Afterbang and people taking it to serious.

I searched barred and there was nothing really about this.
So i posted an edit, and people hated on it becuase they said the after bang was bad.
People need to realize there is more to skiing than after bang, and landing with your hands to your side is just keeping it from looking flailed out. Has afterbang really turned in to an expected thing in skiing? to where if there isnt after bang than the skiing isnt good? in my personal opinion people need to calm down and realize that not everyone afterbangs, and the people who started it do it as a joke.

i think is about to style....

if you afterbang in some landings or rails... could be style... but if you force afterbang everytime everywhere... it ugly... and your meniscus will haaate you.

in my opinion in a next future the G style or afterbang will keep alive only in those who really love it... not in everyone.

i love afterbang.  but i understand that its gay when people do it after they land.  its really only cool when people are doin it in the air before they land.  u can notice it with brogan cause he already has his hands at his side and is looking all bangin before he even lands.  its just control.

Wow, not only have skiers ripped off a snowboarding term, but now they seem to have completely reversed the actual meaning of it.

FYI the definition of "Afterbang" (as printed on the box of the original video by the way) is - "a desperate compensation for lack of style, after landing". And yes it was, and still is, a joke. A way to make fun of yourself when you flailed the shit out of something.

Come on guys, how unimaginative are skiers these days? Can't you come up with some better way to describe control in the air and smooth landings than by using a snowboard term that means the complete opposite? Sheesh.

so is this just a rant, or do you not want people to care? There are always gonna be tools that do care, just ignore them.

it doesnt say your good or bad at skiing it determines the style and some peoples afterbangs straight ruin the little style they once had.

We shouldnt take it so serious. It's just skiing. All about the fun.

If you don't bang your trick looks ugly, dumb, and you lucked out barely landing/getting it around. A clean  landing has always been important in any extreme sport, it just took a while for skiing to find its style.
