To the kids giving me shit for skiing w/ out poles yesterday.

Yesterday at Breck some park skiers that were on the lift were giving me shit for skiing with out poles. I personally feel that I ski better with out poles so Im gonna keep it that way. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I feel like being a judgmental douche bag while your skiing reflects upon who you are in real life, which would be a douche bag. Honestly who cares if Im skiing with out poles, as long as your skiing then I don't see a problem./ end rant.

I don't care how you ski. Personally I think it looks ridiculous, but hey, that's just me. Do whatever the hell you want

Well all my park experience goes back to snowboarding cause I boarded in the park for three years before I started skiing. No poles felt more like boarding and I liked it so I kept it that way. My hands flail way more when I have poles so yeah no poles is my solution.

I ski without poles. Park, trees, whatever...

There's just something about it that feels so right. I care very little about what the haters may say.

Plus... since when was conforming to what everyone else does good? I thought this was FREEskiing, not FOLLOWERskiing?

oh cool, another thread where OP says something about being judged and then everyone else tells him to do what he wants.

Word.  Irony - FREESKIERS being ridiculed because of their equipment and/or what they wear.  If you like the look; that's one thing, but if you dress thug just because you think you have to; you're a sheep.

same thing happened to me at big sky. and its funny because the only grief i get is from kids on the lift there hasnt been a single time when someone has had the nerve to say it to my face soo what ever. anyone who actually cares really need to reexamine what is important in there life.

I say let people do whatever the fuck they want. I have no problem with people who wanna be super thugged out, or crazy gypsy. Its normal to work with fashion trends and really not that big a deal.

Truth. Hope you didn't take that the wrong way.  Not hating on any look, just the "you suck if you don't look like me" mentality.  IMO, NS = Non comformiSt

I got my poles stolen at Breck the other day and skied a few runs without poles. I might as well have skied naked. Skiing poleless looks terrible, in my opinion, but do what you want. Oh, and to the faggot who stole my poles.....fuck you., immensely

last week kids were giving me shit cause i was skiing powder underneath the lift...
plz explain that ....

only explanation i could find would be that they were pissed of because i was "poaching" their sweet white gold...

maybe in your case the kids were just jealous of your wicked no-poles steeze ....

no, do whatever the hell you like, just don't ruin the flow of the park because you like to dabble around slowly "progressing the sport".

My thoughts, and only my thoughts, only person who can ski without poles is Ahmet Dadahli . Not saying you can't, but it will never look as good Dadahil

How about you let him do what he wants. Are you like the tyrant of the terrain park or something?

Do what you want. Fuck those douches. Needless hate in the park is needless. I don't get why people do that.

skiing without poles is better cause you learn to keep your arms close to your body, grabs are clean, and if you fall you dont have to worry about your poles breakin your thumbs or stabbin yourself.

Im just saying that needless hate in the park is needless, especially in Breck where it seems to be more prevalent than ever.

Take a trip to PC. The vibe is unreal. It makes the skiing 2x more fun.

This.  I hate the vibe at Breck and Keystone.  PC and Brighton especially are much better, in my opinion.

I seriously don't get a "bad vibe" at Keystone, I don't really know about Breck since I've only been there a couple times this season.
