    I'm just waiting for someone who is overweight and hungover skiing on gear that's over their head to write a review so I can finally relate to something....bad knee wouldn't hurt either. Hook a brother up.

    I'm egregiously aggressive. But sometimes aggressively egregious.
    Move upside and let the man go through...

    Ha! It's easy to be extreme/aggressive/badass without depth perception.
    I'm just a simple girl trying to make my way in the universe...
    I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
    If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

    I call BS on Rontele's observation. think this through a bit. first of all, there are plenty of ski reviews here and on other forums that use terms like 'finesse skier' or synonyms. The reason 'aggressive' caught on years ago as a term is that it conveys the fact that the person writing the review is not a finesse, light-touch skier, but someone who thrashes down the mountain with some force... and the term 'aggressive' sidesteps the whole shitshow of the poster having to actually specify whether they are a good or a not-so-good skier in terms of overall technique.

    we've all known guys who are upper intermediates that ski aggressively, and therefore tend not to like softer skis. since the word 'aggressive' does not directly relate to good vs mediocre vs outstanding technique and skills, it works. like calling a red wine 'a red wine'. helps differentiate it from white wines -- but does not make any judgement on the quality of the red wine in question.

    what really makes me chuckle is how many reviews say 'ex-racer'. NASTAR? World Cup? Chinese Downhill? never specified. just 'ex-racer'.

    My co-workers keep calling me "The Butterfly" does that mean I am not aggressive? Or just pretty?

    Goldenboy is not an aggressive skier, he's a hotstepper. Believe that.
