Kids Who Lie About How Good They Are

The other day I was at school and I overheard this kid talking about all these tricks he can do on skis and how he could easily get sponsered. Then I bumped into him at the park and asked if he wanted to film with us and it turned out he couldnt even do a 180 or even a rail despite the fact that he said he could cork 5! Do you know any1 like this? And how annoying do you find these people?

More importantly. Can you 180?, or even throw a dub back like you claim in your profile?

Only joking. But you do sound like a 12 year old bitch.

This fucker goes to my school and is the biggest prick I have ever seen. He says that he is sponsored by Armada, and bought an instagram account with 14k followers. He is entitled as fuck and gets whatever the fuck he wants from his parents. And his girlfriend is a dude.

Heres his Youtube account on mobile sorry no clicky

There's a lot of people like that, its funny because when you see them at the hill you are a lot better than them actually. You should not build a reputation, if you are really good, people will build it for you.

I honestly don't know people who make claims. I'm not a terrible skier, I have my fair share of banger tricks. But on the average day, it's 3's off every jump!

A kid at my school claims he can "left-right 80" however i'm not quite sure what the fuck that is, maybe Mr. Parry could invent it for us. He also says he can backie but his fb picture is him 50/50-ing a flat box. The fact that he does this in front of kids younger than me that are also better than me at school is annoying as hell.

There's this kid at my school who brags about being able to helicopter (his definition of "helicopter" is crossing your skis and raising your hands above your head)

My shit talking friend was complaining about me doing "the same trick over and over again." I do occasionally but usually only to clean up some of them. Then he went and switched to an all mountain partial twin tip because he doesn't like to do trick. And yes he was trying to cover up the fact that he still has a hard time doing a 180.

Never understood why people would try to claim that they can do shit they cant.  Its all about having fun and progressing on a personal level but with all your friends around hyping each other up to do bigger and better tricks.  Before my back went out and i could actually still shred the park the way i wanted to  thats what it was all about for the crew i skied with.  Everyone had a decent bag of tricks but it was never anything more than friendly competition and maybe a little friendly shit talking to push people in a good way.

I know I don't do much, but I have more important things than throwing new tricks, I'd rather mellowly lap the park and hopefully not screw with my knees.

My friend was like that. He said he could hit all the biggest jumps in our park, then pussied out hard when it came to actually hitting them. It's o.k. though, because he's trying harder to get better now and he doesn't talk shit about other people and say he's really good.

i used to work with some guy like that. i was just starting out park skiing and i was talking to him about it and he said he could spin 9's and 7's and do a bunch of tricks on rails. One day i saw him in the park while i was on the chair and i yelled at him to do a 7. He tried to straight air the jump and ended up eating shit. it was really funny. later he told me he could barely spin off the jump. i laughed at him and went on with my life

I moved to a place with the shittiest park ever but the backcountry and inbounds terrain is pretty awesome, so it doesn't bother me anyways. Freeriding has was less of that who's best mentality and it's usually just friends having fun pushing eachother. In my park days it was definitely a sort of pissing contest between people and less about having fun with friends, which is why i love skiing so much.

I love skiing. I don't care that I suck. I have other things in life to worry about other than skiing so I can't push myself too hard. I have fun at the level I'm at and progress little by little. I love just chillin watching kids throw sick shit and cheering them on.

This one kid at my school, "claims" to be better than me at skiing in general because he raced for 8 years.
im not that amazing at park but i can throw spins with grabs and 270 on and stuff so i wanted to see him ski, turns out all he does it pretend to smoke weed (its actually tea) with his friends at the top of the park, then ride down the side of the jump line. when i asked him about it he said he was "too ripped" to do anything today... or the rest of the season.

Shit! I've been caught!

But seriously man, calling this kid out on his shitty park abilities is sort of a dick move. Even if he's the biggest attention whore around for 100 miles. No one likes to hear that they're shit, even from themselves, which is probably why he's playing himself up so much. That said, if he's 15, he sounds like a cocksucker

One time my classmate at school claimed he did a front 6 out of a rail during a ski trip on the march break. I was surprised when he said this because I had skied with him before and he was just learning how to front swap. I asked him who he was skiing with when he accomplished this bangerr trick and he said he was alone. If a tree falls in the woods and theres no one there to hear It, did it really happen? ;)
