K so I have been thinking of skiing lately and I have come to the conclusion that skiing is NOT gangster whatsoever. It is comprised of 98% (random guess) lanky white kids that have their parents buy them gear so they can go ski with all of their other friends that had their rich parents buy them gear and pay to be on ski teams. Nobody who skis is a true "G". Can anybody tell me when all of this gangster shit popped up? And I welcome the hate because anybody who thinks they are a "true" gangster should be dealing coke or actually be in a gang and not be on this site.

It's a product of the music they listen to. It's funny how the gangster style found it's niche in skiing, though. I have literally seen 4-5 black people on the hill in my life, not including the kid who did the dub. I guess it comes down to white kids who ski between the ages of 8-25 want to be black.

Dude you live in Maryland. There are plenty of kids who shred park in normal gear. That doesn't mean it's tight. It's just not four sizes too big.

baggy clothes isnt what im getting at. Its all of these had gestures and the persona that skiers are putting on. I like to wear baggy clothes too and I have loads of respect for anybody who wears skinny pants and shreds and I do not think im a "G" at all just because of my outerwear. I find it very hard to judge peoples skiing ability by what they wear now because everybody just wears the same stuff.

First off, my mom has NEVER bought me ANY thing that has to do with skiing, I don't come from a rich family, and I was wearing tall tees before I even got into park skiing!  I buy everything that I want, not because other people are wearing it but because its whats familiar to me!................................

So Mr. n00b, please stop making stupid ass threads & please use the search forums option next time!!.................

Please.

The whole skier/gangsta complaint feels very 2003. White people (including myself) love hip hop. Nothing new.

Until kids are strapping gats to their legs when they ride pipe i don't think a few bandanas and tall tees are hurting anyone. Different people have been co-opting style trends from other groups forever.

wow retard.

freestyle skiing has its own culture. baggy clothes and smooth style go well together. it just so happens a large portion of the freestyle industry enjoys hip hop and rap. who cares, personally i love the genre and by no means does that mean i want to change the color of my skin or where i came from. i wear big clothes but i don't act "gangster" or anything like that.

perfect example is Chug, by no means does that kid act like a thug or gangster yet he rocks big baggy saga gear and listens to rap music. yet the kid doesn't forget his roots at all, his video blog proves it. he always ends up back in the boonies of vernon at some point flying his little Sesna. just because someone dresses gangster by no means makes them one.

Well for starters i am way to white to be considered a G. But look listen lets be serious i am. Secondly when i walk around in society it is hard to justify wearing 4xl and looking really hyphy, i dont care but it is hard to justify to someone who just doesnt get it. So when im on the hill wearing my tall tees and being real steez like and being myself a true G i can get away with it judgment free. Thats how it poped up for me. i can get a white thug and i dont have to truly care at all when im skiing.
