I watched some old superunknown edits and some other old videos and everyone was about afterbang, bandanas, XXXXXL, and other gangster ass shit. What happened?

Huck_NorrisSeriously, what the fuck are you talking about?

You are confused. Go find me some thugs- like in the ghetto thugs- and ask them if they want to go skiing. I bet they have their Subarus packed, bro. Lol


Fucking children these days, Jesus Christ. So eager to be a piece of shit.


I'm not saying that it is "thug" per say,I'm just saying that skiing is starting get recognized by wu-tang and other rappers who are considered thugs or gangsters. That's not to say that we now have justification to and wont look like a dumbass doing a bunch of hand signals and etc. but we are more justified now than we were 5 years ago.

The Thug Era began in 2002-2003 (SM3 year ) , peaked in 2008/2009 (jon brogan) and began the decline around 2012.

Everything is cyclical.. It looks like the new hot shit is rocking stuff inspired by the late 70s/early 80s with a mashup of 90s influence

Hopefully the style is dead for good. Watching a bunch of upper class, white teenagers pretending to be 'gangsta' was probably the most embarrassing trend I've lived through.

I was a gangsta that became a skier, not a skier that became a gangsta. And that's why I stay G with the baggy clothes n fur hoods

People love to get on their high horse about not acting thug. Let people act the way they want. I find baggy clothing to look good on the hill, but not off the hill. I don't think any skier who wears over sized clothing genuinely thinks they're a thug.

BackseatBenI'm just waiting for the day that we enter into the GS era, where all the crazy kids that go hard are rocking their GS suits for maximum aero off lips.


Future spins, just think about all the extra rotations those GS kids will get in their FIS style comps.

There's two things here. One is XXXXXL tees and throwing up gang signs and, as MSP pointed out, being too cool to claim stuff. That's all dumb. The second part is the style of skiing that came from this, and the vibes that came from edits, which are both legendary, as I feel Ghood and Fuck! show. Afterbang also came from this era which is sick when properly executed. This still lives on, but not as prevalent.

Its better than the JAH BLESS THE DAY shit that some guy who posts in all caps unleashed on the sport.

HOWEVER: this exists. https://vimeo.com/64811488
Not totally dead.
