Wow, skiers go bigger than snowboarders? that's never been my impression. Maybe he should check out that's it that's all to gain some confidence in his sport.

There is a forum dedicated to these little ski shits where they take cute little pictures of themselves all suited up and post them. Then they talk about how sick their kit is and how huuuge their 14 shirts are and how saggin’ their pants are. If that isn’t the epitome of gay butt-fucking I don’t what is. If you ski, fuck you. Jam those poles up your ass.

nice

God damn. I don't understand the hate between the two sports. Without one another, We wouldn't be where we are right now. We basically developed of one another. Technology wise to trick and clothing wise. Jesus.

I am confused whether you are for or against skiing since your topic says "why skiing is cooler than snowboarding" and you're saying the opposite...

But as a snowboarder, I think skiing is dope. Which is probably why I am on Newschoolers, on top of all the other snowboarders here... If you don't like skiing, then why are you on Newschoolers? (that comment isn't directed to OP but to the others who responded)

I ski almost exclusively with snowboarders.
Why?
Because there's a bigger dichotomy between alpine skiers and newschool skiers than there is between newschool skiers and snowboarders.

I just like when boarders hate on skiers for doing like "a millions switch-ups." Don't get me wrong, when someone switches up a bunch of times and it looks sketchy, then yea it looks bad....Just like a penciled out 10 looks bad. But the only reason why anyone would hate on someone switching up a rail 3-4 times smoothly and all steezy is cause they know they could never do it...cause lets face it when it comes to rails, skiers are in a whole other league than boarders. not hating but having "two planks" gives skier way more control and way more ability on rails/boxes

Ive skied almost my whole life, but I have respect for everyone. If you can throw down on the slopes, it doesn't matter what you have, you have my respect In a lot of ways, boarding has really been leading the charge in improvement in the pipe and such.

here is where i dont understand:

I dont know a single "newschool" skier who dislikes snowboarding, or snowboarders, but fucking every single snowboard douchefag who thinks he's the shit, thinks that he is just soooooo much cooler than everybody that skis. Snowboarders hate skiers, skiers are indifferent about snowboarders.

FUCK. some kid today told me "Nice tall tee! Psyche!" Yeah. Real fuckin cool.

You make a good point. I guess it just shows that a lot of skiers just want to have fun while a lot, but not all boarders feel like they have to be better than another group, which happens to be skiers. I guess they're self conscious or something.

I have a friend who snowboards, and I've been skiing with him for years. He's not like that. That's why I'm so confused.

None of those points had any merit to them, hahaha.

that thread made zero valid points, i dont even feel offended, i just don't understand why skiing and snowboarding has to be about anything but having fun. That said i think people just get insecure with their own ability level and how they look so they feel the need to rip on each other.

Freestyle skiing looks like a bunch of dudes with Cerebral Palsy flying through the ari. Two skis, two poles and big ugly, single-person game of twister that looks like shit. There is no trick in freestyle skiing that looks clean or has style.

It’s the 90′s equivalent of the rollerblading craze. No matter how high they go or what trick names the swipe from board sports, it still looks like shit and eventually it will go away.

ahahahah

Haha you guys got trolled hard. I go on yobeat and everyone there is chill as about newschool skiing. Check this thread http://www.yobeat.com/forum/shoot-the-shit/what-pisses-you-off-while-snowboarding/ pretty much every member agrees that they hate fags who hate people just because they ski.

First mistake of anyone who got butthurt, taking yobeat and the internet in general seriously.

2. Skiing still sucks to learn. You gotta figure out what do with with all that extra equipment and how to keep both those sticks pointing the same way. It can take years just to get semi okay at it. Snowboarding takes three days, tops, before you can make it down the hill without looking retarded. Then you can spend the rest of your life trying to learn tricks.

So you are saying, that snowboarding is cooler because it is easier?
