Things That Are Overkilled In Ski Culture

But Are Not Complained About Enough, So They Continue:


Talking about/filming smoking of weed like it's a special hot young club when really everyone does it, even old people

Lens flare (ugh!)

Casual/ironic racism/homophobia (with faint relief at unlikelihood of consequence)

Video brooding, or pretending to do something zany while plainly trying to showcase attractiveness (usually young males, sometimes shirtless, odd given above discussed homophobia)

Complaining about rags when they're bibs

Designer-poor skibumming ('dude I'm eating SO much ramen')

Hatred of inline skating despite undeniable cause-effect link btwn the two sports + desperate attempts at fraternity with skate culture, like trying to impress a much cooler older sibling (that resents you) by making fun of a common enemy, like a younger geekier sibling

Totally incongruous sub-hipster music for video parts, like a slow Modest Mouse or synthpop song that totally makes the footage look like molasses but will be defended valiantly anyway by the two other skiers that have happened to soulseek the songs prior to video usage

Really short landing areas for rails that make the skier crash into them, which is supposed to make it look more gnarly but often makes the arc of the trick look kinda pathetic. I hate this is skateboarding too

BUT HERE'S ONE GOOD THING:

Skiers haven't given into the tight indieboy clothing trend, probably because ski boots would make it look ridiculous.

and the number one thing thats overkilled in ski culture but not complained about enough:

People that make posts about things they think are overkilled in ski culture but aren't complained about enough.

It's odd how your mom can be so cool and yet you turned out so gay. Although your mom definetely get's with chicks so I guess I can see some connection...

If you want to rant about skiing, I suggest you do it somewhere other than a skiing forum.
(I'm not trying to be a dick or not be open to people's ideas, but it's true)

Don't just toss his point out without considering that it's a pretty good one... nobody wants to listen to complaining about problems with their sport, but that doesn't make the complaints invalid. However, a lot of those things are just a reflection of the general shabbiness of mainstream culture, of which skiers are bound to be a part. I agree, society sucks. Especially the apathy...sigh...But, what are you gonna do...

Those were some decent complaints, but I can tell you're foreign from the way you write.

JD its funny you say that because I've noticed the same thing in many people who have learned english as a second langauge. When speaking to many French Canadians this winter in eastern Canada I really noticed how well spoken they all were; all learned english as a second langauge.

My French is really formal. It sounds totally out of place in ordinary conversation, I'm sure.

^Most of the kids i know have learned more grammar in French class than in English class. The school system really does not teach grammar at all anymore, just making our culture look dumber and dumber.

My gr11 honours and gr12AP classes were vicious on grammar exercises. Nitpicking to an extreme. But I agree that most classes aren't, and it really should be dealt with throughout a kid's scholastic career. I think there should be 2 required english classes throughout highschool: English (which focusses on writing, grammar, style, etc) and Literature, which is what English classes are primarily about at the moment.

haha whats your deal man? who cares about the problems......I mean you should spend less time worrying about the problems and trends in skiing and more time on ripping and thinkin of ways to further the sport rather that complain and pick negative things out of it.

Actually I petitioned online for the Scratch graphic to be kept, sorry. And I post like once a month. I'm just screwing around really, and I'm probably guilty of finding most of the stuff on my list to be TOTALLY RAD at one point. It's important to be able to laugh at yourself, even if at something you're doing right now. LOL just so you know I still rock a rag sometimes. But ironically, like ironic fisting!

Why complain about skiing?

If you don't like it we'd be more than glad to see you leave...
