ajbskiEgo is why people get injured or die. Don’t take my word for it, Go watch like a lion.
don’t underestimate even what getting injured does to you. I don’t wish that shit to anyone. Resort thing aside, I don’t wanna see or hear about people getting fucked and this “ego” circle jerking is not something to laugh about.
BigPurpleSkiSuitStanding on top of a cool but fairly routine line in the cirque at Snowbird called elevator. Basically a straightline through a narrow gap. Some kid and an instructor see me. The kid looks at what I'm about to hit and goes, 'no way!!!'
I just drop and head him go 'oh my god!!'
skiermanThere's a popular youtube snowboarder who made a vid on this line and they never hit it because they're such pussies. Its fucking cringe but popular among gapers of course.
BiffbarfGod you're such a pussy. It feels good to be validated when you do something you think is rad, get over it.
ajbskiwho the fuck cares about some jerries thinking your shit is legit.
ajbskiStfu. I had a few season ending injuries very close to me recently and I’m just thankful they weren’t life threatening.
pussy or not ego isn’t the right word for validation.
Like getting props from someone actually respectable in the industry might be cool, but who the fuck cares about some jerries thinking your shit is legit.

SteezMaster68For me the biggest ego boosters are when my friend told me I was a local legend at our resort, when a dad tapped his son and said “wow look at that kid” as I did something going by them, and when I casually did a butter 3 and some kids yelled from the chair lift “that was the steeziest thing I’ve ever seen”. Got to love skiing at a small Midwest hill where doing an Ollie makes kids think your a pro.

Skier_boi616What really makes me feel like good is when I throw a 3 and then everyone just stares at me or claps. That’s the best
ajbskiI just hope you guys are doing this risky stuff because it’s actually fun for you and not just seeking validation.
I just hate seeing people getting into riding because it looks cool.
and I just realized that this forum doesn’t really do anything for me at the moment. I’m not in the mental space for the cheap laughs and I don’t think anyone cares to hear sound advice.
ski within your abilities assholes. Ski patrol hates having to scrape up your carcasses.

TRVP_ANGELJokes on them, free urine therapy session
betzSkiing at Heavenly is a huge ego boost if you're even a half decent skier. There are just so many jerries everywhere, standing at the top of every blue run like they're the great wall of gapers, that merely just zooming around without any hesitation makes you feel like a god.
MastePoleWhackerWas ripping ass down the line under snake creek at btown, dropping cliffs and shit when I found a can of pringles someone dropped from the lift. Opened up that lid and like chugged the pringles out of the can and the crowd went wild
ajbskisound advice: dont let the hype get in the way of being able to judge things clearly.
thats my message.
and yes, getting gratification from people does in fact inhibit your ability to judge things as they are. like its not even debateable, its straight neuroscience.
carrettadude people have been shitting on your opinion on this topic unanimously, just drop it ffs
ajbskioh no! newschoolers disagrees with me. what will i ever do?!
i dont come here for upvotes or for a sense of belonging. who actually cares about fake internet points...
its something no one wants to hear but needs to be heard. dont let it get to your head. no one is actually as good a skier as they think they are.

GrandThingsThis dude is riding through life with training wheels on.
Do you ever push yourself? Or try new things? Or care about progression and developing your skills?
ajbskiive been putting the hours in. on snow and off snow. you could check the progression thread and see my post there, but clearly you dont spend much time looking at that stuff
GrandThingsSounds like you're being a little risky dude, I'd probably slow down a little bit. Don't want to get hurt, amirite?!?!
DeebieSkeebiesajbski takes the cake for the biggest ego in skiing currently, which says a lot because this is a sport 100% entirely built on egos
ajbskilook im just defending my perspective. that should be admirable
Slowbrotelling others how to think about you is tiny pp energy
