I'll accept this one as you're new, but please refrain from making threads about how stupid snowboarding is, Skiing vs Snowboarding is so 2007.

Enjoy your stay.

Honestly, after looking at the x-games, including skier-x. Skiing looks way dumber than snowboarding. This is a semi-troll comment but it's the truth.

I've designed my own skis and am in the process of building another pair for gnarlier skiing - all without poles. I'm glad I've done this.

I would never go back to skiing in its current state - I would go to snowboarding. The only thing where skiing is cooler than snowboarding is in moguls. That still means a lot for me but snowboarding looks way steezier - skiers look like gangly retards in comparison.

No. Snowboarding is awesome. Now go make more productive threads or don't make threads at all.

saskskierGo away.


I'm as far away from skiers as I possibly can be without leaving the internet. I'm glad I'm not on some dumb "know-it-all skier" site.

I'm glad I watched the x-games. I honestly was disgusted at how steezy today's snowboarders look and how far that modality has come.

Another thing, snowboarding is old news in a way. It's sort of retro. If you do it, you're not automatically a try-hard like in the past.

Your profile quote applies here:

"Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate." - Rick Warren

I'm following it, but are you?

Touché.

That said, I neither fear nor hate you. I find you annoying. I disagree with pretty much everything you have contributed since you've started posting on NS. All of the feedback you've received on NS has been negative and it's clear there is no market for your product here. You've shut down all meaningful feedback and at this point you are little more than a troll. You constantly criticize the sport we all love and yet you remain here. I'm not sure I've seen you bring anything positive to NS.

That's why I said go away.

I don't know why I am even responding to such a complete toolio, but only after watching x-games, have I just realized how savagely snowboarders kill it in terms of freestyle shit.

Yes, lots of people think that. But that's because 46.4% of Americans will have a diagnosable mental illness in their lifetimes. So there's lots of potential for people to think something absurd. You might want to see a professional.
