teabagDon’t hate me for saying this but Harlaut is, for the lack of a better word, kind of cringe. This whole gangster image he’s been trying to embody lately is throwing me off. Like, there’s nothing I can relate between Henrik Harlaut and ”the hustle”. He’s a white skier from Sweden probably born into a well-off family.
Don’t get me wrong, even I enjoy listening to og hip hop and like to imagine being in an edit from the golden era of skiing. But, HH is taking it to the point where it just isn’t ”cool” anymore. I know it doesn’t matter what I think. I just want to know if I’m the only one.
First of all, he’s Estonian, and his family runs a champagne business- which is gangster af if you ask me.
second, that whole style has been a part of pop culture for decades, 90’s skating and 2000’s skiing are prime examples. So what he embraces pop culture?
third, the dude learned to speak English from watching teenage mutant ninja turtles and listening to wu-tang (Freeski mag article 2013, don’t @ me). I think we can all agree that’ll for sure give you a unique outlook on style and personality.
finally, the man is one of the best skiers alive. Idc what he does as long as he keeps doing doing sick stuff and nose butters.
