jiberish was the leader of that style back when there stuff went to 5xl. Now the biggest you can get on most things is 3xl. shit is too small

most deffinatley miss it. However i don't feel as though its gone. i still see tons of people rocking 2-4xl pants and tall tees. I think it is just as the skiing community has progressed so had a lot of different styles. i feel the gangster style is still present, but now we have a whole variety of different steezes, looks and styles. I however love the gangster style and try to rep it in my ridding for sure.

I think a bunch of riders till rock that OG style, just less flashy colours which if you ask me if totally fine.Take for example John Ware. A big factor is that many brands don't make those huge baggy sizes or dimensions anymore like Virtika (fd) even though their stuff is still nice its just not as baggy. But on the other hand brands like Tall T which still make those dope fits we used to love and I can't see that style going away, because its a root style of our sport and many people including me love it.

To be fair, I can definitely respect the baggy era and how big it was for skiing with edits like slum dog Ilionaire and I don't give two shits if someone wants to wear baggy clothes. I just feel like the newer, more street clothes influenced style looks 10x better.

I hated the super baggy gangster look...that being said its just clothes so whatever people can do what they want. But I loved the style associated with that gangster type of skiing. The slow, smooth, flowy style just got to me and I still try to ride with that type of style.

They're just trends, looks, styles, whatever. If you like one, great. If you don't, just wait a minute.

Personally, I like a more tailored, functional look, so I dig the skinnier side of it, but that's me.

"gangster" style or whatever its called was fun for a minute, but then I reached a point where freezing your dick off cuz all your 3XL cotton layers are soaked/iced over wasn't fun anymore.

That Dumont edit more or less epitomized that era of skiing, hence why everyone is bringing it up. Obviously there were others.

The forced "afterbang" that this style popularized needs to stop also. You look like your'e trying wayyyy too hard when you land a front 2 and ride out all dramatically, which unfortunately I see all the time at keystone.

WHY DID 5 LAYER 7-XL TALL TEE STEEZ GO RETRO ?

JUST LOOK AT DOLLO (FAR RIGHT) AND B-DOG (2ND FROM RIGHT)




IF THE TEE DONT TOUCH UR BOOTS, U GOT 0 STEEZ. DEAL WITH IT.
