Farmville420Why do ppl love to dickride the pioneers of the sport? People are way too stuck in the past and it’s annoying cuz kids are on another level now. Seamus Flanagan is the goat I don’t care
SteezyYeeterliking someone is not "dickriding"
sindreplassenI feel like Keegan saved level 1, dude is the best
Christian_BaleA lot skiers are essentially social media influencers who, instead of getting paid as they ideally would, get some free gear and market not just their skiing but their lifestyle on social media. It's like your whole online persona is just one product rather than a means of actually expressing yourself and showcasing some of your skiing. Might be stating the obvious with this one but I still think it's a shame. I think Emmet had the right idea when said on twoplanker podcast (as I recall) that people who ride for vishnu don't need to active on social, and instead they get actual compensation for filming actual videos and for their role in their local community. Wish this was more common
Farmville420Not referring to liking people or giving flowers. I’m talking about people who are like “nothing will ever top stept! That shit was peak” as if they are still peak street skiing.
Same with anything really, not just street crews. I get putting respect on peoples names but but don’t sit here and tell me “no one will ever have style like brogan!” When I could name probably 50 style lords who all have infinitely better style than brogan ever did.
And on top of the hood was legendary but Magma I and II blow that shit out of the water any day of the week. Gonna sit and drool over Sammy Carlson throwing dubs on hood while hunter hess is doing triples off a natty quarter pipe like come on.
Shit irks me, we living in the best generation of skiers and ski films but everyone too busy dickriding old pros and getting caught up in nostalgia to even realize the best shit of all time is coming out now, not 10-15 years ago
clindblomskierNew Street parts that people refer to as wack these days have spots tricks and style that would’ve been legend status 10 years ago
Farmville420forre, strictly, CL, buldoz, fucking any of the highly praised crews blow stept, 4bi9, level 1 street parts out of the water. It’s not even close. seamo hitting a back 6 off a spot cam Riley was doing 90 on to switch off of, the future is now and these kids are on a whole different level
TOAST.Yea, but they don't make street skiing look absolutely miserable.
Farmville420Nah but HG skis kinda made it dark too. Stylistically I think a lot of the stept movies are pretty supreme but I meant the kids in the movies now are just better. You can’t tell me anyone from that era is touching joona sipola

cool270outI agree that level 1 has fallen all the way off. New films are not very good

BingPowmaybe you could say that about the full lengths, but really enjoy the shorter films that level 1 is a part of

sindreplassenmy brother in christ how is the skier with the xgames most medals and tons of high quality video parts overrated
Jemshenrik harlaut is overrated asf
sorry but bdog is miles ahead of harlaut
armchair_skierb dog is under appreciated for sure
Jemswinning medals doesn’t mean everything, i still think he’s overrated.
bdog was almost a decade ahead of his time in trick selection
Jemsnever realized bdog basically invented new wave skiing
Farmville420How is he overrated he’s top 2 of all time? Hes outlived like every fuckin skier from his generation and still drops heat parts every season while competing in the comp circuit. What more does he have to do to be fairly rated in ur eyes
-emile-the ''pretzel flips'' are stupid and look fucking ugly

WoFlowz^^^
Jemsnobody in this mf ever shares real ass unpopular opinions or gets downvoted so i shared my unpopular opinion that i don’t think people should dickride harlaut so hard

ASSholebomber22You're welcome for my service, pussy
K-Dot.sorry you were taken advantage of by war profiteers
ReturnToMonkeyCork 3s are overrated
chumbawumbaman i love a good cork 3
but a clean cork 5 is just too nice
nCrowNot wearing a helmet while hitting big street stuff is some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Gonna be a lot of street skiers with CTE in 10-20 years. Honestly have way more respect for anyone wearing a helmet while hitting urban.

_Garagely_Skiing culture isn't nearly as chill as it's portrayed to be, tons of oversize egos and cultish attitudes
FreezyBreezyHe said opinions bro not facts
Jemsnever realized bdog basically invented new wave skiing
SlowbroWe're still chiller than skateboarding and snowboarding somehow, at least the park scene.
Jemssorry man but ripping dangerous shit with no helmet is beast as fuck and adds to the clip
