Stop clowning on athletes that have more talent in their pinky than you do in your whole body because they don’t please your elite subjective “style” taste. Positivity grows the sport.
As fans of the sport, we are all entitled to our opinions on what competitors do. Especially when the sport in question is judged subjectively to some degree
Idgaf about Andri hate in the past few weeks I have seen zahner slander, j karseter slander, hell even Tom Wallisch slander. And that’s just this week, NS loves to hate in general it’s honestly pretty fucking whack. The ratio of “ *skier* appreciation posts” to posts hating various people is telling of just how angry kids on this site are

I agree man. People get so worked up about simple shit and miss the forest for the trees but we see the same stuff in other sports too. Doesn’t make it right though.
It really hits home when I’m trying a trick and scared and getting wrecked and then I think of an edit I saw and someone doing my trick with way more tech and difficulty. These athletes are crazy talented
I’m totally down for having an opinion. There are dozens of skiers I’d rather watch than the podium last night. I’d rather support those athletes than tear down the ones who have dedicated their careers to skiing at an incredible level
This is true, especially in regard to newcomers. But I see nothing wrong with criticizing the skiing of professional adults. Not saying everyone should be like skierman but it doesn't have to be all peace and love.

“This pro is boring af.”
“But you can’t even do half the tricks he does.”
“True, that doesn’t make me want to watch their edits.”
like dawg let’s be real we all have at least 1 pro skier who’s content/parts we’ll skip over. End of the day idc if you’re the greatest person to ever touch skis- if you’re boring to watch you’re boring to watch. Like not gonna name any names cause that’s kinda rude but let’s not pretend that we need to enjoy/respect every pro skier because “they’re better than u”.
I actually filmed some clips this winter so when I have the time to edit everything you guys can feel free to totally shit on my skiing I honestly don't mind

Fair point but nah ima keep giving my opinion on professionals skiing. It’s one thing to talk complete shit about them if they don’t deserve it but giving your opinion on a professional athlete there’s nothing wrong with.
Edit: there’s also too many good skiers in existences to give each and everyone love. Each and every has a following and a group that won’t follow them. People are different. Opinions vary. Can’t praise everyone actively.

Never once did i hear someone say "ayo put on that new ragettli vlog"
listen listen ladies I did shitpost and the Showdown thread thread was up .2 seconds after it ended so it was very impulsive. I didn't take time to separate my feelings towards some aspects I really didn't fuck w to think of the full picture of the event. It is one of the most beneficial comps in skiing for sure as far as comps go. Tucker did more tech tricks than Owen and deserved the podium, but you can't blame a dude for wanting an "AM" kid to podium over a line skis athlete. the Cal Carson point I made I stand behind, that dude works just as hard as the rest of the field and dedicates his time to some of the most high risk skiing possible. For that I feel he deserved to be approached better. And as for the karsteter thing i think its insane that people aren't allowed to have an opinion on someone just because that person can ski better than them. People fuck w him, totally fine im not gonna shit on u for liking a certain skier. Its just mental to me that people can shit on someone else for NOT liking him. Ill never ever be able to 2p 8, and do I wish I could? FUCK ya it would be dope. His skillset is fucking mental, but I wish it was more than just spins in or out. Obviously that's my opinion and it means jack shit in the grand scheme of things but I never meant for people to devour that and overshadow that I still recognize how damn good he is.
