Thread: Steven J Popovich 11/12

I'm a single planker, but that was 100% WOW. I'm liking that terrain...

Sled access? terrain is super duper.

I have to say that I found this to be excellent!

Spook, you can go fuck yourself. When did you take it upon yourself to cunt up every thread around here?

Fuck anyone who shit's on good stoke.

every thread, huh? you sound like a drama queen. i'm not shitting on stoke, nimrod. i'm shitting on an overused technique. i'll take stills and outside perspective over looking at someone's ski tips any day. i liked the rest of it. sick of pov. get over it.

Nice work Steve. Especially like that straightline next to top notch.

That kicked ass. I almost skipped watching it based on Spooks comments. Spook you need to pick your battles more carefully. That is some ballsy skiing. Straight lines and back flips galore.

Another vote for watching this. That level of speed and exposure around skin-flaying MT shark teeth is intense, especially from the POV.

Spook, society functions by self-regulating the assholes at all scales. You should try to find some of us OR skiers and readjust to the fact that you're dissing people you might need a little kindness from at some point.

The last 2 straightlines are insane. That's some high-consequence terrain, especially the last line.

That being said, I'd like the edit more if it showed you making some sweet turns. We know you can huck, jib and straightline, but it's not apparent whether you're a good skier technically. Add a bit more of that and it would round out the picture. Any yahoo with strength, balance and testicles can huck and straightline...

nice fucking vid. I thought this was a summer troll thing, I'm so happy to watch a nicely mixed bag of skiing instead. Those long straight lines at the end are teh awesome!

edit to add:
Spook, why don't you make a better video rather than whining about the best fucking thing to get posted in weeks? That shit is pure stoke!

Cool stuff. Great skiing. From a viewer standpoint watching the same line wide angle that I just saw POV (or vice-versa) gets boring. Some of the time I didn't mind, like the last one, but keep that to a minimum.

I have to admit I didn't. I can't watch vids on my work PC (which is where I most look at TGR) but I make note of well rated video to watch at home. When Spook said he couldn't stand POV, I just agreed in principle and decided not to watch. I still agree with that principle but apologies for sounding critical of something I hadn't watched. I will watch it at home tomorrow.

first, if you skip it based on someone else's opinion, that's your problem. second, i didn't pick a battle, i merely expressed an opinion. once again, the groupthink minions shit themselves.

Seriously, what do you like?

I don't think I could post a thread in Tech Talk about how great chunky peanut butter is without you cunting it up. "Peanut Butter, the official spread of the American sheeple"

JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP

tell me where i dissed anybody, mark. i said i don't like pov. i didn't say, holy fuck, why on earth would anybody record that shitty skiing did i. i'm quite aware of how society works. and if i have to have the same opinion as everybody else, i'll do without it just fine. i have all the friends i need. they just don't happen to be skiers. you take this place way too seriously if you think this is a representative sample of society. unless you mean the egomaniacal juvenile chauvinist bullshit sector. i've made note of plenty of reasonable and interesting people here. unfortunately, they are largely drowned out by bullshit.

having read thousands of obnoxious posts here in 5+ years, i had no idea there was this undercurrent of hypersensitivity to somebody's opinion.

i've commented on many things i like many many times here.

no offense, but i think miracle whip is the official spread of the american sheeple and honestly, i think all you folks who are so outraged by my distaste for pov are the ones who are "cunting" up this thread. seriously.

Most of the people saying more or better turns probably couldn't place 1 nor 100 turns down most of that stuff. Sickter lines-I approve of this message and skiing.

take it easy, spook. maybe stop talking for a while.

4:10 is nuts!

You eat meat, right?

That made me laugh!

yeah that was rad!

you rip!

Spook, you said your bit, let it be.

At 3:39 I was like this guys brave, big cornice. Then big face. Fuck. But then I was like, what a pussy at 4:00 when he traversed skiers right off that shipstern. Now that would have been badass. Dudes gunna have to go back and make it right.

/Just jokes. I couldn't even bring myself to look over a cornice like that.

The line at 4:36 was worth rewinding multiple times.

Great skiing!

eh, anyone can doctor a video these days to make themselves look good. How do we even know if this is the real Steven J Popovich?

^^^^^^^^how do we even know if we are alive, dead, or living in the same world as those that we think we see all around us? did i really die in my big avalanche accident, or am i really alive?

think about it......................
