Replying to When the fuck did freestyle skiing become so 'gangster'?

seriously, in a traditionaly white sport that is currently dominated by rich white teens from the suburbs driving their mom's volvo suv... why is there such a huge presense of this so called 'gangsterness'? yea, i aggree that style is just as important as skill, but the fact that you don't look like a straight up retard doesnt make you gangster in the least bit

i actually want to hear some other opinions on this so dont just post some bullshit
