This thread definitely delivers. There's been some gems as of late! Hopefully they keep on popping up throughout summer.

I spend a lot of time in the shower pretending to initiate spins and flips. But my feet never leave the ground. So I basically just twist around in the shower and daydream.

People understand during winter when I say I'm working out to perform better in skiing, but during the summer they get pissed when I can't go to social events because I'm training. I did however bust out a pair of skis with a broken tip and skied switch down the hill in my backyard when it was raining in April. I love dancing in the rain

lots of 360 down stairs, and eveytime i see a rail or a steep little hill all i think about is how awesome it would be to jib the rail, or build a perfect kicker on top of the hill and do perfect flat spins off it

this must be one of the hardest to explain haha... like, a white teen walkin down the street lookin like straight from the bronx - explanation "yeah, I ski 'n shit in winter..."

for me, it's trying to shut people up about my hair getting too long, imagining rails on flat ground and just weirdly jump around, and of course, still skiing/the looks of people you get when walkin down the street in july with skis when going to a glacier lol

Shameless self promotion.

Tramp every day, anything that could be used as a rail is used as a rail by my shoes.


very impressive

Summer shredding. I remember riding mount snow till second week of june one year. Getting out for gas with tall tees and boots on and shit. People are getting ready to go swimming or tanning or whatever people do in the summer and you're an alien.

Or if you hit urban and you have to explain to a cop or property owners that you're putting the rink snow from your truck down to slide the rail on skis when it's summer.

/\haha i ski to work most days, end up walking home in all my gear around 10 or 11 at night all the way through july. pretty well every time some tourist has to ask "theres still skiing? is there snow up there?" "umm yea...did you not once look up at the mountains today" "oh, so your just getting down now? its pretty late" ......."no i was working"

gets kind of annoying after a few dozen times
