tanner hall and the mothafucking C-Crew, actually kindof serious, being punk was cool, rap was cool, skiers wanted to be cool and "different" than what was already being done. I guess that's how it started.

And where did snowboarding get it you say, why skateboarding of course, and where did they get it? It's because they actually were mostly hood...its the transitive property of the thuglife//

park skiing was kinda an underground sport, as a result the guys who did it hand a kind of hood attitude and it stuck

We stole that look from Snowboarding.

The real question is, when did we all start dressing like hipster queers with the tight pants and dress jackets. What the fuck is that shit?

I started wearing skinny snow pants cause of skating not because of snowboarding. I've been wearing skinnies before snowboarders have.

Were you wearing them while skiing though? This would only be valid if you were wearing skinny jeans skiing about 7 years ago.

If you wear them in normal life then that is a normal skate influence.

Snow steals shit from skate too, they're the same as us but we wait until they have done it.

skateboarding > snowboarding > Skiing

I believe that it is because a while ago all the kids that didn't know much about winter sports thought snowboarding was a lot cooler than skiing, and that skiing was only a sport for families and old people. Naturally the youth that was interested in the freestyle progression of the sport wanted to disprove the majority of the human population and try to show people that they were "thug" and even cooler than the snowboarders. Therefore the hood skiers were born. From there on out people just copied the look from these trendsetters and tried to act just as cool as them. I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing, more of a part of the freestyle skier culture, I personally enjoy wearing tall clothing as it sets me apart from the rest of the crowd that is usually on the mountain.

Snowboarders do hood better. The Technine dudes actually look kinda scary. All of the Stept guys look harmless. MALONE is the only skier that comes close.

the OG C-Crew.

Gorilla Steeze

There is a reason Pop Yer Bottlez was essentially a gluttonous rap video. Those guys started it.

B-Dog and HH are just eating off the loaf that C-Crew Baked.

Just the idea of skiing being "hood" is confusing.

When i'm on the mountain I feel whiter than just about any other time

Yo, pay attention and listen real closely how I break this slang shit down. My weed smoke is my lye, a key of coke is a pie, when I'm lifted, I'm high, with new clothes on, I'm fly. Cars is whips and sneakers is kicks, money is chips, movies is flicks.

Also, cribs is homes, jacks is pay phones, cocaine is nose candy, cigarettes is bones, a radio is a box, a razor blade is a ox, fat diamonds is rocks and jakes is cops

I know you like the way I'm freakin' it, I talk with slang and I'ma never stop speakin' it

Streetz is watchin, you gots to represent ya digg?

Skiin' aint no thang to a cracker-ass white-boi, so he gotta ackrite, or else he gon' get snuffed.
