Why are girls pretty?
Why do kids start at different reading levels?
Why does it burn when I piss?
Why do I get completely naked every time I shit?
Why do i steal my brothers fleshlight on Thursdays?


there are just some questions you don't ask.

The breaking of both ankles is an African tradition from young boy to Rastafarian manhood

bahahahahahaha

there's a lot of trustafarians in tahoe, it's annoying as hell. i can tell most of them haven't even read what it means to be rastafarian..... skiing as a white collar sport definitely goes against what true rastafarians stand for as a whole. if you want to get into the whole spirituality of skiing... well that's an entirely different argument of it's own.

but tanner isn't the only one.. CRJ for example...

I DONT KNOW HOW TANNER GOT INTO THIS WHOLE RASTA JAMACIAN REGGAE CULTURE, BUT HE'S NOT JUST SOME POSER. LISTEN TO HIS INTERVIEW FROM THE SKI SHOW THAT CAME OUT A MONTH OR TWO AGO.

I knew i was gonna get hate for that. And no i don't hate him for reaching success, just that a few of the things he does are overkill, like that accent he does.

wow i didnt know tanner would get that much hate, people can't just make their own thing and stop giving a fuck about everything arround them? why is tanner obsessed with rastafari? why are you obsessed with skiing? like someone said above, some question can't be anwsered because there's no word to explain why we like something.

i denfinetly respect him as a skier but, hes going a little far now, it was cool when he was doing his lion shit with the dope goggles and then the all black ones with a bit of rasta aswell as head wear the rasta hoodie and his thalls and king selassie and then the 2011 had lions---that was all cool and subtle enough, now its going too far his skis are pure rasta his new jacket is pure rasta he has a jamaican accent and in his hood video he has hi shaal or whatever it is wrapped around his head

*sparknotes* I respect THALL as a skier completley, and i was cool with his rasta stuff before, but this year it gone too far

I COULD BE WRONG BUT I HEARD WHITE PEOPLE CAN'T BE RASTIFARI, ITS LIKE AN ABOMINATION TO THEIR CAUSE OR SOMETHING. THATS WHY I KINDA STAY AWAY FROM IT, EVEN THOUGH I REALLY LIKE THE WHOLE IDEA OF IT.

i think its because he enjoys smoking weed and uses rastafarianism as an excuse for it... and i'm guilty of it too as are most skiers, snowboarders, skaters

Word, the whites are part of Babylon bringing the blacks down. A lot of the other parts of religion are respectable though.

can you think of a better religion? what other religion has smoking ganj as a tenant? what other reason do you need...

anyway i think its a spirituality thing, not necessarily rasta but just spiritual in general. and yeah white people can be rasta, like alborosie is a white italian rasta.
