Thread: Stupid new jib trend: No Gloves

Blurred, is it not a powder day?
Are you indoors or typing on your iphone one handed with no gloves, while driving a snowmobile???

When you stop and think about it, it's pretty much the same.

People do lots of dumb things for fun.....in fact, some of THE dumbest things ARE the most fun.

Crazy, right?

I tend to dress appropriate to the weather so as to avoid being cold all day. And there is more blood in your face. I'm pretty sure my fingers will go numb before my face, especially since I seem to have some symptoms of mild frostbite.
One time it was so warm, I just skied with the thumb/wrist grabber things that Orage puts in their jackets. Am I a gangster now?

well i for one have been learning how to manage my sluff. last month i got knocked off my feet twice by mini-slides

hahahhahah

Next we will read about a boarder hung up on a tree because his trucker-wallet chain got snagged on a branch!

Fixed it for you

FUCK.

not having gloves on:
does NOT progress skiing.
makes your hands cold.
makes your hands more likely to get hurt.
makes you look gay.

I have no idea why people are defending this with such a stupid reason as ski progression. Each to their own, let the yiberdy yo's lap the park if they want, but we can laugh at their 'steeze' all we want.

saw this multiple times the other weekend at Killington

not sure what was a better sighting, that or the guy with a one piece with Ross 4S?

A cold hand/hands can cause some problems like:

1. you may not be able to hold a joint and possibly drop it (that's very bad)
2. when you reach for your pecker to take a wiz you might get freezer burn.
3. when go to wipe your nose, the frozen shnot may cause your skin to fall off.

I'm sure there are many other problems that can arise but "Problem 1" concerns me the most.

Ah, the voice of reason. Safety first.

Maybe if you kept your glass pipe in your double boxers, it would stay warm so your frostbit fingers would warm up....
But if they are so low the cold air gets in your crack...maybe not

Could be a great scene for the next dumb and dumber, a park rat picks his nose and his frozen finger freezes... eh, maybe not.

Wear gloves. It's cool, it's warm

If you don't wear gloves you have nothing to wipe snot on.

"Perfectly designed landings"? you've clearly never seen to the park at LL

But park jumps scare me so much more than cliffs or cornices do. And i like skiing park from time to time, this year i have done it more than i would prefer due to the lack of snow in CO, but that does not mean i wont still make fun of some of the park rats

sweet jeebus, some of you have some serious reading comprehension issues. it's already been pointed out in this thread that the no-glove steezers are rocking LONG SLEEVES that completely cover their hands and keep them plenty warm.

snowboarding represents less than 1% of my on-snow riding days, but even i'm aware that some snowboarders figured out a while ago that they can ride w/ no gloves and keep their hands closed off in the jacket sleeves..then pop 'em out when they want to find that one porn vid on their iphone. so it's not surprising that some park skiers are also rocking this look.

does it make total sense? not really -- but who cares? just wear what you want and stop wasting energy worrying about what others are wearing.

i wish someone had video of below zero dropping king's cornice at the a-basin mini 4-5 years ago. that fully deserves to get posted in this thread.

no gloves is strictly gary without question.

but hey, gary gets after it....

GARRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I'm feeling so rad, I ski the park without wearing a condom.

See you at SIA.

why the fuck does anyone care what these kids are doing? i for one am comfortable in my norrona goretex and primaloft mittens (they sare so f'ing toasty), but if they want frostbite why do any of you care? seriously, why?

I can't tell you how many cuts we've seen this year from the brilliance of grabbing edges with no gloves. Keep it up!!

I was totally rocking the no gloves look in october. Of course it was prolly 60 degrees outside and was boarding in a short sleeved shirt as well.

Who gives a shit.

Classic.

this trend has been caused by a shortage of Shocker Gloves.
