Enough dancing on rails

so, i'm over watching skiers slide rails... spin on, three switch ups, spin off... yea cool.

i'm going to switch over to the dark side and start jibbing on a board this year, 'cause sliding rails on skis is played out.

your thoughts?

i was with you for a bit there, until i realized that you can change rails for any type of skiing (or boarding) with "rails". a lot of you are taking this too personally... which as far as NS goes, might be a good thing in the offseason? I mean, gives you (us) something to talk/debate about.

but like, what you described - is the main reason why we ski - a form of expression with the self gratitude of doing something you didn't think you could do. I am in no way of putting down skiers. BUT - there's been a few people commenting on this thread saying things like "skiers have a huge advantage and can do more things on rails than snowboarders", well, i'm not saying we can't - but i d0n't know how we can, and i see potential in snowboarding so i will seek that venue of fun.

i was going to write something about the purpose of this thread, but as i tried just now, i realized that maybe i have had too many drinks and have just started rambling.

I look at that edit and I swear my son is taller than Casabon, and my son is 7.  Dudes incredible though no doubt.

stop worrying about other people man. even if your wearing a cape and ballerina tights no one should care. your having fun. do what you like and realize skiing is a fun creative sport that we can do whatever we want with it.

they got a big write up on him in the new issue of snowboard canada. i could make your typical comment about his tight pants and flailie arms - but it's not needed, the guy kills it, so who cares what size of pants he wears.
