Alright so last weekend I saw these kids. One had mavericks, one had 1080s and one had another pair of lines...They had to have been 14 or 15, and they kept going off these little lips and trying to do spread eagles. Not even good ones. And after their 2 feet of air, they would stop and gloat to the others 'Dude did you see that awsome spread' or about how much air they got.

Now don't get me wrong, I am all for the 'Gotta start somewhere' comradery progressing the sport stuff. But 600 dollar set ups to do bad spread eagles? It was just kinda annoying. It wouldnt have been so bad if they were 10 or 11 and stuff, but they were like 14. I mean it's no big deal, but I hope they watch the X games this year so they learn people grab their skis now.

maybe they saw you watching and were like 'Lets make this kid think we're dumbfucks'. Probably not though. As long as they were having fun its all good.

I agree with the first post here. 600 dollar setups for beginner skiers is rediculas regardless of what they are doing.
Spreadeagles are pretty stupid but sometimes i do them just for fun.

Trust me, they didn't see me and wanted to make me think they sucked. I was in the chairlift, so they didn't notice.
Oh well. More power to them.

Kids doing spreads are why the ski industry fucking sucks dick. I see 6 and 8 year old snowboarders doing some pretty sweet shit, and getting props for it, while these little fucking skier groms go out and think twisters and spreads are cool because that's what the old people used to do (and still do). Skiing will suck ass until everyone over the age of about 30 dies and with it the knowledge of mogul skiing and twister-twister-spreads.

Twisters are great, add a grab and do the trick perpendicular to the slope, then turn back. Looks pretty sweet if you ask me. Or maybe there's one of those fancy names for that grab that I'm unaware of because I don't own a tricktionary.

600 dollar setups for beginners are fine. Most people if they go skiing a lot will outgrow their cheapo setups pretty quickly. You might as well just spend the money at the beginning.

kids have got to start somewhere...im from england an only get to ski 3 weeks a year at most, on holiday in america and the alps and it is pretty hard for kids to get a foothold in the park scene ya know..u just need to encourage them and show them some rad shit and they will want to be like you, rather than some mogul skier. education is the way

Then I will remain ignorant until you drop some knowledge on me smarty pants. Let's hear it. Kids having fun are fine, that's what they are supposed to do -- kids steezed out with gear who ski like shit are retarded.

I support beginners and stuff. I just wanted to share. It was just annoying to see it. And also, I know the old skool stuff is where it started. But honestly, how hard is it to do a safety? The part that got to me most was the one kid who turned to the other and gloated about his air, and the other kids were so excited about their spread eagles. That just looks ignorant and shitty.

sometime me and my friends do that for fun. we go to vallue village, buy some shitty outfits and then pizza our way into the park, so everyone thinks 'omg what the f*** are these guys doing in here'. we talk all funny and act all stupid and do spread eagles and stuff. but then we just like spin a 5 or something off the big booters, and they shut up

but put yourself in the little kids situation. mom:'Ok little jonny lets go get some skis'
little jonny:'really mom, can i can i'
mom:'yes hunny i just want you to be happy'
little jonny:'cool mum I want these ones'
the end.

as if when you parents off you something you dont take full advantage, if they cant afford it they'll tell you. i reckon these kids just had the choice of what ever they want. IF you had the choice of a ferrari or a second hand russian built shit box your gonna take the ferrari unless your retarded.

today i saw a kid with brand new 1080's and the boots, and s910 ti's, (why the hell would you get s910's when your DIN's no higher than 5??)
instead of hitting the normal 30 footer, they did butter-switch 3's on the two foot hips, and always talking shit
they should die


anyone wanna trade movies for my brand new session 1242 or RFA?

you think those kids had a choice in what gear they got? they probably told their parents they wanted some twin tips, and their parents, who are most likely loaded, bought them the best pair money could buy. its not their fault they're on top of the line gear, blame the parents.

and dont be hurtin on old school tricks. i GUARANTEE thats how you started off.

Dude i worked all summer for new skis and Im not gonna get some freakin solomon verses and marker bindings cuz they are cheap and beginner status. But still, even though Im not good I try and at least try to sty out of the way. But yeah, some kids at sierra at tahoe were doing 'old school' stuff and they did daffys and spreads. It was pretty funny.
