Can we just get them to stop stooping over, for no reason, with their hands at their ankles? Looks dumber than neon one-piece on a monoboard.

I find it odd that there's a few of you with such disdain for jibbing. Jibbing is the forefront of progression of the sport of skiing. You can mock the jibbers all you want, but every late teenager talks like that. Jibbers have done wonders for the sport. They progress things and are not snowboarding!

And yes, I sanded the crap out of my Enemys to get rid of the edge. It's much easier to land a bit off balance and rail slide if you get rid of the edges.

And James Brown is THE MAN!

Okay, I think I understand then. So jibbers saved the sport and Canadian Pussy is sweet.
Shit, unless that's some fucked molson-induced slur like "aboot" - what the fuck am I to believe anyways? I wish the LaBatts bear would just maul me and get it over with.

Hey BradyCU,
Guess what man, I'm only 21 and I ski with kids who ride park and stuff too. I already own a pair of 90mm Jib sticks (Scratch BC's). You obviously missed the point of my post. I wasn't saying that all jibbers are mindless morons like these two kids were, but just making fun of the ones who are. I do think that our sport needs some saving though. It needs to come back into focus. Too many kids are focusing on tricks and shit and not taking the time to actually ski. Yeah, I can ride some park, but I can also ski a 45 degree slope, throw down a race carve and hit the bumps as well. All I'm trying to say is that there is a lot less younger kids actually ripping the steeps anymore. Most of them are being parkrats and doing nothing but jibbing. Yes, I think that jibbing did pull us out of the 90's period, but it was all done by guys like JP Auclair, Shane Szocs, Mike Douglas that can actually rip big stuff and are now bringing it to the big mountains, which I think is cool and necessary for progression.

Storm:
I'm really drunk right now, since Ist's one 23 in the morining and I have to ski in 7 hours, but your post is totaly true, I agree with it ubt I have no Idea exactly what you said, I'll read it again tommorow night and agreea again, just you wait! Jibbers are sick but I agree that they need more tere/steeps work, I'll work on it, Leadin the way to a jib revolution, in a new secne, kinda, I shold gg to bed.

Brady

Why does it matter how they approach a table when throwing down a dialed air? I'm not sure If I understand your gripe. I honestly don't see much wrong with this stance when hitting jumps. Guys that started this funky stance can clearly ski outside of the park. Check out Sessions 1242.

snowboarding saved skiing. jibbing did not.

you are a dolt for sanding your edges. why don't you guys save yourself some cash in the long run and buy some rollerblades. no poles too! way easier.

approaching a jump like a retarded monkey furthers the argument that jibbers don't really want to be skiing. if you are only concerned with what you do in the air and on the rail to the extent that you go out of your way to make your skis useless otherwise and don't care that you look like a gaper on rentals when your skis are actually in contact with the snow, you should sell your shit, drive south, buy some rollerblades and hang out in a skate park. no lift tickets to buy and no snow to get you all wet and stuff. lookout for the skaters though, they love to beat up fruitbooters!

Maybe I can help you understand--two guys I'm watching get off a few chairs ahead of me last week, jizz rags flapping out, immediately drop down into 'monkey-see' pose as they start heading down.
Throwing down a dialed air? I don't think so.
Now that the jibbers have 'saved skiing', who's going to save us from them?

**Dexter Rutecki** · 02-07-2004, 11:55 AM

And yeah, sanding down your edges is retarded. If you can't turn, you can't ski.

**repeat** · 02-07-2004, 12:11 PM

Of course sanding edges is dumb. But, next time your up by the terrain park take a look at the conditions. When a powder day comes around, all the guys you see in the park will be out ripping the steeps. I was at squaw last spring when there was hardly any snow at all and the park was packed with kids throwing crazy tricks. In the next two days it snowed 3 and a half feet. I saw the same kids, many even on the same skis tearing it up on the slopes. Not only were they hucking huge cliffs, but they were making the most difficult lines look smoothe. Most of those kids are locals and can really rip. Also, does it really matter how you aproach a jump? It may not technically be good skiing, but the park is more about syle then good skiing. And from what i've seen most good park skiers are very technical when skiing the steeps. Maybe late season squaw is an exception, but I was impressed.

last i checked they were one and the same.

i agree - it is real cool to see folks dominate everywhere. most people have one pair of skis - if you are sanding your edges so they won't snag on a rail or lip, it is going to be pretty tough to ski anything else.

maybe that is why you saw all the park rats out on the rest of the hill on powder days - cause they sanded the edges off their sticks and they're only good for rails and powder.

It's certainly turned that way.

**Unorthodox** · 02-07-2004, 08:25 PM

I was skiing with some younger kids in the park the other day ( I am 21 and they were all about 16) and it was pretty good time. They even kind of laughed at the whole "steeze rag" and "gorrilla steeze things." Then they all lined up and went one after another on a hit throwing nothing but twister twister spreads.

These kids also told me that later in the season they plan on getting all gangsta'd out with fake ice, steeze rags, and all kinds of other stuff and hitting the park all day. The only catch: they will throw nothing but twisters, spreads, daffy's, and back scratchers.

After seeing the fartbags that Jon Olson and Tanner Hall were wearing at the X Games I guess skiing has come full circle fashion wise. Is new school so new that it is old? Let that one marinate.

**BudaMonster** · 02-07-2004, 11:58 PM

I live in Michigan, so except for the one week when I go out west, im usually skiing a shitty ass landfill with 300 vertical or im skiing up north at Boyne. So basically I have resorted to skiing the parks unless there is some nice powder (which is extremely rare in southeast Michigan). However, considering my situation, I have yet to slide a single rail. I cant seem to bring myself to possibly fucking up my skis and busting my nuts trying to "rage." And I really think that this new fashion thats being sported now looks really fucking gay. Seriously, did anyone think that the fir collared powder suit that Jon Olsen was wearing looked cool? And all of the orange camo shit. Wow it looks so bad. Well I hope all you hardcore dudes out there that get to go out and shred amazing terrain every day are thankful. Not everyone is as lucky as you. Hopefully some day I can move out west and live the good life too.

**iceman** · 02-08-2004, 12:01 AM

I'm totally bummed I missed your first two posts, dude.

Dude I'm not a jibber. I was just agreeing that Canadian women are sweet.
