Snowboarders gotta learn how to snowboard

Carving and turning is not hard on a board so figure out and quit sideslipping and pushing away all the snow on every run. Get a f*cking clue. It's way to common. God, if you can't snowboard, try skiing.

There are good skiers out there who rip and do it up good, but most of them are just fucking pathetic. They think they're the shit and pizza and yardsale and ruin the shit out of runs...idc what anyone says; they absolutely do, and they dont have any fucking on hill etiquette with their huge clothing and fake gangster steeze. What pisses me off the most how many god damn times i get cut off by skiers who straight line everything.

Just kidding. I love both haha but really this is awful. Stop generalizing so much because it's not true at all.

You think a balls out fully wide wedge doesn't scrape the snow off either?

Gotta ride the edges man. Even when the trails are completely ice there's always a little something kicking on the 10 feet of edge that you can rip.

it is easier for a snowboarder to get out of get out of a sketchy situation ie chute, tree line, steep technical section. I ride with a lot of boarders and many of them will just heel side through sections that get gnarly while skiers must commit and go edge to edge. I think many of them rely on this move and claim they are better than they are bc the board makes challenging terrain easier.

i think the technique is easier for snowboarders therefore they use it more. The length of the board allows them to use the technique in tighter areas where skiers cant. Also boarders can do it in pow and ive yet to see a skier do it.

skiings been around way longer than snowboarding and you can see that snowboarders have improved way faster than skiing, so i think you need to stop hatin'

fuck yeah a full on pizza scrapes the shit out of a face, but i don't see skiers doing this as often as I see boarders side slipping an enitre face.  skiers are more notorious for skiing from one side of the damn trail all the way to the other side, repeat, etc.  (even on cat tracks and it drives me insane!!)

and shhhhhhhhh...don't tell people about skiing the edges.  let's just keep that our little secret.  that almost always where i ride when i'm on groomers.

No it is not,I can garuntee it isn't because I started out snow boarding and picked it up faster than skiing.

Anecdotal evidence doesn't mean shit, I picked up skiing faster than snowboarding. They are two similar but different sports in which each comes more naturally for different people. Your argument is stupid.

the ignorance in this thread is astounding. you're all putting snowboarders side slipping down as if skiers are actually carving every turn? bull fucking shit. i see just as many noob skiers as i do snowboarders. all noobs are fucking idiots. just like 90% of this thread. go bitch about something worthy.

the best is when a snowboarder runs into you, knocks you over, and manages to run over your pole and break it in half. snowboarders<33

I snowboard but im guna hav to say I agree with wat your trying to say. I a snowboarder can do a run the they shouldnt try. But I aslo hav to say that every one has to start somwere I just wish they would learn before they ruined the pow. What I hate are the little 12 year olds who think they are hot shit plowing downt the mountain.

dude i love do this! i lean back get the tips in the air i slide sideways! and seriously can everyone calm down in this thread. what the op said is true get over because when a skier finds himself on harder slope they have been taught to go side to side however a snowboarder finds it easier to just slide sideways. fact.

by the way i love snowboarders who are good but since snowboardering is still cosnedered the cooler option more holiday warriors (someone who goes up to a mountain 5 days a year on vacation and think there the shit) snowboard because it is "cooler"

as much as i agree with you, you can't honestly think most boarders with average and not well tuned boards should be able to hold deep carves on steep icy hills. it's not that easy when half your run conmsists of icy patches left by the ski racers who push the snow around before they hold the races. You also have to admit that skiiers are responsible for half of the bullshit that goes on at a mountain. At least sideslippers don't take up a whole hill unlike the sloww ass begginer skiiers that move incredibly slow and take up the whole run with their carves that go from one end of the trail to another making them hard to pass.

If they fucking suck and are ruining good runs, then no, they do not. If they can make it down a run that is skill appropriate for them without ruining it in anyway for someone else, then they do.

I yell at shitty boarders who insist on side slipping down nice runs with fresh snow all the time, fuck them.

Point being, I think the bottom 10% of the population would rather snowboard than ski cause they got the Shaun White stick shoved so far up there ass. Its not that snowboarding is dumb or that snowboarders are all dumb, just that the dumbest people on the hill snowboard

Have you ever carved on a snowboard? It's such a cool feeling. Carving on a board is much better than carving on skis.

this. i was going down blues in less than a week. easy as shit. it sucks when you gotta go flatland pushing or get stuck on a trail and cant move.

i do have a couple friends who snowboard and they are really good. i just dont respect the guys who do the side sliding.

skiers aren't innocent, but its mostly boarders. besides skis push snow aside while boarders push it down the whole way.

AND I'M SICK OF YOU KIDS JUST POPPIN A SQUAT WHERE EVER YOU WANT. SIT IN THE LODGE AND THE LIFT NOT ON THE IN-RUN

I really want to try skiing.

maybe its just where i'm from, but this situation is absolutely flipped at my mountain, everybody hates the little skiiers. they always tear up the lips for boxes and rails, and just stop on top of kickers and roll over it.

This thread is frustrating. Good snowboarders don't "side-slip" down the hill, just like good skiers don't pizza the fuck out of everything, roll over jump lips, and straight slide boxes (though I see WAY more of this than shitty snowboarders, hmm). What I do notice is the majority of 13-16 year old skiers (most of this site, and I'm guessing most of this thread) think they are far better than they actually are, when most of them can't even carve and will just wobble toward a jump at high speed, and then they think they own the mountain and hate on beginners. I'd rather see a beginner snowboarder riding his heel edge at my hill than some stuck up little punk in a tall tee yelling at people.
