The Videos that the Ski Pole industry does not want you to see...
im sure if a ski pole manufacturer saw that video they would just laugh their assess off due to the fact that you look like a snowblader/retard in them. im not hating on you in particular, just people who dont use poles.
"U dumb bitch, first off not even cold in the slightest, me and others
were in t-shirts with our jackets wide open and still sweatin, r u sure
ur a skier cause if u r then 30 is like skiing in jamacia. second way
to not mention anyone but the winners, u call this even coverage? sure
go ahead and talk just about the willi’s and how cute it is that they
match and ones 6’3” and the others 4’9”. But u completely missed
mentioning any tricks thrown, no name drops of any sort. Steve and Cody
both threw down hard and u just say “oh yeah them, they got 2nd and
3rd” there were others that deserved credit, Austin Torvinien for one
threw so much shit down, most people say he shouldve won but he didnt
make finals due to this incredibly flawed style of running a comp. Now
im not saying that the willis shouldntve won but i do belive other
people should have at least gotten a shot to compete in the finals. And
Finally we come to my faveorite poriton of the rant…..While im out
throwin down as hard as i could with a torn ass muscle, my good friend
allen is filming everything when he takes notice to the fact that
everytime someone without poles takes a run, u put down the camera. Me,
cody, and many others are reppin the no poles movement and are throwin
down way harder than most people with poles, and u dont even give us
credit with a single shot or mention. No poles is getting to be a
bigger and bigger part of this sport and u calling yourselves a
magazine trying to push the sport dont even help out the lil guys just
cause we dont use the “correct equipment”. Back to allen he goes up to
u and asks “why arent u taking pictures of no polers?” well at least u
were honest with your answer by saying “we here at freeskier dont
support no poles”. what a policy, deserting members of a sport u are
trying to promote and help flourish and u just abandon a portion of it.
Way to go, pat yourselves on the back u just lost all credibility in
the eyes of your subscibers. All i can say about this is: killer comp,
tons of fun, wish i could do it again next year, TERRIBLE COVERAGE."
I watched the first 2 vids, all of the tricks could be done with or without poles? you could make the arguement that handdrags would be next to impossible with poles but they're stil doable. So my question is why should they be scared, i didn't see enoh tricks that could only be done with no poles to convince me to boycott the pole industry.
Shit looks like ROLLER BLADING. If you want to be something else go do it but don't make skiing look so fucking gay. There is no difference in doing moves like that on boxes and not having poles than making out with a dude on rollerblades. ITS FUCKING GAY!!!!!
I don't think I have ever seen anyone hating on good edits of people with poles. That's not my point.
But you do get called out for no poles. Also there is definitely evidence of people being pressured to use poles at comps. I know what some of you might say.. "Just suck it up..What do you care what other people say?" Well you're right, you should do whatever you like. I am just pointing out that there is a real bias out there and its inconsistent with the idea of "freestyle". Unfortunately I think some of this is definitely related to money. Ski poles are not free... Although I can't imagine that they would lose that much money since most regular skiers and racers will still buy poles.
POLES are SKIING its part of it. Would be like skating with no wheels. I guess if your going to go slow and do dance moves down rails and not try to get after it you don't really need them. Point is if your a pussy you don't need poles but if your going to go ski like its supposed to be done you need poles
DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION doesn't require skis either. You can just fag off with your buddys in your living room while your mom makes snacks for you and all your little bitch friends and then you don't need to even go out side. Do that instead of the NO POLES thing and then you'll be onto some way new shit
I don't really care about this arguement, but I found this funny:
"skiing without poles is like getting a blow job from a guy, it's feels great until you look down and realize you're gay." - matt3668 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uef31X3QGSQ)
Who gives a shit if you didn't have poles. Anyone respects anyone else if they have good style and aren't flailing without poles. Asian_allen's video should be a promotional video for pole companies about how retarded it can look.
Oh no, Freeskier won't shoot some gaper ass midwest kids. It was probably easier to explain that Freeksier won't shoot no poles instead of explaining to you how fucking wack your style is and even though it is a shit magazine, you wouldn't grace the pages of it, not now, not ever.
Im a poler but if im trying something im uncomfortable with I ditch them. I dont think it fair to say that no polers look bad or good, its all about how a specific person looks w/o them, if their holding their hands up like ricky bobby in an interview thats kinda stupid but if their all chill about it then its fine
second, she did admit to the whole mag hating on no polers, and if u were there ud understand that some serious shit wasnt even mentioned
third, never call the midwest gaper, were far from it, theres gapers where u live and we dont generalize u as a gaper.
If ur gonna hate on the midwest ur hating on Iberg, jamie pierre, cody ling, and many other ppl that throw down harder than u ever will, check any of horners vids, allens vids, and chris mckeevers superunkown finals vid.
fuck off... ive been trying to ignore these arguments but this is just
too gay. none of you guys should even give a shit, just let people do
whatever they want to do. yes, poles can be part of skiing, but they
dont have to be... no, its not like skating with no wheels, sorry...
honestly,
the thread starter makes a good point, but when i watch an edit
i dont even notice if someone has poles are not. it
shouldn't matter, you shouldnt care, stop making all these gay
comparisons, do whatever you feel like. seriously, who gives a shit? all these arguments are getting way old and need to stop...
