first off, im not gonna watch the movie, or read 75% of this thread. it just pisses me off that:
the people who are being attacked cant except it that someone dissed their style.
to begin wiht 4bi9 is stands for exactly what this vis is making fun of. if i recall, in someones defense of 4bi9, they said, we ski for fun, and just like wearing the clothes we wear. its kinda hard to beleive all of that with the rediculous clothes that you wear. its absurd, why would u wear quad xls and think its cool? the traditional baggy fit is cool, but there is a point where its beyond that. and judging by the vids of 4bi9, there choice in music is also something that makes them have an irrgular image. the 'skiing' is good if u call slaying a rail skiing, well its sick i guess.
really what im saying is image and style is all personal preference. it sounds as tho the people who made the movie had a good message but portrayed it poorly. i do like how they showed it expecting to be bashed, because more people on ns really just enjoy this 4bi9 crap. which sucks, and is one of those things that pros would say could ruin or completly alter the freeskiing image thats been worked so hard for.
for me, i ski for fun, wear what i think looks cool. its hard not to follow trends. i always say with my friend who always wants to wear big clothes when we sesh is that u gotta be able to throw down to wear it. i take that back.
finally, its just frusterating to see where some of these types of skiing are going. i do enjoy urban rails very much, and very tech rail tricks, but now that most people can do multiple switchups and pretzels and spins on and off rails, rails in the park are becoming obsolete. steeze and style are much more importante to me as well. skimatic did a good job in showing where skiing is going, or should be. progessive urbans and backcountry. not that this is new, but thats what ski movie sshould be, some tgr esq mixed with l1. its a stretch but it could be epic.
personally, i have an opinion, u dont have to like it, but you have to respect me for stating it. theres a good chance one of u who defends 4bi9 will bitch me out, but i have an opinion. if u give me strong evidence to alter it, i can change my opinion.
if you want to argue with me, dont talk to me through this thread, pm me, as i doubt ill ever check this thread again.
thanks
