this thread shows that nobody should ever hate on gapers. most ppl on this site were gapers at one point.

during the prime of my gaping I purchased a pair of racing boots to do park in because the shop guy said they were good, now of course I know I should have bought full tilts!

ahh I hate myself for doing a full tilt joke but when I wrote about what I did, I couldnt help it

I still wear one under my helmet when a bandanna isn't enough to keep my head warm (that's most days in MN).

I was a racer, but it gets worse, I was a SHITTY RACER.

I do that daily.  Usually, I'm skiing incredibly lazily and backseat while doing so.

I would throw spread eagles like nobody's business. 

BTW for those of you who said "I used to think Johnney Moseley was the best skier ever"...

that doesn't make you a gaper. 

He single handedly linked mogul skiing to what is now known as freeskiing and had more of an influence on modern skiing than that ass Tanner Hall ever will.  The 360 mute he threw in the 98 Olympics is still my favorite trick of all time.

i though i was soooooo cool...and i was, in the mid-90s.  i still made fun of those kids with the wacky hats tho.

also back when i used to gape, i would go into the park (they were nothing back then) and hit the side of jumps on my Atomic straights, because i did not believe the hype of shaped skis.

back when i used to gape i was in middle school ski club and thought i was the shit cause I had my black diamond sticker.

btw my child will never gape, they will always have twin-tips and will be throwing corks, flips and rodeos by the time there 10. im going to train them so they can pay for my skiing habit. mwahahahahah!
