Skiing No Brakes=Steeze?

Well at the start of this year while jibbing some back yard in November, my buddy decided to snap off the brakes of his surface double times. His reasoning is that it is more "badass", "steezy", "thug" and "gangsta". One time this year in the park an attempt at a cork 1080 in the park went array, and his ski proceeded to hit a 50 footer and almost land on a family with small children.

So is he more "Thug" for skiing with no brakes?

Thoughts?

I sort of agree. He rides his fks 180's at 18. However ruining his bindings is somewhat of a personal choice.

So basically this is a thread where you repeatedly post bad things about your "friend"?

Who the fuck cares what your friend likes to do with his skis? If he can cork 10 he's better than me and the vast majority of kids on this site so he must be doing something right. Fuck.

why is that even cool? at best its an inconvenience when you have to chase a ski down, and at worst its a pretty giant lawsuit when you take out a lawyers 5 year old. I guess he could use leashes? whats his reasoning behind this, and is he 12?

He is 21. Yeah well at the time I didn't really think it through to ask him why. After thinking about it I realized it doesn't make much sense.

my thought. When you're skiing rails you want that shit to release fairly early, not like 6 din, but i wouldn't with more than 10. You'd rather have a ski release from your boot than an acl from the rest of your knee

In all seriousness, if he's not being treated for that there's gonna be some issues. I knew a chick who was bipolar and she was just all over the fucking place but refused to get treated and used liquor as a substitute. Not good. Off topic though, no brakes are retarded, just wear pants so baggy it covers the brakes.

this year I was doing a misty 5 and fell from like 30 feet on flat hard park pack and slid all the way down the park with my skis on. Only hurt my head and got a concussion. Until I fuck my knees(won't) I refuse to ride on the ridiculously low settings that shops recommend.

LOL I broke two ankles because of riding pivots on 12. Mostly on fks or pivots I adjust the din higher. On a binding like the sth 16 I have no problem riding on normal settings.

Not to sound like a massive dick, but your friend seems like a fucking idiot. Weed + Serious Mental disorders = Nasty Shit, trust me when I say that as it's from personal experience. Enough of me sounding like a mother though.

Did you just spell "should" as "sud"?

I really hope English is not your first language.

Sounds like he wants to release at his ACL's rather than his boots.

The no brake Q's has already been answered, just plain dumb ass, not bad ass

He will be more thug if he attaches knives to his skis so when he looses them they can travel down the hill killing all the haters

I tore my acl on STH 12's at the shop's setting of 8. I don't know your situation, but in mine the binding was not at fault. Just because the binding doesn't come off doesn't mean it was supposed to release.

In my experience, sth's are far more solid than fks/pivot as far as pre-releasing goes. I have had many problems with fks/pivots.

I've been hit twice by run a way boards from jack asses that took off the leash and dropped their boards. I can tell you it hurts alot. If I knew that some ass face lost a ski and did not have a brake (because he was trying to be Steezy) I would have a hard time keeping my cool. In fact I would have a grand old time beating his face in. Even better, If anything hit any of the kids I coach......He would be walking with a thug limp for life.
