Yeah, I can't wait to see you guys light me up for this one.

Wolves?

Insecure holsters?

High speed slarving?

Forum fonts?

Parking lot micturation?

Edit: Lack of US market manual tranny, turbo diesel, euro wagons.....?

I can't believe I wasted 2 minutes reading that.

[spook]

hasn't that article been written about ten billion times?

[Hugh Conway]

too many people trying to "live the dream" who don't have anything to contribute.


eesh man, unofficialurinalcakes died because their content blew. yer just rehashing the same stale stokeless bullshit.

[JeffreyJim]

Perfect. Keep it coming.

Thanks for your two cents but I'm fairly certain that attributing athletic progression to technological advancement isn't the type of thing that lead Unofficial to "dying" (hint: They crush us)

Not trying to be like Unofficial, not even a little bit, but trying to get people to talk ideas, instead of merely people and events is the real "point" of these writings.

Now, I'm not a real writer. I'm just a dude. But I do like hearing people's thoughts on shit. Even if it is pointless. (its summer right?!)

All in good fun.

Yeah, honestly, I don't need/want skiing opinion pieces from you guys. I come here if I want that, hah! Stick to skiing stoke (not the stupid shit unofficial has been posting the last month or so), gear reviews, and solid factual reporting on major events in the skiing world (of the PCMR shitshow level).

Appreciate the feedback. And in a perfect world, we'd do just that being these pieces are far more risky for us.

But the traffic from stoke, news and gear reviews compared to opinion based stuff suggests otherwise....

Again, all in good fun. Man. I wanted more yelling at me and jokes. Less seriousness.

skiing's biggest problem is shitty ski movies using slo-mo and go-pro

[spook]

oh and shots with the heli below the skier.

[jonesy]

Your skis look nothing like this. The fuck they didn't.

[JeffreyJim]

^^^ That shot is so rad.

No - they pull content out of their ass to fill space on their website. That's what this story is. And if you are benchmarking them, yer part of the problem, the only people who give two shits about them are the messageboard surfing bro's starved for content and desiring to read anything and everything about skiing and who give two shits about the garbage.

Soundth weally scawy.

....and not enough resorts connected together by chair lifts.

What you are failing to understand is that most sports have a mental aspect that links to fear. You fear the unknown, once you see people do something, its known, you loose fear. Most athletic/coordinated Males think they can do anything that anyone else can do. Once its been done you have a huge population waiting to imitate and if its been done its possible.

Look at the skateboard big air, it was stunt, then a top pro move, now 12 year olds do it. Skateboards haven't changed.


BTW fuck Unofficial, SNOWBRAINS !!

[Johnny Deep]

^^^^

Point.

This is an awesome point. And really what I was hoping to get out of this.

One way to look at it is to look at guys like Seth. Technological innovation aside, he put down some of the nastiest lines pre "rocker revolution". Lines that still would hold their own. So yeah, you just blew me up.

bad quality gpros

Man, I used to have some respect for you, but this spamming of your blog is pretty bad. Will not click.

Thanks again for your feedback Hugh. Its much appreciated.

Your choice! Thanks for the bump though!

Skiing biggest problem? Skiing doesn't have a problem. Skiing is fine.

Regarding your article, I quite like fat skis, skinny-light skis, 18-din looks, pintech race Plums, carbon boots and fly-looking goggles.
