Replying to Do you guys like chairlift hype?
Pure pressure is probably one of the greatest things that ever existed in skiing. Personally for me I love it when I am in a split decision about whether I should jump of a cliff(or a jump/rail if your more into the park) or wait for more snow first. When someone bellows such a melodious," YEWW!" or "Send it!" it makes you feel like sort of an entertainer. Like people come to watch your show performed live. It's great that someone random just pushed you over your mental block and allowed you to progress. However, today someone did the opposite of hyping me up. I was talking to my friend about which landing under a looked the best (I was standing on cliff that had two pretty flat landing split by a track) when a guy yelled, "you won't do it pussy, you won't!" on the chair lift. First off, the dude looked like a middle age dad with rental skis (not that looks mean anything). Why though? Why can this guy say, " You got this brotha, The landing looks spectacular". I don't get why people heckle all the time but never back it up. If this guy said this, then came down and stomped the cliff in front of me without spotting his landing, fair play. I guess this should probably just end up in the rant thread. Also this may just seem like I'm just butt hurt and soft, but I honestly just ignored him and thought to myself I might just put this on Newschoolers. By the way, I stomped it pussy if you see this.
