TOAST.Don't think most pros give a flying fuck what NS thinks.
bakerpunkPart of being a pro is also being marketable by your sponsors. So if he doesn't give a flying fuck about the freestyle skiing community then why is he pro?
TOAST.NS isn't the entire freestyle skiing community.
loganschnurWhile NS might not be the entirety of the primarily park skiing community, it does carry significant weight as it is "Skiing's Online Community".
To be a pro, you have to provide your sponsors with something and thats usually marketability and presence, and Goepper has presence but in all the "wrong ways". When he puts out an edit it either gets hated on by little Phil and Henrik fan boys that think anything that isn't Wu-Tang or buttery is "bad for skiing" or he tries something a little different like "Prelude" and now some people don't like it because they think he is changing to appeal to us.
TOAST.Active members of NS (commenting on stuff, reading forum, hating) are a small % of people that buy freeskiing related products. Would it hurt for NS to have a boner for him, no, but I doubt it affects his sponsors that much. Look at Shawn White, the "core" snowboarders have hated on him for the longest time, but he has made himself and his sponsors more money than anyone else.
UglyboyWait so Brogan can create an edit of over acted thuged out skiing and everyone gets a boner but Goepper does it and now you think he wants newschoolers to suck his dick? No, it's called having fun and making the edit you want to.
jason...you just don't get it
UglyboyEleborate on how 'I just don't get it'
YUNG_milksteAkBrogan never changed his style. He stuck to his own ideas about what he wanted his skiing to look like.
Goepper is trying to change and it's looking super lame.
Volkl has nothing to do with it.
Ahmet rides for volkl and he is a fucking goon.
Peter.he is afraid of becoming dumont
UglyboyWallisch has changed his style, Henrik has changed his style, Dane has changed his style. Every skier has changed their style in one way shape or form. It's called growing as a skier and developing your own individual style. Look at Virtika, they didn't use to be these ballers that they're now known to be. Lesh use to be a pro skier who just wanted outerwear that current companies at the name weren't making. Now, he's a baller.
Also, with regards to Ahmet riding for Volkl. That post was about how Volkl use Nick to market towards a more general market of brand recognition.
freestyler540I think its called: Realizing you career is coming to an end.
Look at Tanner Hall's transformation from being on top and people worshiping him to not being able to ski for a year. In his documentary, he points out there is more than skiing. Being young and talented can get you famous, but one kid is always going to come out of nowhere and be better than you. He will push you until you get hurt, and in skiing its the lead cause of retiring. Tanner seemed to have woken up and went from being a pro skier to skier role model.

YUNG_milksteAkThey didn't change their style at all. Wearing different fitting clothes is not what defines style.
Your love for goepper is too strong.

he's not going out of his way to tell you you're skiing is awful (which im sure it is)[/QUOTEhahaha
FBGMhahaha
T-NutcrackerI feel bad for being the first whistleblower in this thread, but I believe the answer to OPs question has been hidden from NS for too long. Just like horsedick.mpeg it's because Goepper has metaphorically and literally no balls. He had someone throw a rock at his balls real hard when he was younger and they had to cut them off ( incl. his dick ). His groin looks just like horsedick.mpeg's.
DeebieSkeebiesJesus Christ, why do you fucking people care so much? let the fucking dude ski, he's not going out of his way to tell you you're skiing is awful (which im sure it is), so lets just live and let live and stop this TMZ bullshit, you fucking girls.
