Should I wear tall t's

alright, my season is over and all that, but I was wondering: for next year, even though I'm still pretty much a noob at freeskiing, should i wear tall t's. I feel like if I do, and someone sees that i suck, he'll say "u don't have the right to wear that tall t yet."

so my question, again, is: Should I wait a bit till I'm better at freeskiing to wear them?

if you want to go ahead, but in my case i can tell you that if i see somebody that sucks with the coolest gear i think what a poser.

it's up to you, if you're aware that people might think you're a poser and you don't care, what's gonna stop you?

I mean if you want to wear tall tees then go ahead. But if I were you I would wait a little bit, maybe 1/2 season, when you're a little better and a little more confident.

u should just wear what u like..

in my opinion u should wear them tall tees cuz it just looks better. and u said ur not as good in skiing.. unti u wear tall tees in the spring I think u can get a lot better, man!

btw I was thinkin the same when I started wearing tall tees and now I don't really care anymore, I also got a e'doggo hoodie now in red and 110cm which goes under my knees.. ;)

if you think about it no matter what you wear or what you do everyone on the hill is judging you and a bunch are hating on you. so do what you like, like what you do
just do whatever you think is cool and ask yourself "I am I skiing and dressing a certain way for me or for other people?"

werd. wear them if you actually like them. Just use the pressure as extra motivation to get good. I only hate it if I see someone with super sick, shiny new gear and they've got a bad attitude. Like, if they suck, but I can see they're in it for themselves (i.e. not just cruisin with their crew and looking cool, but actually really trying to get good, putting in hours, maybe even alone because they actually care), that's legit. Also, to be perfectly honest, the better you look, the better you (seem to) ski.
Moral of the story: save your money if you just want them because lots of 'cool' people have them, but if you like skiing, think tall ts look good on you and don't plan on being a douche, I don't think too many people will hate, at least not any that are worth acquainting yourself with.

yea I actually like wearing baggy clothes caz i feel like it's more comfortable. I also aggressive inline (also a noob) but i wear baggy clothes while doing that and i feel so comfortable, and feel like I look better, and can do things better. And don't worry, I'm not gonna be one of those douches that try to look cool and have bad attitudes. I'm gonna start wearing them as more of a goal. Like : I gotta do this and get better.

Just as baggy pants turned into tight pants, tall tees will soon be belly shirts. Just get a real small shirt and tie it up.

Haha since when did wearing a tall t make you a good skier? i see so many people with tall ts that blow at my mountain but most people dont hate.  they are trying to fit in and whatever who cares. if i see a kid up there like 2 times a month with fucken ep pros and jesters, and can only 180 small jumps, or cant even hit a line, then i think you are a fucking poser.   tall ts have nothing to do with it, unless you go out there with one below your knees.  then people will prolly make fun of you.  i would.

i think there is some subconscious shit goin on when wearing a tall tee. for some reason i always push myself a little harder in the park if i have on my saga shit with a tall tee and a baggy hat. wearing that shit puts my in the "fuck it" state of mind and kinda takes fear away. its tall tee or bust imo

think about it.... you can be not great at park skiing, and dress pimp.. and maybe feel a lil insecure about people thinking your a poser.. but atleast you know you look cool...

or you can be not great at park skiing and dress like someone who cant ski park, and not only feel insecure about not being able to ski park well but also becasue you know you look like a noob and people think your a noob!

you hear? rock the steez bra

my thoughts exactly! dress how you want to dress, dont give a shit about people. This season I realised I was caring too much and not dressing how I wanted. I used to dress with baggy everything, I did find It looked good but its not realy me. then I realised " hey I dont give a shit about what people think of me in anything else so why should I give a shit in skiing" so now I wear tight jeans with a baggy blue coat and rock 6 year old girl poles with pink and purple buterflies because I find them awsome.

y do u want to wear tall tees, all it does is when u ride powder u get snow in ur shirt, its more shit to catch on the chair lift, and everybody else does it, be unique and jus make ur own style. but if u want to cause other ppl do then go for it

tall tee adds +2 strength and +5 agility, but is -1 to your speed. when worn with an outfit of proportional tallness, you get +4 strength and +10 agility and it allows you to cast Afterbang for 10 mana
