Durham Clones

Are you one of them?? Have you noticed them??

50% of kids in the park now (at least in Vermont) resemble Durham. Small jacket tightened at the waist, giant pants, often goggles over the helm.

My thoughts?: it’s funny as fuck

Brule.Every time I’ve gone to Killington this year the number of kids looking like Durham Jones goes up every time. Willing to bet $20 that this stemmed from yesterday and the amount of Durham clones that were out in full force on Mouse Run.


I prefer to see them ski by and refer to each one as “Discount Durham” but I just laugh and mind my business for the most part.


I can confirm was up there Friday and Saturday and bro 😭

asparagusI find quebec’s pretty traditional when it comes to park style. Most guys I see still go baggy and goggles under. Only thing that might’ve died are kid poles.


we may be frenchies but we know how to look good in the park

You are correct in assuming that this stemmed from mouse Run. I got home for winter break and haven’t even been in the park all day but wow it’s fucking crazy how many clones there are. I had to make this thread it was so in your face and straight obvious. I don’t care what people/kids wear but wow was it fucking crazy and funny.

Hold on this guy only has 4k followers you guys are making it sound like he’s some huge social media guy there’s no way these kids are all copying him lol. Whoever above said it’s more a combination of trends that he just happens to follow is probably right.

I don’t know much about followers but if I had to guess I’d say people in your community/peer group are the first to follow you. For instance, kids in your area around your age that do the same activities as you.

I know you are it was a joke haha (keep giving tides business they deserve it)

No, you love the attention skiing brings you. Big difference. You fucking youtube/insta skiers are all the same. Craving for attention with a bunch of fake stoke bullshit.

Filming is part of the sport. Whether you like or not, this entire sport, history and culture revolves around media. Whether it’s pics in magazines, full length movies, or insta reels. Call it attention seeking if you want but it’s literally the foundation of freeskiing lol

Good for them but that doesn't discredit anyone who does post their footage. We all film, there's nothing wrong with trying to get more people to watch ur skiing if that's what you want, that's part of the process if that's the path you choose.

Yeah man, I'm CRAVING for people to hit my subscribe button!

Fuck off back to snapchat, you pathetic, smartphone-addicted retards. You know your shit is fucked when your only response is, "OH YEAH? POST SOMETHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!"

You corrupted morons cannot go a single chairlift ride without whipping out your iphone. SAD.

If you reframe the perspective a bit, it’s kinda sick to have an entire thread acknowledging how far your influence reaches. If this shit was ab me I’d take it as a compliment, your skiing and technical ability is off the hook and imo this kind of attention just supports that. Keep doin yo shit!
