Replying to Why is skiing so far behind snowboarding?

Sir.Pete:
First of all i dont give a fuck about tricks, you can argue till the cows come home about which sport has more tech/ better looking tricks etc. blah blah pretzl zomg blah. fuck off dont talk about it here.

okay,


So in terms of creativity and just general scene and people.. why is skiing so far behind when half your friends ski, and half snowboard? you all ride together and all that, but as soon as someone becomes good enough to do somethign with skiing why do they fuck it all up and conform to being so skier. yet the snowboarder is not at the same level and so much cooler etc.
i know why i think it is. but i want to hear what you have to say.










oh by the way its cuz of this website. every single skier is on here watching the same guy and idolizing the same guy and therefor becoming the same guy. snowboarding people are takin influence from other things and not watching just one snowboarder do the same trick with the same style. different groups of snowboarders will follow different trends and create new things and the better vibes, a more diverse industry, and more room for growth of the sport. MORE MONEY.

hesh skiers are starting something, sure following snowboarding but creating a niche that is hated on way to much and DIVERSIFYING our sport.

I would love to see everyone spend a few months during season to ski without this site. dont follow the frontflip or pretzl trend and just do what you want, just ski the way you want and not how someone else does who is a million times better. figure out your thing and go with it and skiing would get so much cooler.




lame.
