muffMan.Yeah sometimes it can be played but powder segments done well can blend great in a movie.
Wastelands was a prime example, that gap pwhite did around 3:50 is just insane to me. Music, pov, and the consequence of that hit just sends me chills
1spliff2guinniesThe Armada Kimbo looks like ass. I hate the look of directional tips.
armchair_skierGopro footage is usually unwatchable trash under most circumstances, but I really like watching POV of gnarly skiers doing big mtn lines inbounds.

K-Dot.1000 skis being all red and having no discernible logo is so lazy and uninspired. It’s the epitome of the boring polygons and shape graphics of the late 2010s except simplified down to one color. Give me top sheets that express even just an ounce of artistic creativity that reflect the moment of skiing that we’re in. It’s such a waste to have what is truly a special medium for artistic expression and do next to nothing with it. “We don’t follow the seasonal production cycle” neither does on3p and they still cook up fire top sheets that demarcate the moment and will be remembered fondly years from now.
This applies to season equipment too. Pay one of the millions of starving artists out there and express something, anything. The whole vibe of these purely utilitarian topsheets feels like an extension of “skiing is serious” when in reality skiing is so superfluous and ridiculous and fun.
nCrowWill Wesson is clearly one of the GOATs and I'm tired of everyone pretending he isn't

nCrowIt seems like it'll be a fun ski, but yeah the shape looks ugly as shit, especially flopping around on rails
KungKalmarNah. Only type of topsheet that is better than blank colors is wood with a nice finish. Single color and wood topsheets are the only ones I don't get bored of.
Blank topsheets are better for artistic expression. Do the art yourself. Paint, draw, do whatever, be creative. Art done by the skier is better form of artistic expression. It tells something about the person. It results in unique skis. Topsheet that thousands of other people have on their feet does not, which is boring af. Opportunity for people to have skis with unique art on them is fun.
From the perspective of 1000skis. All red color is very recognisible. You can spot the skis from miles away. They can use older clips for their ig reels spam marketing. I respect that they aim to encourage people to use their skis until the end not buy skis because of the graphics.
I think 1000skis gets way more hate than they should. Yes the ig reel spam is annoying. Their content is high quality outside of ig and tiktok. Their youtube videos are nice. Their website is the best out of any ski brand. 1000skis also supports smaller skiers, they support and have events like the snobben open. To me their biggest flaw is the same other green companies have, Trying to sell shit for people who might not need shit and at the same time being so anti-consumerism and green.
motttheir biggest flaw is that one single ski costs almost double what a pair of k2s or armadas on sale does, even on3p has better pricing
BallClapperI’m just pissed it’s made for midgets.

Y_GuyCouldn't tell you if this has already been said since there's 75 pages of forums, but instagram clip farming is kinda cool and saving up a bunch of clips to make some type of ski film is kinda boring. I'd rather watch dope instagram edits on my feed than watch even a 15 min long film. 5 min max, but at that point just put it on reels. Also the whole wave of insta-skiers is kinda sick and from a sponsorship standpoint makes way more sense since the value of sponsoring someone can be quantified based on instagram analytics.
SkibumsmithSeriously go fuck yourself.

Teddy_SweetsI don’t think open jacket has ever looked good. Zip that shit up you look like you just learned French fries. If you’re too hot there are deadass hundreds of other options to wear

SteezyYeetercan we stop making "daddy's money" comments? it's so fucking played out and cringe. it's like a form of victimization we impart on ourselves. it's genuinely some redditor ass thing to say. what, do you feel smug saying that? oh, you figured it out, it's cause of "daddy's money"? wow good job. you found the correlation between money and buying things. like shut the fuck up bro those guys are NOT bothered by your comment about "daddy's money" while they go ski around the world and train and shit. you guys looooove saying it because somehow it makes you feel better for your own inadequacies which you can't seem to accept, but in reality, people can say the same thing about you. even if you work and pay for everything on your own, the fact that you can ski at all is super privileged. like, some people would have to put that money towards their own family. so "daddy's money" lets you ski, too.
ParkingLotPissYeah its defiantly true that almost everyone who grew up skiing come from a somewhat privileged position, that being said its much less impressive if your good a skiing but had access to airbags, coaches, high end gear, and season passes to the best terrain. Id be lying if I said it didn't grind my gears a bit when I see people who grew up with places like whistler as their main hill and somehow I'm still better then them (not that I'm very good)
Teddy_SweetsI don’t like chairlift footrests. Unless there’s like 2 people on the lift you have to scrunch your feet onto that tiny bar and in the event that there is extra space on the chair, there isn’t usually one for each foot so you have to sit with that peg thing between your legs. Also, why are they so short? I just like to let my legs hang
VTshredder69Eheath is a woman.
armchair_skierSeeing an uptick in Siver hate around here…
not cool dudes.
SlushSeasonJohnny Collinson selling workout plans on instagram is washed as fuck.
Just go coach the Snowbird freeride team like any other retired pro

-emile-this applies to literally every aspects of life. ''daddy's money'' is such a weak and played cop out.
Farmville420Am I the only one who genuinely doesn't care about style in comp skiing? Would much rather comp jocks chuck their life away on a massive booter than a stylish 540. Like I enjoy watching them swag out a cork 5 blunt in an edit or insta post but I always see people saying stuff like "spin to win 🥱" to an NBD and i feel like that's just lame. Style over everything but when I'm watching X Games or a World Cup I want to see the craziest tricks ever not some shit I would see at Copper on a random day in December.
treebeardOne style hit should be mandatory, but on a smaller feature. Sure, link doubles and triples on the jump line to show you got the skills/balls to do big tricks, but at the end of the day those big tricks are mostly just commitment and muscle memory. At least one feature should be there to show off your control, like I know a big floaty tweaked-the-fuck-out switch 3 isn't more technically difficult than a dub 12 but it's a completely different skillset, and you should have both if you're competing at a high level
Farmville420Yeah see I disagree completely, save those tweaked 3s for kimbo sessions or something, I want to see a billion 2160s and perfect landings. On thing I do hate is how little grab variety there is in comps, usually just japan, blunt, mute, and safety, so in that regard I would like some variety. But i genuinely dont care about watching stylish tricks in comps, like at all. Creative shit yes, style like who fuckin cares its X games show me a quad cork and go big
GrandThingsJust keep that same energy once they're wearing lycra speed-suits and riding 156cm skis
Farmville420the current generation of comp kids for halfpipe and big air is arguably the coolest generation

treebeardI get what you're saying, going big and hucking your shit is the true spirit of comps. One of my favorite X-games memories of the last decade was watching Vinny Gagnier win big air in 2015 with those ridiculous double-grabbed 1620's, like fucking talk about spin to win it was so aggressive and non-styled but in a weird way that's exactly why it was so stylish. But slopestyle shouldn't just be three or four "big air" hits, then it's just another big air comp
Farmville420I'm really stoked the kids found these weird "pretzel flips" and have started doing them without flailing. Super tech and not a ton of rotations, that's another thing I've been enjoying seeing lately too.
