smuggsdo we all have such poor attention spans we cant even watch edits anymore ?

JonnyKB-Dog doesn't use Instagram as well and tons of people still watch his videos.

.Hugo.Dude you sound like a doomsday conspiracy theory crackhead thats lost his mind. Where are these Instagram pros you speak of, ive never even seen or heard of this before. Gives some examples or atleast a complete thought instead of random rambling about something that apparently no one besides you has ever heard of

smuggsgiving away specifics isnt fun, its like giving answers to the test.

i think what im referring to is more prevalent in 'powder' type skiers.

i love posting up photos to insta as much as anyone, but the people i brown nose to get there include #weed, #headytopper, #donttakeyourselftooseriously

i just think if you want respect from a larger whole of actual skiers and not instagram ghosts post up a fucking edit. clearly your go pro stick selfies and watermarked photos tell me you have a go pro on you 24/7 and you have the patience to be around someone with a camera. its time for some action and less #hashtags and @iblowyou,yougivemeskis types of things

i mean if instagram likes were a judge of your skiing, if i ran a business the only people i would give my skis to are the chicks taking photos of their asses, pussy bulges, and themselves in yoga class.

maybe im the minority

smuggsyou must be new to a smuggs newschoolers post

smuggshow can you be a ' pro ' without a mind blowing video part ?

do we all have such poor attention spans we cant even watch edits anymore ?

how can you make a name for yourself by using over written blogs and instagram ?

we all know what our photos look like before we put them through instagram. for some of you instagram isnt even enough and you need a second party photo editor before posting to instagram. we all know you didnt really have to do anything cool or land a trick to take a decent photo.

instagram pros remind me of y2k

whats ns think

smuggsi bet the skateboarders with rad instagrams have sick video parts. its really hard to pretend to be a good skateboarder.

MinggIt's super easy if someone wanted to pretend to be better than they are through pictures. Like I guess you could stand on a rail and say you did whatever trick even if you didn't. And with jumps, you could do a 5 and claim it was a 7 or 9 Or pretty much anything. is that what you're getting at op?

.Hugo.You must just not be significant enough for me to remember

smuggsi have plenty of friends that get skis because of instagram, im just saying they should make some sick video parts and take it back to when keeping it real was the thing to do.

i bet all of my friends (or ex friends after this post) had a sick video part back in the day. why not make another ?

danbrowni doubt they get skis because of instagram, they get skis because of who they are and the names theyve made for themselves in the industry. theyre just urged to post content online to stay relevant and rep the brand, whether they put out a video part or not though they undoubtedly could. tons of people still slay, they just have other jobs or interests. which im sure youre totally aware of

smuggsnot disagreeing at all, but when you post photos of yourself airbourne with a go pro on a stick, why cant you show us the edit ? the hardest part of being airborne with a go pro on a stick is the flack you get from your local resort skiing around filming yourself with a stick and not posting an edit

smuggsskiing is and running are probably the only two sports that let it fly that you dont actually need to be doing anything that spectacular to get by as being a ' professional '

sports have leagues you need to get through to prove yourself

snowboarders and skateboarders dont give a shit about photos

i mean i guess surfers can get by on photos only

do you think if a baseball player stood around random stadiums in a uniform and had a photographer with him he could convince anyone he was a pro ?

caseycDon't even compare baseball to skiing. Just don't

john18061806I stopped playing competitive baseball because everywhere I went, the players and my teammates were just big headed assholes. I got into skiing because it's much more independent and you can easily avoid the big headed assholes on the hill. I still enjoy both, just recreationally.
