Replying to What really grinds my gears on NS today.
Although NS is the greatest thing since sliced bread there are certain aspects of it which are just going downhill and need to be stopped NOW.
1. Threads on the Frenchie grinds/ one footers and all their rollerblading connections.
Get it right, new grinds are progression for our sport whether you like it or not. Obviously when two people come into an argument with opposing ideas on this over the internet, they aren't going to change their minds, so why argue? Sure they may be related to rollerblading, but I dont ski becuse its "cool" and I'm not going to stop skiing because there are certain aspects of it are related to rollerblading. I ski because it is fun. We dont need 1000 more threads on it.
2. Threads on Tanner Hall/Mik D.
First of all stop raggin on tanner because he pro and your not. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but lets get the facts straight, you're hating on a pro whos better than you ever will be. If you dont like his style, attitude or the way he dresses no one really gives a fuck because he's skiing aand having a great time doing it. So let's support not hate on our fellow skiers or else the ski industry is going to become similar to the skate industry, and evryone jus rips on everyones shit and all of their mb's are full of hate, and are about if you are not known or good enough then dont think about showing up to the spot.
Now for Mik D thats a different story. Everyone is building up more hype for him than he deserves. Sure he is steezy but you know what, he hasn't put out a solid video part in a long time. It seems that instead of him progressing more and more each year, he just does half of what he did the year before.
3. All of the teasers being made.
As skiing gets bigger and bigger each year, more people get into our sport, more stuffs bought... all that goodstuff... and the industry gets bigger. Im not trying to act like I know much about the ski industry because I really dont know anything at all. But what I do know is that as skiing gets bigger, more kids get into it and film more. Theres is so much good shit coming from kids these days it crazy. But way too many kids are putting out teasers for videos that never even come out. They have got to realize that theres a difference between a teaser for a video and just a fun edit of your friends.
So lets just let skiers be skiers and ski.
