VinnieFI don't think skiers produce more, just skiing/boarding have it mostly condensed into one time of year. That and from what I've seen NS is really a leader when it comes to media platforms for action sports so pretty much all content in freeskiing gets put on NS making it easy to view all awesome edits in one place so browsing NS makes it seems like skiing has far more awesome edits.
dylansiggersLol no.
Ever been to the berrics...
bgeskiorcheck hellaclips, thrasher, transworld, the berrics, slap forums, or youtube. way more skateboarding
Mr.BishopThe berrics doesn't have am content though does it? Its all pro stuff?
I do agree that other sports have a way better output of professional content, but skiing has a very specific advantage in the am/semi-pro element.
Mainly: The fact that you're a skier means that there is a 95% chance your family has wealth. With this wealth you can get a fancy camera and a macbook pro for christmas when you decide to start making edits either of yourself or your buddies.
Chances are at least someone in your crew will fit in this category.
If you're a skateboarder from the slums no chance.
So I actually do feel that skiing specifically (as the richest sport in the world including yachting and golf) has a real upper hand on the rest of them for the ability to create tonnes of sick am edits.
.tomskisIs skiing actually the richest sports in the world? Rich as in money spent per person or money required to participate? Would be interested to read some more about this if you know where the source is!
S.J.Wsurfing- $400 board, $200 wetsuit
skating-$100 maybe?
soccer--10 dollar ball
skiing-$400 pass, $400 skis, outerwear etc etc.
Skiing would be one of the most expensive sports, yes you can say there's ways around it, but at the end of the day, a kid from the ghetto can't use skiing as an escape, however you can use surfing/skating/ soccer as an escape

MinggYoutube sucks though for watching edits. Usually the same 10 videos come up in the suggested side bar or the same videos come up no matter what you search. Not to mention everything that shows up has gopro or red bull somewhere in the title or description. Not to say they aren't good edits, just not what I'd be looking for. You have to really search for what you want on youtube. I can't speak for the other sites because I haven't visited them, but with NS it's like everything is right here in one spot. Also, the quality of edits uploaded on here is fuckin amazing. It isn't too often I come across a "bad" edit. NS members, the content team, and just the overall set up of this site make it so perfect.
yungFoolerSJDuring peak editing and video seasons (now through the falll) do skiiers produce more media content than any other action sport? I feel as if more ski videos get dropped on a weekly basis, amateur or pro, than any other action sport.
VinnieFnot surfing. it falls in the same category as skiing, unless you live within walking distance of a surf spot.

Profahoben_212I get your point....but serious soccer is very expensive. You have multiple grand for clubs/even more for travel, $200-300 for cleats....and balls are actually very expensive....like $100ish.
.tomskisI guess I was more referring to the claim that it's the most expensive (mainstream) sport out. I would guess sailing would be more expensive, and something like kart racing, motor cross, etc. would also be more expensive as well.
No one is arguing skiing is cheap - it could be if you were super committed and prepared to just go BC skiing in tent forever. It's expensive by any measure and definitely prohibitive in this regard.

PULLSports where you have to be a member of a club to actually compete, i.e. tennis, golf, etc. all have costs
saracheezyto me it seems like skateboarding has much more content produced. maybe it's just cuz skating and skiing are my main "action" sports outlets, but there are just so many friggin skaters in the world, many more than there are skiers. if you follow the right people on youtube, vimeo, whatever, and pair that with professional content on all the major skate websites, there's much more new material to watch per day
steezyjibberNeither of the sports mentioned require a membership to compete haha. Just sayin.

hemlockjibber8What the hell type of family did I miss out on? I grew up getting ski pants from the lost and found at our hill and when I started making edits my parents told me to get a job.
