Idk what to think about it, looks like she is the public face of women's freeskiing and maybe freeskiing in general at this point.

I mean she's hands down the best women's pipe skier. In Big Air she threw her first 16 ever in her last run at the Olympics to win gold. That took serious balls. She lifts up, encourages, and supports her competitors/friends at every event.

She's a better skier than you, but don't hate.

Kelly Sildaru, she's been in the game a long time grinding it out on the comp circuit, wish she would drop some edits instead of all those blogs, but her skiing is def developing some style to it and she's not afraid to send it.

Honestly if I could go for free then I probably would. Would be cool to meet some of my favorite musicians. So I'm not gonna get mad at someone for going. That being said I think the rest of your comment is spot on and I think it's a shame that people care about this narcissistic bullshit.

Nigel's last part came out in 2018, he had an embarrassing showing at the Olympics, and is generally shit on/hated by the skate community. At least Eileen was in the news fairly recently.

Weird that the most popular skateboard icon is hated by the general community, just like how people hate on Elieen. They go cause theyre popular, nyjah has 5m ig followers, you might not like him, the underground skaters might not either, but the general public sure does.

I always felt she was overhyped. Imo. People latched onto her and seemed like they didn't care about other people progressing. Cool she was doing 9s both ways but they looked awkward and a little sketchy always.

Obviously she has more tricks now, but idk. I feel like sometimes we have to pick somebody to bet on and stay with them no matter what. Super unpopular opinion.

Its where multimillion dollar fashion companies whip out their cocks and dickslap the working class by convincing them that fashion is whatever autistic bullshit thats get worn at one of these events.

And for all you dumbasses actually listing who you would rather see at the met gala. You don’t even know what the met gala is, why the fuck would you care about which freeskier is represented at the show you don’t watch. I bet $100 they don’t even mention anything about skiing. Its about rich people wearing rich people shit, Eileen Gu fits the card way better than anyone else in skiing, just be happy theres a skier there in the first place u dumb fucks

Met Gala is supposed to be attended by the newsmakers and cultural icons of the previous year, each personally invited by Anna Wintour. It's not just about being popular or well known. Tons of celebrities don't make the cut each year. It made sense to me that he was invited the year skating was in the Olympics, he was the posterboy of skating and the fashion industry loves counter-culture. But like I said, he flopped in the Olympics, hasnt released a part in forever so I was just surprised he got the invite again this year.

Also the reason people hate him (multiple sexual assault allegations) is pretttty different than the hate Eileen gets IMO

while I completely agree with you, I’m sure his continued mainstream popularity coupled with his “connections” and previous attendance got him in, I’m not really surprised. the Met and the fashion world doesn’t care about when he released his last part, only the skateboarding world does
