Ok, so I've been riding the Kartel 98's this year, perfect skis, couldn't ask for much better... But I've been getting a lot of flak from older skiers (Of course) because of the graphics.
One woman gasped and said "How dare you!?" as she pointed at my skis. Some bitch racer dad said "I really hate that"... I just looked at him, nodded and said yeah a couple times because I was listening to music. It didn't really set-in that he was saying something bad until I got off the lift.
I'm assuming that the praying skull thing is what was offending them... but nowadays there is no way to tell. The green color might be racist or something, I don't fucking know.
So are the graphics that bad, or is it just a matter of old people being grumpy because they are going to die soon?
I'm so sick of the judgement that is flung around in skiing. I swear to god, if somebody's goggles are a little crooked everybody loses their mind and rips on them for it. Its starting to really kill the vibe.
Anybody have similar experiences with strange stuff like this?
