sindreplassenI have probably seen more ski edits than most people on this site lmao, I hope you realize that most dope skiers are heavily influenced by snowboarding, like where do you you think bdog got his presses or nollies from? Or the afterbang?. if you really think skiing looks cooler than snowboarding I don’t think you have watched enough, or the right boarders tbh
No man all my homies I ride with are snowboarders I know who Blake Lamb and the Dustbox crew and Benny Milam and all the sick dudes are. Havent you watched Andy Partridge, Jake Carney, Magnus Barbo, Mango edits before?? If you think snowboarding is cooler thats fine, thats a personal opinion but if you think park skiing is wack thats because youve been told to think that.
And you can't make the argument that skiers "got the tricks from snowboarders". Sure they got inspo no doubt, but skiers have gotten tricks before snowboarders in the past and the reason why nobody claims they got inspo from skiers is because their programmed to think they're cooler than us so they would never claim that.
fghtoffyrdmns1000 skis is incredible fucking whack and has almost ruined the legacy of the bunch and hackels tik tok cringe posts make me want to end it all
PsychicMigrationTo create a ski area thats for skiers and to boot snowboarders out is very different and realistically it would need some serious evidence and documentation to pull off. Theres pros and cons but the truth is having both as an option is great.
I'm not suggesting that someone should make a resort that bans snowboarders, or a current one should enact a policy that would ban them, I know that is unreasonable and wouldn't work. Just me personally I appreciate it when there aren't boarders on the hill.
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

you're a pretty disgusting person for saying that. i know that you don't know jack shit about history, but at one time, there were nazis, who committed horrible atrocities and did unspeakable things to millions of people. to insinuate that any member of this board is a nazi is to spit on the graves of all the people who died in the holocaust, it's really making a mockery of the word.

a man of culture respect
no, skiers haven’t gotten all their tricks from snowboarders, but snowboarders made a huge impact on a lot of the skiers that I look at as dope at least, stept for example, started hitting big stuff because they saw Lucas magoon and the technine dudes do it. One of the godfathers of style Michael deshenaux only rode with boarders and that is where he got his inspo from. and yes i have seen all the guys you mentioned above, I used to watch oli’s pc edits with Andyp and mango all the time and ap’s segment in zootspace is probably my fave from last year. I have literally seen magnus ski irl plenty of times and his stuff with eppern is sick, I have also played Jake,s sw7 tail to safety to the parking lot on repeat a thousand times. skiing is sick as hell dude no doubt

Ur arguing with a kid who had probably watched more edits than anyone else in the world (pretty sure he runs steezyskiing on IG).
Either way ur absolutely right about the society telling you snowboarding is cooler. I ride with boarders too, I was at Loveland pass yesterday where it was 75% boarders and they were getting hyped at everything we were throwing just like we were getting hyped about what they were doing. If a trick is a cool it’s cool, doesn’t matter wtf ur riding. If snowboarding itself was cooler then simply owning a snowboard would make you sick, which as we all know just isn’t fuckin true at all lol
@sindreplassen Also why tf should I be greatful for snowboarders letting me in the park, should I get mad when snowboarders hit groomers, backcountry, moguls, and all that stuff? Obviously not that’s whack as fuck. It’s 2022 that beef is dead, I understand where it comes from but when the people building the parks nowadays are both skiers and boarders that shit just makes no fuckin sense sorry

We should collectively create a concentration camp for cringe skiers. That isn't Nazism, thats progress baby.
Urban skiing has much higher risks which causes many skiers to stay away from it and going big in urban is extremely impressive in my opinion. the fact that if you fall hard on a urban rail your probably gonna get hurt from the rail it’s self and having the concrete there makes it so much worse. And hours of work to make a lip with high chances of being kicked out make it even more impressive. Having that much dedication to skiing makes me want to watch an edit and really appreciate it. I think Urban is just a different type of park skiing.
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.
I agree making turns in powder is just showing off where you are to everyone who doesn’t have the opportunity to ski powder
from an east coast skier it looks like your just showing off what we don’t have
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 🤷🏽♂️
fghtoffyrdmns1000 skis is incredible fucking whack and has almost ruined the legacy of the bunch and hackels tik tok cringe posts make me want to end it all
Bro they're s u s t a i n a b l e bro
I give em 2 years max.
Also skiing needs to be more exclusive fuck all this inclusivity bullshit. There's only so many ski areas and roads to em.
Is it really even a hot take? Wear a fucking helmet too. That MIPS tech is going to make a difference. Seriously. Head injuries really do fucking suck and it's a difference being able to live a normal life or not.

way back in the day skiers weren't allowed in the park at my home mountain, this is a long time ago but it made us respect the boarders, for letting skiers ride there you know? there was also a rope tow park where I lived ran by snowboarders, mainly for their boarder homies, but they let me and my friends ski there, which I am very thankful for because they could've easily just had it open for snowboarders. by skiing is "the wack thing in the park" I meant all the families and people that don't care about others in the park, if I didn´t make myself clear lol. the park at my home resort is packed of little ski kids and karen parents that doesn't give a shit about park rules or respecting others. my friend literally almost chopped of some dudes head because they had lunch behind the takeoff. the snowboarders gave their "private" park away to ski tourists and people that shouldn't be there in the first place. I guess this isn't the case at all mountains tho
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.

snowmosexualThe only thing im hating on is the prices on B/S/T on here
yeah my hot take is snow.share is contributing to both killing NS B/S/T and raising the prices here... you used to have to be in the scene to buy or sell stuff and it was always at homie prices because of that. friends were made, etc. now you just need to follow an instagram page and not even know what it is youre selling
