At first glance you see facemask, afterbangs, tiny poles, t wall full tilts, ghetto gogs, and suuuper tight pants then suddenly the "gaper" absolutely kills it on the rails, buttering around and all, switch up city. Is this the new trend or something? I must be missing something. From gangster to newbie look, all within a season. What's happening!?!?

Ridiculous

I think it's great! People should have fun with what they're wearing, and not feel like they have to have a certain "accepted" style. It brings back skiing to it's lighter days, and I think it will continue as we get closer to the olympics. I know this has been said a thousand times, but I'm restating it for emphasis.Also, a victory for the purple pants of Real Skifi!

You're missing the point of it often being deliberate, geez. The only skiers that truly don't care are the ones with really old, no-name brand type of equipment. Did you even read my original post?

Not at all, they just buy the equipment for the functionality, not for how it looks or fit. I bought fulltilt this year, probably helped my riding x4, no shin pain when leaning forward thus curing my "forced" backseat stance with my old boots, I couldn't care less about the look of them. New gear does not necessarily mean trying to look good.

So no, skiers that truly don't care still want that new technology, not for the looks or to be trendy. Lol its like saying because you don't care about how you look you're gonna ride with old stiff racing boots in the park. Hey you could save yourself a few toebangs and shinbangs this season with this park boot, nothing to do with looks.

Oh and this thread is dildos, the only thing you seem to identify as gaper-ish are the tightpants, wich are not worn by gapers at all (the really skinny ones like max hill).
