I think it's funny considering where they started.

It's summer and kids are just venting, the fire will burn itself out. Skiing is fun it's cool to see new and different niches emerge, it's progression.

Thward and Surface are both companies that bring me new ideas and options in skiing with their own personalities and strengths for me to choose to buy into...and for that I am grateful to both, regardless of what they, or I, am wearing. Goodnight everyone.

I am not artsy. I do take art classes though. Read my post above everyone else that can't pick up Matty's kind words.

i don't know about you guys but one great thing i like about freeskiing is that it has its own little subculture. its such a tightly knight community(although this thread seems to indicate otherwise) and i like that fact that everyone dresses the same. i purposely don't dress a stand out or make a fashion statement while skiing because i like identifying with other skiers.
now don't get me wrong, i have no problem with people wanting to stand out from the crowd when skiing but i personally choose not to do that because i like the fact that freeskiers have a specific style.
as for progression of the sport, i think its great, but the reason people hate on things like no poles and tight pants is because they don't think it looks good. myself included. In general, i think skiing with poles and baggy pants just strait up looks cooler than without poles and with tight pants.
there has been PLENTY of progression in freeskiing and there still is. progression for the sake if progression is pointless, there needs to be direction, if you think no poles is more stylie, then don't ski with poles, but don't not ski without poles just because you want to be different
and i was just using poles as an example.

Seriously, shut up. Everyone. Now. I personally like Surface, AND, I personally like Ninthward. So shut the fuck up, no one cares how great or how shitty a company is doing. They arn't doing anything to you.

whoops.
I've been gone for a while and managed to miss little 5 page addition to the thread title. I regret even looking at this thread because honestly, it scares me. Look at this, the hate isn't even making sense anymore. I have no idea what the fuck is going on.

hi, um how can i make my oakley parachute pants tighter? i heard about this cool original company and everyone on newschoolers.com likes them a lot and are buying their skis next year so they can get creative as fuck.
i want to get creative as fuck too, so i figured my first step should be to slim up my slacks. get me a pair of those skis and maybe a scarf, and it should just happen. right?
also i was just wondering if i could see the original team creative in action a bit, because i acually haven't seen anything so far that stands out. i mean, the pants look great and everything. really. i'd just like something more so i can see what's really so different between my skiing and theirs. i hope they're actually good and stuff...

The ignorance in this thread is mind-boggling.
How many companies have as much of a distinct personality as Surface? Face it, theres more to a ski company than just the skis. And unless you've skied on them, don't talk smack. I happen to LOVE their sticks. I got a ride a pair of Watch Lifes in Tahoe briefly and I fell in love.

really though, i'm excited to see the new surface team film.
they'll either make it or break it as a team, in my eyes.
i just heard about all the stuff ninthward has been and is up too and am very stoked on them. i've seen enough to know that the image and the team they're creating themselves is incredible.

its not about image at surface, its about what is in your head.
but check out Off Trail's "catchy title" to see some of it or wait for the surface flick to surface.

Please.
Companies that produce / have produced skis at the PALE factory:
- Armada
- Ninthward
- Surface
I guess they're all the same ski with a different top sheet!!

haha are you for real?
until 2 years ago Armada produced ALL their skis at the Pale factory. Your logic is really silly. Basically your claim is that ALL Armadas, ALL Ninthwards, ALL Surface and ALL Pale skis are the same ski with a different top sheet, more or less. Fantastic claim bro.

With that, one had to avoid listening to comment made my mods about ninthward. It's pretty much their job to kill 9.

Well dude..the thing is that if you go to their site and look at the rider's list and look at the pictures and videos and stuff, everyone's wearing tight pants.
Now for fuck's sake I said that I friggin liked that, why does everyone keep saying "it's a stereotype" and shit. It's not a stereotype, it's an observation of all the kids that ride for them. And why does everyone hate the fact that the go and in hand. If you really didn't care about what you wear on the slope, you wouldn't hate it.
I believe that not everyone who skis them rocks the tight pants and now that not everyone who rides for them doesn't (slandis, malone). But damn! What a backlash just for wondering if they were purposely supporting that steeze. Personally that would have been cool if they had intended it that way (which I think they did at some point cause come on that can't just be a coincidence, and it goes with a certain style of skiing that they must have been after). I think it's a good way to freshen skiing up.
But not warrantying shit and charging a lot for the same sticks that you can get under a blank name for much cheaper...not cool at all.

it's not my job (or any other mod's) to kill 9, stupid. NS never told me or anyone else to hate on 9ward in any way, that'd be retarded.
my saying " FUCK NINTHWARD" is soleley the opinion of myself formed on the retarded instances, and pooor business ethics of the bunch of morons who call them selves the ninthward ski company
