BLandzDon't wanna toot my own horn but if anyone could be the giftedhater of skiing its me no lie. I just think its lame shitting on ppl without giving them a chance to defend themselves and also in order to continually make content you need to force videos. Gifted Hater does do a lot of positive vids too tho I guess

chumbawumbagive us a hot take then pal
Raf.Diaz.If you do a backslide to front slide (or vice versa) you need to do a switch up! don’t just walk on the rail
BLandzI said urban skiing is overrated in another thread so I guess i’ll elaborate on that. To preface this, I still think urban skiing is cool, just overhyped, and the reason why I say this is because:
Urban jumps are lame and not as cool as park jumps
Not very many good lines, just single clips
Doing a skislide on a hard ass rail is dope but 90% of dudes that hit urban arent good enough to hit big features so they end up hitting normal rails and doing tricks they would do in the park anyways
The b roll is usually a little better but dudes try too hard to be artistic and forget that the point of a ski video is ski clips
The soul of skiing is on a mountain, carving is sick af( which you don't do in urban) same with going big on sidehits
Small urban features are fine in the context of an edit but boring if you don't do bigger features
You spend hours building a lip to a rail that you get one or two clips on or you get kicked out
The only thing better about urban is the uniqueness of the features but you can't do sick jumps, carve, put lines together etc.
Urban is still sick af but everyone holds it too highly imo. A good park edit with some nice sidehit footy is unmatched.
chumbawumbaotherwise i dont really care for it either

chumbawumbastepp / trollin was the closest thing we ever had
chumbawumbamy hot take of the day
park/urban skiing culture is lame:
tall t's, gold chains, trap music, etc - does not fit aesthetically with watching generally well off white kids huck their meat into snow/rails. It hurts to watch. yall need to improve your feel for cinematography. there is so much better fitting music / gear, to go with what you are doing. Skiing is one of the least gangster activities, trying to act like it is is just painful to watch.
i understand this is a generalization, and there are plenty of great park/urb skiers doing something different, but this sort of shit being the norm is just cringe.
that being said, the alternative to this does not mean jesper drip edits, with a mumford and sons song. this is also bad
i know imah piss a lot of old heads/ as well as the gen z off with this. but the gangster/baggy era was/is straight cringe, this shit needs to die
SteezyYeeterI for one love it when a ski area, oh I don't know, bans snowboarders. I'm not a park skier so this doesn't affect me, it's a very positive and enjoyable thing.

Michigan_SucksAlso, I could care less about a trick done on a small jump/going super slow into a rail. Hit something big and with speed pussy.

sindreplassenskiing is the wack thing in the park, you guys should be happy skiers are allowed in the park
chumbawumbathis is supposed to be hot takes, literally no one disagrees with u
SchizoSkierWatching videos of people just making turns in powder is fucking stupid.
also stop hating ppl like durham and votaw just cause they’re better and have more style than u 🤷🏽♂️
GourdI really don’t get this view. do you want the sport to die? I’m happy to have people growing the culture, no matter what’s on their feet.

BLandzWhy the fuck are dudes self conscious about skiing. I think snowboarding looks better if your just riding downhill but snowboard tricks are not that sick compared to ski tricks. Havent you ever watched the actual dope ski edits? If you think snowboarding is cooler its because u either got chirped or because you think society generally thinks its cooler but in reality the dope ski edits are way more sick than the dope snowboard edits and if you can prove it, post the edit showing that
LenntBeen thinking this. Skiing needs more gun violence, drug dealing, and pimpin.

snowfinderSkiing needs more characters and personas. Step on some toes fuck some shit up entertainment is key. So many pros now are interchangeable, don't believe me watch a big air comp maybe like 2 people stand out the rest robot wet blanket personalities.
