STOP THE FLAIR

It's 2007 and pro skiers are still doing flairs in their halfpipe runs. You don't see tricks from the late 90's in slopestyle. Why does that shit fly in halfpipe? If you need more flair, hang a bandana out of your pocket, or wear a fanny pack for Christ's sake.

"connard" is kind of idiomatic. i think it's like a casual version of cunt. if only there was a good french word for the bandit's mask. from now on i will call it the connard rag. the flair i will call the connard roll.

I will vouch for this too...cork 9s are easier than flares...

The slow rotation is usually the most deadly one.

and you know what, fuck the basket ball jerseys. your skiing...bandannas though are legit.

if it is snowing like a muthafucker bandana and goggles are an essential protection from the elements. Do you like going fast and having hail pick you off in the face? How bout roost off of your buddies tails while doing mach 5? It doesnt feel good. Bandanas pretect from this. I once owned a strechy mesh one that allowed you to breathe through better without fogging your goggles.

Just get rid of the basketball jerseys. you all look like fags on the hill with them.

i was mainly targeting people who wear the bandit's mask OFF of the hill . . . like at a ski movie premiere. just as candide's flair is an exception to faux_real's first law of halfpipe tricks, there can be exceptions to faux_real's second law of accessorizing. with your permission, i would like to include your clause against basketball jerseys in my second law.

I bet anyone who said in this tread that flair are easy or dont look good ... if you were on the coping when a pro did a flair about a good 13 feet above your head .. you would definatly be impressed ... live is way different then in a movie or on TV.
