Crusty Old Dried Up NSers

Ya know, those guys that are still stuck in a certain era, they are the ones who down everybody else's style of skiing. Get this, their style of skiing is not only the "steeziest" but it is also THE right way to ski. If you don't wear a Tall T and baggy pants you are automatically a bad skier according to these guys.

They don't contribute much to the industry as a whole, at least not anymore. In their hay day they had skiing sponsorships, nowadays they either moved on with their lives but still get on NSers to diss on "New Waves" or they haven't moved on with their lives and they are out on the hill looking like a grandpa wearing Tall Baggy Tshirts that cover their baggy pants. They say they hate stuck up racers but really they are just stuck up park, and all mountain skiers so if I were racing i'd hat them to. Did I also mention they smell? Yeah they stink. They hate the New Wave because New Wave skiers are younger, all eyes are on them now, and their style is complicated for these Krusty Krabs too mimic.

Face it, these old dudes health is deteriorating but they still want to be cork. They tried to butter but got a cramp in the process. Some of them sucked it up and moved onto snowboarding(You already know who it is!). Props to them, they would be better off snowboarding.

All in all who am I to tell these crusty old dudes how to life their lives? If they want to be bitter let them, it ain't my problem.

Dis yo boii speaking some real shit here on NS for Once. Peaces my Nizzles

Hate on the clothes all you want and the shitty kids emulating their favorite skiers poorly. I feel like not too long ago Newschoolers was hating on kids in super long tall tees that could barely ski and were fucking up the park and everything. They just dress differently and ski and bit differently now due to what is in fashion.

I think a decent amount of what the Bunch and the "new wave" is doing is incredibly kooky but there is also a lot of tricks that have never been done before that are absolutely bonkers. People get so hung up on arm movement that they forget how difficult it is to actually flex skis like that or the edge/body control it takes to pull some of those tricks off. Maybe some aspects and aesthetics are borrowed from skate boarding but it still takes a ton of skill and creativity to apply it to skiing.

So yeah fuck those guys for being original and doing their own thing. That's not what skiing is about apparently

who gives a fuck? i watch ahall, then henrik, then vishnu and i enjoy it all. OP is fucking retarded for trying to bring this topic up, and i think the way some of you said "old dudes" shouldnt have a say in skiing or on NS is fucking disrespctful and literally one of the stupidest things i've heard in a long time. with every new era there is going to be hate, and theres going to be people who dont want it to change, but it is, and everyones gonna have to fucking deal with it, or bolster what they think is good for skiing. However, that doesnt mean you have to be a dick about what you think. cant we just all hate snowboarding instead?

The difference is that some people hated on tall ts. No one hated on the switch 10s, dub 7s, switch right 9s, 4 disaster pretz 2, etc. that came out of that era.

Now a days, kids do a press on a bench and a blind switch up and act like its revolutionary.

What happens to dudes skiing fast and going massive? The new wave killed that. Forget having balls and massive tricks (yes, dub 12's are fucking cool) to get noticed.... now you just need some sweat pants, a 20 year old camera, garbage Lil Pump music, and a blind swap to switch.

so true. only thing id add is some people who like the tall t style dont exactly like massive tricks. yea theyre hard, but i personally like the tall t look BUT think a cork 7 or a simple hand drag here and there can look cooler than a dub 12.

Yeah, fair enough dude! Golden era style is so proper. So much better than wearing a track suit and waving your arms in the air while you wash out of landings.

LOL, like being judgmental is only restricted to NS. NS is just a reflection of how skiers feel and thank god for that. The whole, "heyyy mannn we're just all skiers and everything is like totally sick and that's awesome and you're all winners and the course and organizers were awesome today, just wanna thank my friends and sponsors," fake bullshit gets tiring. Embrace the different opinions instead of trying to Mr Rodgers whitewash everyone just because they're not 100% positive all the fucking time just because skiing brahhh.

The whole realm of skiing would be a lot more tolerable and entertaining if the skiers weren't scared to express themselves. As of now, they're stuck to a few "love everyone and everything" sound bites due to fear of retaliation from sponsors and other industry douches who feel everything needs to be 100% PC and supportive. Its sad to see people being forced to be fake for the sake of not upsetting oversensitive tools.

If being critical was that detrimental then park skiing would have never existed in the first place. Grow a pair and stop being fucking pussies.

.lenconWhy the fuck do people call it "New Wave"??? It makes it sound awful and cringey.. why can't we just call it skiing?? Or reference it as to "bunch style" or something like that if you need to call it something..

Also, it doesn't help when NS posts something on social media everyday callin it "new wave". Way to have a terrible name probably stick around now..

It stuck

I am a crusty old skier dude, I have retired my tight racer ski pants from the eighties, retired my one piece ski suit from the nineties, and have moved into this "new wave" 21st century of skiing and honestly, I dig it. I still have a little parallel in my turns but have added a little more "swerve" since. Hate on this, or hate on that, it doesnt make you any better of a person to judge someone that is out doing the same thing you are doing, especially if they are having fun. Wear what you want to wear, ride what you want to ride, at the end of the day we are all going to end the same.

All you kids are just mad you werent old enough to appreciate the explosion of freeskiing.
In 2004-2014 freeskiing was a really exciting thing.
Progression was amazing, style was awesome.
I remember lapping mammoth park in 2008 and there was a gaper with a huge smile and look of amazement on his face watching everybody hit the last kicker. He looked stoked as fuck to see how aesthetic the tricks ppl were doing were. Another time some guy asked me to do a helicopter for him and his kid to watch. I feel like today the ns freeskiing wave has crashed and rolled back into the ocean. Freesking is still cool, but its not the underground secret stokehouse it used to be.

More to ops point: a large portion of americans grew up without getting smacked by their parents for being spoiled brat cunts, and today they have egos and a sense of righteousness hundreds of times larger than what they deserve. If the internet is a means to trim those pompous egos down to size, than i say by all means, let them give the entitled twats a reality check.
An example would be this: if a large portion of one gender believed that their emotions and feelings mattered as much or even more than facts and logic, do you really think they shouldnt be shit on and cut down to size?

Very well said. I guess I am as crusty as they come.


here we go:

Ski events used to be a fuckin party! Everyone had individual personality, style, attitude and everyone had shit to say to the camera- made you want to know them. Now personality in skiing is almost non-existent.....When was the last time you heard a pro skier say something on camera that wasn't "out here in ___ conditions are great everyone is killing it".... Skiers would go huge and features 60+ feet in the air. Everyone this year is saying ohh kimbo sessions is the greatest ski event of all time... progression is at its finest... features included two 30 foot jumps and an up rail with 3 feet of amplitude. I think the most amplitude i saw was like 25 feet up on a hip.

Event coverage of off-hill antics were just as interesting as the skiing it self - don't believe me look up any early JOI news story published by Schmuck . You'd hear stories of partying with models, getting kicked out of bars for pranks, breaking stuff, involving police, three sums with pro hoes, getting bailed out of jail with Jon's special keys. Now I bet they all sit on their phones, in a living room, eat broccoli and go to bed early.

Candide's event from 2007 had larger and more creative features than any event in the past 4 years.

Crusty ass rant over. New wave.... step it up, grow some balls and ski faster.

Climate change is real, but its not a problem. If temps get too hot we can dump billions of tons of fertilizer into the ocean and let plankton blast earth cooling oxygen back into the atmosphere much faster than 7 billion cars driving at the same time could produce earth warming CO2. We could make another ice age if we wanted.

its a niche trend inside a small sport, it will fizzle out just like afterbang. and people (especially outside of the ski world) will go back to wanting to watch people like crazy karl do big tricks off gnarly stuff
