I'll have to admit. I rocked rear entry boots last year. I outgrew my Salomon boots and couldn't afford a new pair so I rocked a 20 dollar pair of rears last year. They were comfortable but had no support at all.

There are so many kids like this. The worst part is that they think they are fantastic,

maybe he didnt want to intimidate his girlfriend? there could be a number of reasons he wasnt doing anything. Rear entry boots are rare, but it doesnt necessarily mean they are a gaper.

still, i could have no idea what he was like.

In my opinion it just bugs me when kids can afford things they dont necessarily need. I know a kid who bought EP pros with jesters and he skis boreal and MAYBE MAYBE squaw. He will get to use them maybe 2 days this year.

It is annoying, but thats what happens as something gets popular, you get the "posers" who buy stuff that they see the pros wear cuz they thik its cool. It already happened to skateboarding and snowboarding.  Skiing is the next "cool" thing. Its bound to happen and its great for the industry./end thread

these kids are the only ones paying anything close to retail, and keeping local shops from going out of business

ughhhhhhhhh gotta story

so i was getting ready and i see a guy put on a g-suit. brand new all nice and clean. usually when you see g-suit you accpect a little bit. i get to the top of the lift and ski to the park. I go first and do a switch up on a box just for like a warm up and watch for him to go down. he rides on the box, 50-50s it, slips out and falls. this kid was like 16 with brand new salomons with sth 14's. i was an angry man!

who gives a fuck. either 1. the kid is spoiled rotten and is stoked on his gear, got afterbangs which is just more money into the industry, or 2. he saw an add for them, was stoked on em, worked his ass off for them and is just learning.

bottom line, they are HIS skis so let him do whatever he wants with him. if it makes him happy to go over the rollers all day long, so be it. he doesnt have to be throwing pretzel 4s and double cork 14s in order to own afterbangs...besides its a price point ski anyways.

Why all the hate about what gear people have man? I hate it when people hate on me for what gear I have in the Park. Maybe I actually LIKE to wear fulltilts, Afterbangs, Marker Griffons, Saga pants, Oakley Air raid Jacket, Splices, and scott team issue poles. Its just how I am so cool it.
Im still learning so i like to just do little spread eagles or 180s off of the jumps onto rails. My new afterbangs are really good at spins.

when i get hate i just switch out my gear for my other set: SPK pro models, marker jesters, salomon suspects, XL saga suit, and joystick poles. oh and empire gloves.

i ride afterbangs and I am not all that good at skiing park.. so i guess i am just the scum of the earth because i worked hard over the summer to afford the skis I wanted. Quit being so concerned about what others are doing in the park and worry about yourself more.
