oh but the not paying their athletes was reffering specifically to ian cosco, I hear that's why he's on atomic these days. w/e though small company shit happens
factory fucks over ninthward by fucking up there skis
ninthward has no skis to sell
ninthward has no money because they haven't sold skis
therefore ninthward has no money to pay ian cosco
too bad no one can do the little math that it takes and just say "THEY ARE DOUCHEBAGS THEY DON'T PAY THEIR ATHLETES BLAH BLAH"
next year they will be back, and stronger than ever!
hmm there's lots of kids that can throw down as hard as the pros in skiing. Unless that's what you're saying. But I don't see how that pulls down the ski industry that pushes everyone harder to pull something new to stay on top
then add all the reps who just sponser kids for the same shit, who do 450 on same way switchup same way 900 off and look over kids that actually do technically difficult tricks, like nollie tail bagel 450 or something rediculously hard.
go skiing. whoooooooooooooo
it takes time to ski with people who are actually doing harder tricks or adding something NEW to the industry and are better than me but are getting extermely underpaid, or overlooked to realize why boaders look at skiing and laugh.
k I completly agree with you there. Not saying I'm good at rails or anythign but there's about 500 east coast kids out there that kill it on rails, thing is it's no big deal, everyone and their mom can do crazy tech rail tricks these days it seems. To be honest I'm sick of watching that, ya it was cool at first, I remember the first pretzel I saw, made me stand up and yell I was so impressed, thing is everyone can do it now, there's people trying to do cool new things that don't get respect
but. cool new rail tricks arent 270 on switchup switchup same spin off.
if anyone watched the railjam at whis.. sammy won with a 270 on same way 3 switchup same way switchup again sameway 270 off. sammy has all the talent in the world.. yet does one of the easiest things in the history of skiing, spinning on to a rail and kept on spinning the same way.
too bad the judges comPLETLEY overlooked casabons over 270 on the down to swich out...
or coscos hard way 270 on pretz 270 out or his 450 on to the street style rail. Sure it's just spinnign on but 450 onto a street setup is new and very damn impressive,
Mark if nollies and stuff are what you like do yourself a favor and make yourself a pair of rockered skis. Most fun things in the world, I never wanna go back to traditional camber skis.
lewl. its not what i like to do, its what has to be done haha. more kids just need to start realizing how lame some shit is in the ski industry i guess, and how overrated some shit is, its just a pet peeve.
Andrew Taylor: You say your all for what Dreb is saying yet all I see in the promo is 1620's and double same way switchups. Your a sick skier man but shit dosnt add up.
There arnt that many people out there who can realy throw down tech rail tricks. There are alot of them who can throw down 270 on same way swtichs / out... but not alot can throw tech pretzels and presses.
Maybe im missing something in ur argument but yo tech rail tricks are a big deal and not everyone and their mom can do em..
