So after talking to a kid who just began park last season, he told me that he thought he was the biggest noob ever for not having any ski gear and having to wear his high school hoodie. But let's be honest. When I was a noob in 2008, I used to wear 2 pairs of jeans because I didn't have snowpants, and I painted my 20$ smith goggles because I thought it looked cool.

Confess my hittahs.

I wore a medium high-school basketball hoodie (I was probably 6 feet tall), bike helmet, and cheap ass goggles.

Also jumped off of lips and told people that I didn't do rails because they would damage my skis. (I was terrified)

I also wore Burton... And skinny Solomon pants.

Oh God why.

You know who else makes gopro edits from their helmet? Candide Thovex so by my logic. You and Candide Thovex are basically the same person.

I used to 50-50 boxes when i first started. My friend thinks I'm amazing now because I did a front 2 in front of him, I also did some more tech stuff but that front 2 blew him away, lets say he's still stuck in the stage a little bit

I'm an "old man" and still a Noob! When you are a Noob you can wear what ever you like and it's all good. I started in jeans then I progressed to the "Thrift Shop" and never looked back!

Tried to ski switch (which I then called backwards) on my racing children's dynastar skis, ran into an orange fence and got stuck there for 30 minutes until by random chance my dad came by and helped me untangle myself

the opposite of my thoughts. I think the reason skiing has went downhill sense the 2007-2011 era is the lack of layers.

I also didn't wear goggles. Granted, a lot of my skiing when I was young was afterschool at night on lit slopes so wearing goggles other than clear is rather pointless.

I also cased jumps cause I was scared to go big, straight slid boxes...

I can not frontflip for the life of me

Layers are the flavor of skiing. every person should have at least 3 visible.

i started skiing in middle school and my parents were too cheap to buy me a normal pair of skis so they got my a pair of ski blades. granted i taught myself to ski on those and now they are fun to dick around on but looking back it was bad.

My din's were set to the lowest setting, do when ever I hit a jump my ski would pop off. I didn't know what was happening, I had to take my skis to the rental maintenance guy and he fixed them for me.
