and i thought that that was what i was here for and i hated it did for years then lost my job at the chatau lake louise and randomly met this guy who wanted a aprretice photographer to work in mexico taking photos it became more then a job to make time past and then got the opurtunity to go to the sudan and then the congo taking photosand showing the world whats happening there and the good the missionarys were doing, then got to go a do a mission in the solomon islands surfing and helping out.

some people could say that these could all be random happaning, but in all those things i felt god i started off not listening to what god wanted and hated my job and life and now scince i have started to listen to what god wants from me i am now so much happier and doing good work.

again i think if you dont know what that feels like it may sound dumb, but hey it works for me

intersting, you mentioned its a personal thing. would you say you believe in god exactly how christianity presents him. or do you have your own beliefs... if that makes sense, being christian but believing what you choose to i guess.

my apologies for the odd questions, I dont know anyone who believes in christianity. I was raised christian but I've always had a huge issue with someone telling me how the earth was created, and if i disobey certain rules I'm going to burn in hell for eternity.

I guess what I'm getting at is how do you know? how can you be so sure that christianity is THE way to live your life?

I'm not trying to insult you in any way, but do you believe that there is a divine spirit up in the sky that makes plans for your life and expects you to follow?
