And if anybody values my opinion I dont think that snowboarder pic is THAT bad, I mean its bad, but I know a shitload of skiers that cant keep their arms down on a disaster.
Snowboarders on that site probally arent real snowboarders. Think about it, its on burtons website. Burton as in the snowboard conglomerate. So most of those kids talking shit are probally the stupid snowboarders that suck at our mountains. Think about the good boarders at your mountain, most are nice, and dont talk shit, and respect your skiing. So there opinions on that website mean shit to me.
I dont think it is. I think its perfectly ethical. First, he took a shot at somebody else, a boarder, yeah, a NSer, no, but a person. If he said he had no steeze, hes leaving himself open to shit like that. I honestly believe you cant talk shit about somebody unless you can do a lot better. He put the pics on NS for all to see, so anybody can right click, copy image location. I just want to let NS decide if hes got the right to give the kid shit, I'm making no effort to decide cause that rail would rob me of my ability to have kids.
i am gona totally agree with you there. all the good snowboarders at my mountain are very chill layed back and arent little pricks. all the ones that suck yell at you from the chair lift and shit, then you see them in the park sitting on their ass or falling every 2 seconds.
I totally agree. A great example of the type of skier you are describing (and the most obvious one) is Eric Pollard. I'd really like to see some more footage of him in the park...

dance dance revolution! hahahaha, that's exactly what hopping around on rails reminds me of! can't believe we had to find that out through snowboarders watching a skier. but true nontheless.
haha that forum is hilarious. Seriously I thought boarders where finnaly getting over skiing becoming legit. But apparently not. Somebody post a link to thris thread in their thread so they can see what they think.
And to you boarders, I hope you realise skiing is very quickly becoming more popular than snowboarding, not that I care you all just seem so wrapped up in that kind of thing that you might care
i think a lot of those kids on the burton site didn't get the context of the edit either. They don't know that it is a super unknown entry or what the contest is for that matter, and edit which in based on show casing talent, not the artistic ability of the editor and filmer.
but yeah, those kids were pretty arrogant, they're stuck in the idea, "anything different from what i do is lame"
its so true that he looks like a top though, he needs to try some presses or just stop spinning so much, its cool and all once and awhile, but it gets really old.
Absolutely. Having lived in the mountains and out of the mountains I will say that the boarders who lived in the mountains were far cooler than the others.
There are idiots in both sports. Some of the posts defending skiing look to me as if they are done by skiers who just joined the site. I would try not to do that. Don't stoop to their level.
while reading all this shit, i ask my self...i wonder what tom thinks about this...should he be insulted? should he be flattered that hes being seen by both sides of the winter sport spectrum? ahhaha id be stoked!
the mammoth trap box picture i think would be steezy, but the picture isnt really showing it. gap to front board would be sick, and usually when people do front boards they look under there leading arm, hence the ninja about to pounce style he has goin in that picture
holy piss!!! tom wallisch is killin!!! thats ill, those 4Bi9 videos are all good too though..
as to the no poles thing, i think poles look better, i mean ya they dont help in park, but personally i would hate to ditch my poles in the morning and want to ski something besides park and not have my poles.
holy shit that edit. Do we get to see that kid in comps and vids next year? I really hope so. I haven't been that stoked on a rider since T Heed's Wicked segment.
As for all the hate on his 'dancing around on rails'... that's how you make it look good, fucking rewinds and pretzels and shit. The kind of dancing around on boxes that pisses me off is like what pretty much every rider in the X-Games did, 270 on, sw up, sw up, 270 out, all spinning the same way. This kid is sick as fuck.
wow i never knew so many retarded snowboarders could be on one place in the internet at the same time
i mean god damn we arent that much of dicks to snowboarders

stfu with all this shit about Pollard. Yes he's a god at skiing, has redefined BC shit, ect, ect... But he is NOT the end all be all to style. Quite frankly, I think some of his shit looks goofy as hell with those wide skis. But this kid is 10x steezier than Pollard.
If you don't like the spining, click the X at the top of the browser window and pop in one of your BC centered DVDs. Comps and park are about progressing shit, not doing 'nice, slow, stylish sw5s' like everyone says.
