OG's (Original Gangsta's) blowing up

most OG's and veterans are filming with production companies, but there are just as many superunknown veterans as there are rookies. with style being a necessity for this coming season, will there will be more old guns getting recognized for smooth,  controlled tricks than hucked and edgedig tricks? is it possible for a veteran to blowup?, like THEED was years ahead of the game, will his style finally be supported?

jp auclair has been showin og style to the new kids for a long time now. he doesnt do much park anymore, but he has style to compete with the new kids.  plus liam downey has been around the block and it seems like people just get more and more stoked on him and his style as time goes on.

THEED would have to make it a full season before any comeback action.

The "OG's" and veterans arent skiing park anymore probobly because they keep getting injured and their knees are getting pretty recked when they fuck up on a jump. but you still see most of them in the backcountry huckin shit. so i dont think that any vets will really make a substaintial park comeback personally.

Candide never left, and T-Heed was never years ahead of the game.

That guy got the most hype ever.

^ yeah theyve been taking punishment to their bodies since they were pretty young, their knees (and ankles haha) are probably really fucked up by now and powder is a nice break, and easier on their bodies. i dont see any park comeback in their future.

do you know what original gangsta means it means a gangster ( whos part of a gang duhhhh)who already killed another gang member.   Twall and henrik and all the veterans arent o.gs if you respect real Gz don't ever use this term for skiing. People in LA die because they claim they are ogs but they are not. they get shot by real OGs.  Come on i dare you fags to walk down crenshaw in compton with twall and all the phony gangsters and claim you are OGs and all that shit. i can guarantee you will get shot or eat shit by real muthaphukkin Gz.  real Gz have no education, no parents a shitty childhood, no money which leads them to being gangsters because its the only way they can survive. So shut the fuck up

would t-wall and henrik really be considered veterans? to me they seem fairly new. when i think of vetrans i think of candide, pep, seth, and shane (RIP). but maybe thats just me.

I think the term OG is being used to describe them because they were the beginning of newschooling as we know it. i do not think it was meant as them actually being gangsters who ran around "shootin up yo hood" but thats just what i think but hey what do i know i spend most of my time on NSG

haha, jesus. Compton, first, the fact that your SN is compton skier, and you talk all this hate about how unlegit a term is just makes you look insecure and pissed off. If anyones actin like a fake-ass ganster, its you. U can use that same kinda backwards ass logic to bring anything down. All "OG" is is a term, and like it or not, things get twisted as other people start adopting them, its called influence. The whole gang scene that were talkin about is just a rip off the Italian Mob anyway, so does that make it Unlegit or not "hard"? those dudes were the "original gangsters" (at least to the people who tried to imitate them, there was always something that came before them and so on)


Yea, alot of people may not know the roots of something, but chill the fuck out. newschoolers is NOT the hood, and instead of interpreting something so literally and out of context, relate whats the same: both have been around since the begging, and are respected on a higher level than the youngins cause of their commitment and dedication to the game, whether its skiing, killing rival gangs, music, whatever. you've already gotten way more attention that you deserve (and we know thats all you really want), so go back to wishin you were hard, stop hatin, and try thinking about shit before talkin.

God damn, got so into that last post that i forgot to mention the actual topic.

I think itd be dope. NS skiing is now entering its second decade of existence, and while in the past there simply werent alot of older dudes that were really into it, thats gonna change now that the first wave of guys are getting older. look at skating. thats a sport thats way more punishing, and there are tons of guys in their 40s and 50s that ride super hard, and get mad respect.

as for these dudes blowing up, I dunno. for most of those guys, its about skiing, not becoming a pro. (I mean, at 30 or 40, a pro park skiing career seems pretty ridiculous, especially with kids or a body thats been beaten to shit for a few decades) But I think theres always room for people to share what they do, and your right, the older dudes like tanner, candide, seth, Pollard, JP, fujas all have a style that is just so timeless and unmatched. I always love watchin those guys ride, because even tho new kids can do bigger tricks and are better in the park, they are still the better skiers, and it shows in the way they ride, and the way they can ride ANYTHING, not just park or urban.

So yeah, I think with the edit revolution, theres way more room for older guys who arn't huge to get their name out there, but I dont know if your gonna see someone in their late 20s or 30s turn into the next TWall, just cause theres alot of conflicting priorities, from both the riders point of view, and the companies who would rep them. your late teens/early 20s is when your at your peak, and you have very little to worry about besides skiing all the time, so it really is the prime age for a sport like this. That being said, I would love to be proven wrong. Mike Douglas still rips super hard, and hes in his 40s, so its definitely possible, but I have a hard time imagining that talent wouldnt have already been discovered, ya know?

holy thread hijacking. ill refer to an OG all i want, i dont care what anyone thinks about it. i skied with mike nick when he was on snowblades, and he killed it. an OG can be any skier that rips, or has ripped it in the past. and my question was answered, everyone moves on from the park scene to a more peaceful environment.
