Alright, now everyone put down your flaming keyboards and listen to me for a second.
There have been no less than five threads in the past three days trashing racers and it's ridiculous.
Racers are the best damned skiers on the hill, no question about it. Their training allows them to adapt to any conditions almost instantly and they have ten times the balance, agility and air-awareness than the regular schmuck wrecky's on the hill.
Many of the top skiers in the world, regardless of what discipline they specialize in (big mountain, pipe, park etc etc) have some sort of racing background.
The main point of this thread is to ask why everyone is so damn hypocritical when it comes to racers. One second someone is saying that they hate rude and cocky racers...and then they spit out some expletive-enhanced rhetoric about why racers are 'gay and stupid' and they suck and the such.
It's retarded and a waste of time and only serves to further segregate the skiing community.
If you are not mature enough to deal with racers and give them the same respect that everyone is always crying that they don't get themselves, you should just shut the fuck up and get off of the damn hill because no one wants you there.
go ahead mod me down it turns me on.
