u may think this is equiptment catagorie but its not. i just witness a guy skiing that looked like a penguin... due to the xxl jacket when he should a been in a m whats up with this. like i love my big baggy pants and a fitting jacket. i understand the gangster style on the hill but come on some people have gone overkill on the subject.  i hate it  it also makes them look like migets.  ne comments

well dude, I just had a thread kind of like this and let me tell you it was a very two sided issue. you're going to get pounded because many people think that it shouldn't matter if you look ridiculous to a ton of people it's only if it feels good, but at the same time you'll get people like me who feel that freestyle skiing should not be publicly seen as a bunch of people with extreme clothing styles.

Wear what you want...but there IS a point in which people will start laughing at you.

Personally i wouldn't wear stuff that baggy because it starts to get in the way. But the really baggy stuff is just a phase that skiing is going through  so i really could care less what people wear.

i got XXL XL L and XL, but honestly NONE of it is too big, its baggy its not overkill like those douches, it fits fine just has a nice sag, but like that picture of that last thread on this, that kid just looked like a fag.

I got L stuff and I'm 6', and only the jacket could be a bit bigger.
So yeah, some 5'6 people wearing XXL look rediculous, and don't need that much clothing.
However I'm not gonna discourage people from wearing it, because people should wear what they want.

pants down around the knees is what worries me. Ur whole butt and crotch region would get cold and it kinda hampers ur movement capabilites. this happened to me once with like 12 year old hand me down sears pants. the button and zipper just gave way and there was nothing left to hold up the pants. It was really uncomfortable.

I find it funny that this is only prevalent in the park.  When you get into freeskiing or backcountry people don't wear huge stuff because it's impractical and gets in the way all the time.  Not to mention it's hard to skin up something with your XXXL pants around your knees getting stuck in your bindings.  However, people are free to dress whatever way they want, and I feel fine being totally isolated from this trivial controversy.

seriousy tight pants isnt emo!!!  its just what WHITE people have pretty much always worn.  my dad wore sweet bellbottoms in the 70's that were extremely tight and thats like the opposite of emo.   i like the style cause its really just dressing how people do in real life, but while skiing, which is sweet.  plus it just adds a whole new style.

The other weekend I wore my friends 3XL tan jacket that he got at pocket change express for 10 dollars.   I pretty much wore it as a joke because you can fit 3 people in it, and it was fun to see the reaction people had when they saw this circus tent I was wearing, I tell them it is exactly large enough to fit an AK under and they just get confused.  Normally I wear all XL but sometimes its fun to pretend you have a little gangsta in you.

yeah, we need some of the overly extreme gangsters, and the goofy hesh surface guys, and the all neon guys to give our sport variety, if we were all one way it would suck.
