I was sitting here playing some Tenacious D on my guitar and then I realized something: I have never seen a black guy ski before. Is it just Alaska, or are there no black skiers anywhere???


So then he fell...and I laughed.

^That would be Nicky Adams. Nicky, JL, and of course Rick Hess are the only black pros that I know of in skiing right now.

guessing from the way some members talk, about 40% of this site is of african descent.

everyone knows that the black athlete (in general) is far more gifted than the white. just try to make an nfl team of all white players. as soon as skiing, and hockey for that matter, become open to a broader spectrum of people, black skiers will most certainly dominate the sport. just look at that one ncaa coach recently...they asked him what the biggest advancement in ncaa football has been and he stated "the black athlete".

i dont think thatll happen, cuz football and basketball and stuff are part of that sort of culture, skiing is very foreign from the places that are mostly black, like big cities, and i would doubt that black skiers would dominate skiing

i was in vail and there is always that huge booter after the flat rail, like in the open, its the last jump. and there was one kid doin huuuuge sw cork 10s off it. and then i saw him take all his gear off in the lodge and he was black, and he was the steeziest skier i have ever seen in person.

I knew a black dude that could ski once. I don't see them on the slopes often though. I heard somewhere that black people don't like the cold.

2 answer your question... no there are no black skiers... that nicky dude is just a rollerblader that like 2 throw skis on and rep. i think that makes him a poser not 2 mention we r in rival gangs

At the end of "In search of steeze" by coefficient drag, there is a shot of a black guy who slides a rail and looks pretty good

he was wearing the baggiest outerwear i will every see, and was wearing a green jersey under his jacket that was down to his knees, i couldnt tell what the fuck it was till he took off his jacket. altho it sounds rediculous, he made it look good, and he could ski to back it up. not everyone could pull it off, or anyone other than him for that matter...but still. it was ill. true story. and then i found five dollars.
