Call em out. Mfs who are cocky about shit.


Cany really make a fully truthful assumption but I feel like siver is one. Like we get it you can spin a tornado in the same direction with a fuck ton of swaps on every rail, no need to act like a 12 year old who just landed his first front 2 in front of the camera.


rant over, but fr I wanna hear who y’all think is cocky. These kinds a threads get the sauce stirred a lil bit.

Spoiled mfs who get coaches and get to travel all winter to ski and then proceed to act like the shit tick me off.

these kids be reposting their own edit like three different times and act like such a badass

yeah we get it douche your mommy and daddy paid for you to become mediocre at best compared to people who are actually good.

these kids gonna be acting like this well into their 30s picking on little kids in the park after they flame out and make it fucking no where in skiing

I remember back in the days of SLVSH, people thought A Hall had an awful attitude because he was getting pissed off in a game. Anyone remember that mega thread?

Rode the chair two seasons ago with a couple middle schoolers, one of which unironically and loudly claimed to be the best skier on the mountain. His friends seemed rather annoyed with him and just let him keep stroking himself.

To me it comes off like he knows that’s what he’s supposed to say when he gets a compliment. And his complaining about not winning X Games big air. He seems like someone who really needs to be the center of attention

To be clear I don’t hate Henrik at all even though I’ve said some unpopular opinions about him lately. I’m just mildly annoyed by how much people suck his dick even when he’s doing something wack

He can get away with more than most skiers and I think he knows it

When I bought Kartels three years ago they got so much attention in the lift line. Felt like driving a lambo. Now they blend in a lot more cause more people have ON3P.

Dudes who pull up to the pre season hike park and work on a back 2 the whole day then at the end of the season at the same resort on closing day you see the same guy still doing the same back 2 over and over again on the same rail. Spoiler alert it’s me

I feel attacked. Except instead of season make it decade. That’s a lot of damage.

BigPurpleSkiSuitThe truly great skiers usually are pretty humble about their skills.


T Hall has def been guilty of having a massive ego in the past but these days he seems pretty humble, in all of his recent interviews he is always shouting out other skiers and talking about how sick they are. I love it that he clearly spends a ton of time watching other skiers content, same goes for dollo

Pdog is an incredibly down to earth dude and also just happens to be a sick ass filmer who brings his own flavor to the table in terms of filming/editing. He probably deserves it.

It seemed like back in the Simon Dumont days it was more common to find cocky skiers.

I don't think Siver is cocky, he just goes a lil to gangster with it sometimes.

People always shit on people with big egos but for alot of people they would not be as good of a skier if they did not have big egos, same goes for alot of people in life, I dont think it is so bad to have a big ego if you can back it up.

yeah he was getting uber competitive with aleksi, but so was aleksi. Great game, and for him to do all kinds of weird as fuck Ruka kid tricks and then getting the set back and immediately calling switch right dub 9 was pretty great TV.

There’s a reason he gets so much recognition. As a filler shooting anyone and everyone (from local carinthia kids to Phil casabon) P is one of the most reserved and creative homies out. Regardless of where ur from or ur background in skiing he makes you feel like a homie the second you meet him. Not to mention the creativity he brings to this sport, both through his filming and through his style. Skiing, and frankly the world need more people who are just truly themselves, and p is exactly that.
