At the end of the day, it's a free country... So kids should be allowed have top of the range skis or what ever they want. It's not a big deal.. Just because a kid has afterbangs and he's not that great in the park?

Every one on NS should stop bitching and get out there and ski.

so by your reasoning, someone who is "bad" at skiing can only buy gear that is like 2 years old

It doesn't really matter all too much if people that aren't that good at skiing happen to own mad good shit.  The only time it really annoys me is when that kind of person thinks they're hot shit and are completely oblivious to the fact that they suck.

its annoying tho...cuz in ur case its annoying cuz the kids fails and has afterbangs and is a gaper, but if he didnt have afterbangs he would still be made fun of for not having twin tips and looking like a gaper.

let people spend their money on whatever the fuck they want to spend it on. I am stoked to see kids all over the hill with nice ski equipment. They are putting their money into the sport i love instead of video games or car parts or something. The bigger the sport gets, the more money companies have to make sick shit and the more people that like freeskiing i have to shred the mountain with. when i first got into freeskiing i was one of the only kids in the whole state with twin tips and if i happened to see another person with twin tips it felt like we were part of a family or something together. The bigger the sport the bigger the family. /rant

this is the problem with the industry really. its too 'elitist' really. where if, people say, youre not doing cork 9s and pretzels then you shouldnt be allowed to buy afterbangs or armadas or whatever. But really, it is great for the industry and for this kid, the afterbangs are probably the right ski for him, cheap but durable and light. why the hell not?
how about next time, you go up and speak to him, maybe give him some pointers in the park? and not just flame the shit out of him for trying. Sure enough its probably annoying if he gets in your way or whatever on the lips, but it wouldnt be too difficult to, instead of shouting at him, just give him a friendly bit of advice and maybe help him progress?

rant over guys, sorry

here here. I wont lie i have no problem selling some poser kid aftrerbangs. i personally hate it when lil jimmy comes in and wants skis so mom buys the lil shit skis no questions asked after i spent a summer saving for a pass and new gear, (with the retailer hookups) but in the end, it keeps my boss happy, and the industry is going, and hopefully, the kidll grow into the skis after a season. i know its hard to progress if your cruising on lil shitty grom skis, so let em grow into them and help them out if you can

Afterbangs are one of the cheapest price point skis out there, so it was probably his most economical choice.  But no, it really doesn't rock my world to look at other people's gear.

Those kids you hate keep skiing alive. 

We need more kids to take mommy and daddy's money and buy ski gear!  So moral of the story is steal your parents money, and go buy ski stuff with it
