I'm going to need some evidence on that I'm afraid. I'm relatively sure that skiing does in fact follow snowboarding 2-4 years behind. Snowboarding does the same thing to Skateboarding.
What is doing to get really big is tight pants, which occasionally means straight up tight jeans. Grubby and such.
Snowboarding was making fun of Hesh two years ago, we haven't even completed the transition.
"Josh's School Of Hesh" from "SFC's serious fun Vol. 2" from Luke Lindgren on Vimeo.
Already we've got guys like Max Hill, Jossi Wells, Hot Posse, Cole Drexler and a myriad of others starting to go somewhere between fashion forward and hesh. The progression into that fashionable, dirtbag sensitive artist that still parties is right around the corner.
Maybe in a year or two we'll start making fun of hesh and we'll be 3-4 years behind snowboarding.
