Replying to Thug Culture in Skiing
I am as guilty as the next skier who loves throwing on an oversize Line T-shirt, an Xl Orage jacket, and wearing ski pants that are quite a bit longer than my legs without my ski boots scrunching them up. The thug like culture that transcends traditional skiing and is specific to freestylers however does not represent me off the slopes. If i were to walk into a shell garage wearing such clothing I would probably be suspected of trying to rob the place. Where the fuck has this culture come from? Back when boys like Bob Burns pioneered the "freestyle" ski avenue they were doing cork 5's off of cliffs in onesies. Where has the thug clothing style come from?
