The Irony of Liberty Snowflex

Does anyone else find it incredibly ironic that the hotbed of east coast summer freeskiing, a sport we all know has strong connections to debauchery and fun, is on the campus of an evangelical college who's students are fined for having sex and wearing flip flops?

I try to keep politics/religion separate of skiing, but i have always wondered this to.

I was thinking the same thing the other day! It doesn't make much sense to me either.

Eh, its whatever. I hear that place is pretty dope. SPHC just had our annual rail jam yesterday. It was rad a great turnout, and a killer setup. but so much snow. We had to truck it in from ice rinks from all over western PA. Although worth it, Summer jibbing is an endless struggle. I would take advantage of a place like Liberty if i lived closer. But I'm also surprised at you boys. What brings you closer to religion than skiing? This is why were here. And although i will admit that organized religion such as evangelical christianity isn't exactly my cup of tea, I will say that bible paper, is great rolling paper.

is this actually a serious response? You won't go SKIING because a certain group of people believe something that might not resonate with your beliefs?

If you think about it, park skiing is like a religion. We go to worship grounds (mountains) or even have our own shrines at home. We worship idols (tom wallz, t hallz, etc). Perform ancient rituals (backflips, shotgun beers, lip blind tru) and wear our religious garm (tall ts and full tilts)

My assumption is that Liberty University gets tons of donations because of religious reasons leading them to have tons of money, Snowflex places cost tons of money.

Religon = Money?
Money = Snowflex?

You can't have that formula without capitalism. Whether it be fortunate or unfortunate to your position, thats the variable.

like its kind of sad that in this day and age people are still so uptight about things like that. but hey, they have a right to there own opinion and views just like everyone else, so if they wana do I, so be it. I do think its pretty ironic tho.

It's on Candlers mountain, but I like to call it candy mountain because it's such a sweet magical place.

Not saying I care or mind, it's just something I thought was a little odd

That's how the evangelicals get you. You think you are just having a good time with the boyz on some righteous snowflex, but they are trying to get you to turn to Jesus.
