-Danfocus on this part and think about which guy is really “that guy”
Me lol. Which is why I’ve thought about deleting the edit but the homies wouldn’t be too happy about it.
I know I’m being an absolute cock about it and this goes for everyone in the thread but I am not shitting on this mans skiing ability AT ALL. Some of his editing stuff just irked me.
Do I think he’s a bad guy for it? No! He seems cool and fun to ski with. I’m just super picky in the way people edit stuff which seems like it’s a flaw of mine but whatever. And he’s obviously new to the sport so he doesn’t know what’s “proper” or “common” for edits yet. Could I have called him out in a more respectful way? Forsure! Ngl I WAS a dick about it but I’m not a fan of sugarcoating.
For the record to everyone as well, as you said in another thread, Dan, which was something that really resonated with me these past couple days which is when I first read it…
…“They’re your next favorite skier”…
Anyone on NS you can ask anyone I ride with for verification if you like, but this little phrase here is exactly why I treat little 11 year old kids at the hill getting into the scene the same way I treat big dogs who are the “best” riders on the hill. I love stoking up the younger generation, there’s never a time I ride into the park and I don’t say hey what up homie whether that be I’m riding with myself or i’m with a big group of people. Hell I’ll even film for some of these kids anytime they ask me. And I can tell they get stoked on it.
why do I do all this? Cause there was a select few big dogs at the park who treated me this way and it made me feel insanely accepted into the scene, and now that I may be one of those “big dogs” (yeah cringe term Ik) I wanna do the same thing for those kids, and then some.
the point I’m trying to get at is if you want your crop to grow (the younger/up and coming/ newer generation of park riders, whether that be young or old) you’ve gotta nurture it as much as possible. Even if it’s with a little “tough love”. Was what I said “tough love”? No, but you get my point.
To avoid hypocrisy I’m glad you guys called ME out for me being improper or cringe just the way I tried to do on this homie’s edit. Makes me re-shape my thinking a little bit.
much love, weast.
