Hot lapping

so i tend to hot lap, meaning i don't wait at the top of each feature to hit it. if there is a group of people waiting, i guess i essentially just snake them to hit the feature. If someone is dropping, i'll follow them in so they can hit it and i'd hit it after them. I don't like to stop at each feature and wait in the fuckery that is a group of riders queuing to hit a rail and more often then not awkwardly drop at the same time as another person, causing further delays. stopping at each feature fucks up the flow of the park for me. (keep in mind I ski in WA where the parks are generally not super crowded - probably nothing like it is at breck/key on a weekend).

my question is, do you hot lap? or do you get pissed when someone hot laps and bypasses the lineup? am i being a douche?

100% my feelings on this. I'll never get pissed at someone who snakes me if they are in the middle of a hot lap. Someone bombing the park will always have the right of way to the people who are hiking and lining up.

At my hill People standing or waiting for certain features only really occurs during early season when few rails are set up.

Skiierman you're pretty much a piece of shit. However, I see much of what you're saying except you're like some extremist emo guy that hates "mainstream" stuff. But on a better note, you don't allow the hot lappers to lap, since I basically always hotlap

You'll notice a correlation between those that hate me and their lack of intelligence. I think the post above this reinforces this hypothesis... but hey, 15-year-old boys are the hottest so they have the final say in all this.

I watched a line of like 12 snowboarders pile onto each other at Northstar the other day on the very first flat box in the early season park. I was about to film my friend blast the whole flat box and tranny find the end but he would have killed at least 3 of them, so he went on ahead and I filmed the pile up happen, pretty god damn hilarious.

Lolololol dead snowboarders yolo.



Of course there's nothing wrong with hot lapping, it fucking says so in the skiing "rules", of course if you drop in after somebody else does who looks uphill to start your "hot lap" then it's a different story

yeah i cant even lie i always drop within seconds of cruising up to the park no matter the group at the top. I figure a couple things when I do it. First, ive been in the game awhile and ive waited my turn to have the confidence to go at the moment i have a sliver of an opportunity, and second I figure a bunch of the little joneses are there to watch and sit around so fuck em if i make them wait

I love to hotlap with my music in my ears but waiting in line for the slowest chirlift ever kills the vibe

Yup but I'm saving my first day because I want my first trick of the season to be a 1080.

Never do... and a 1080 should be entertainment enough because I've only landed it once before, barely and only attempted it... maybe 6 times ever?

Hot lappings the way to go. Save your conversations for the lift line up, get out of the way.

Make sure you have someone to close off the jump because you landed on your stupid ass

I'm not some jackass gaper with no consideration of anyone else but myself... I'll def. have a spotter on the knuck of the 15ft. jump they've got set up.

Skiierman is right people. Ever read the signage on a big jumpline? Using spotters is a good idea, especially if you have no visibility of people skiing away from the line. However, in most parks, you can see someone ski away from the line at some point, so if you aren't using a spotter, at least wait until the last person who dropped has skied away from the landing of the first jump or two before you drop.

Skiier man why are you spraying feces all over our faces again? At least let us prep with some Saran Wrap first.
