For a snowboarding company airblaster is pretty aware of the newschool skiing crowd. They have a few sick ski videos on their site in the news section.

as far as i know, thats not true... although its conveiniant

and as far as not copying snowobarding and all that shit goes... how many people were freeskiing before snowboarding was invented? albeit skijumping, which looks really fucking stupid unless youre into that yuppie alpine aspen spin and flip as much as possible bullshit

snowboarding and skiing are inextricably bound, people need to get over it... theres really no reason to hate skiing/snowboarding since everyone is focusing on the same goals just with different things strapped to their feet.

and for airblasters, if you like em...wear em... if you dont, dont

simple as that

Now if they worked like booster straps i think i would get one but otherwise i dont know about the 70 bucks

it does seem convenient though since your not gonna land on it and nothing is gonna be falling out of your pockets

cool idea

so many snowboarders have them... and who cares if not many skiers were them because its not original if you see a bunch of snowboarders were them and then you were one.. i dont care and i think its cool u r wearing one but dont claim that u r being original cause ur not.

its more original then. becaue think about it, nothing is original cuz somebody is doing it somewhere. there are less people who have airblasters then people who dont.

to be honest man you're a good skier and all, but you're so far up your own ass that any trends you're copying from snowboarding pretty much suck hard imo

I think hood people hate it more just because pretty much every snowboarder that wants to be cool wears one of those with women's ski pants or women's jeans and a striped sweater. it's just the boarder's hood thing.

WHO CARES WHAT THEY HOLD OR NOT...

It's not like (some of) you wear Baskteball Jerseys to the hill to keep you warm... or bandanas in your back pockets... Everything you chose to wear or not to wear obviously affects your look and your steeze. Perhaps Ian likes the way that bag looks on his leg (duuuh), and if so I see nothing wrong with him wearing it.

its too far. its a snowboard thing. im cool with them wearing em, but we really need to start coming up with out own style here. so man companies (grenade, anon)all started with snowboarding. i mean, its cool that we can finally hang out together without problems like it used to be, everyone hating on everyone else because of whats on their feet. but we need to establish our own identity here. thats just my two cents.

it issssssssssss copying snowboarding. but still it's way over priced and it's completely pointless. I have over 15 pockets on my jacket and pants and they all have these amazing things called zippers on them. if u wanna show which way ur natural slide and spin is why don't u save urself $70 and just tie a bandana or something on ur leg. I just think they are a waste of money because they have absouloutly no good purpose for the price. If they were $50 cheaper, then maybe they'd be alright.

i still think that whole thing about it meaning "fun on the snow." it's still just some overpriced useless product... that's just some marketing scheme to get ppl to waste there money on it.

Look I don't judge gay people or anything like that so I wont judge people who wear airblaster shit. But at least gay people didnt pay $70 to be gay.

How about this rediculous proposal:

Wear what you want to wear!

It doesn't matter why you want to.

Just do it.

Please.

Stop discussing this.

yeah, how is wearing an ankle bracelet with pockets about having fun? i thought i was having fun already without it, what with the 4 pockets on my pants and 6 on my coat.

and it wouldnt work for showing whether skiers were sliding/spinning switch. what if you do them opposite ways?
