So from these arguments, I learned that skiers: 1. See behind their back 2. Have brakes 3. Are slow 4. Don't hurt people when they hit them 5. Don't drink alcohol
The snowboard does not need a brake, because it is never fully detached. A snowboarder is always strapped to the board with at least one leg, e.g. on a lift. It's easier to meet lost sled on slope, than snowboard. Why sleds doesn't have brakes? The skis must have a brake, because they unlock themselves when you fall to save your legs, and then they become bullets.
@@foobaz2387 I’ll explain the joke to you. The old man was complaining about snowboards having no brakes, but my joke was pretty much calling him a retard for thinking skis have brakes.

I started snowboarding in 1987 and only a few resorts in Utah would allow it. Power Mountain was very accomidative to snowboarders so half the people on the mountain were snowboarding...but they required us to take a test to prove we could snowboard safely and I had to carry an special snowboarding ID card with me. It's funny looking back. But within a few years nearly every resort opened up to snowboarding. Those were fun times. I was 16 and felt like a rebel doing something the grumpy old people didn't approve of.
I like how he said they were "being uncooperative" - I mean, you're telling them to stop and leave... You wouldn't be having the conversation if they were "cooperative" with your uncompromising position they shouldn't exist lol
To be fair. It's his job to make them not use their snowboards. So of course they don't want a compromise with the snowboarders, they just want them to stop so they don't have to bother with "extra work" on their job.
This is hilarious, it's incredible that this was a controversy at one point. Also, I love that they're calling them missiles and dangerous when all the boarders they showed were barely moving and barely able to stand up
THEY'RE MISSLES! says local man with two spears strapped to his boots. Burton wisely got rid of that bullet shape though. If you want to see who won just take a look at shaped skis now.
Yeah, and it's like that most of the time, if u can't snowboard right most likely before catching dangerous speeds u'll catch an edge and fall, while on skiis u can way more easily get a lot of speed without turning and not fall
This is the 80's, the real 80's. You should of heard the hoopla over CCTV's and multiculturalism... The only people that owned computers were businessmen and nerds. The only people that had tattoos were military, heavy metal musicians, and criminals (and wh0res).
@@ACESandElGHTS not trying to start an argument or anything but surprisingly, shaped skis were developed almost entirely separate from the influence of snowboarding. This video actually shows why, no ski companies wanted to listen to snowboarders. Elan introduced true side cut skis in the 90s, and changed racing forever. These were developed in Norway where artisans and craftsmen have been experimenting with ski shape and design for well over a hundred years. In the early 2000s, Shane McConkey developed the Volant Spatula which was the first true freestyle powder ski. This was the first ski to include reverse side cut, tip and tail rocker, twin tips, and a decambered profile. McConkey thought of all these innovations almost entirely on his own, an exception being that Scott Gaffney gave him the idea for a decambered ski. One of the only true innovations that snowboarding influenced was the Atomic Powderfat in 1988 (production name was the Powder Plus). The Powderfat was essentially an atomic snowboard that was cut in half and then made into a functioning pair of skis. However this did not catch on and was relatively forgotten about. So well snowboarding certainly didn’t detract from ski shape evolution, it also had a very minimal effect on it. The true effect of snowboarding was getting more people into freestyle skiing and to adopt a more relaxed approach to the sport. The effect snowboarding had on skiing culture, outside of ski design and technology, is absolutely immense. There’s a reason a lot of us freestyle skiers joke that snowboarding is the best the to ever happen to skiing 😂. Anyways if you read this whole history lesson I definitely appreciate it, as I’ll take any excuse to nerd out about skiing history 😂
I really love americans , the most friendly ppl i've met. But this cultural phenomena to make up some crazy propagandistic things to trash something you don't like is crazy. They do it in a polite way though ^^
My father served in the great skier/snowboarder war of 1985. He once said "We lost a lot of good men on those slopes." Other than that he never spoke of it. After he died I found some of his old lift tickets in a trunk in the attic. Never knew he was a decorated hero. Thank you for your service, gents. War is hell.
My friend had a ski that came off without breaks and it went down the mountain several hundred meters because the breaks didnt engage. I've also seen it in some other places. Luckily, the slopes in question were challenging, so there were very few people on them, and no one was hurt, but it took like 10 minutes to find the ski as it went into a creek. I use telemark skis, so I don't have to worry about that. I simply have leashes, and they can't go anywhere.
@@soldandroad Yes, they don't have exactly brakes. But there are special "antennae" that when you put them on a slope, they will not go fast but will stuck, unlike a snowboard which, if you put it on a slope, will go very long and fast. Just a fact. I snowboard myself. Of course, if you put the snowboard correctly upside down, then it will not go. But it's more about when it slips out of someone by accident.
@Viktoria wow so you're one of those snowboarders lipping people off, huh? And yes, as I said, skiis don't have brakes. They have antennas. I know whenever I need to stop my car, I wag my antenna a few times, and it magically stops. Yeah Victoria...antennas lmao 🤣 have fun, and stay safe on the slopes, thanks for the detailed response!
I haven't been snowboarding in a long time, but this definitely nailed it. Growing up, the skiers were generally the entitled, wealthy, snobs and the snowboarders were stoners, skaters, and just generally lower and middle class people. It wasn't 100% like this, but by and large it was.
@@salazam For real. Add in the cost of gear, transportation, etc. and it's one of the more expensive activities. Hockey is similar, unless you live somewhere that has frozen ponds in the winter.

This sort of discrimination has been going on for decades, I remember being so nervous coming out to my parents when I was 16 as a snowboarder, they were surprised but thankfully very supportive
White elitists don’t want others to play. Probably because then they can’t feel superior anymore because the rest of the world finds it they actually suck at their own sports 😂 It has been that way with soccer, hockey, golf, baseball and many more sports. “We don’t want young kids and non whites and women here!”
Yup thats my Uncle, he started drinking heavily around the time that snowboarding was in the 1998 Olympics... These days he mostly just sits with a bottle of rum and tells old ski stories even though he cant ski anymore since his collision with a snowboarder in Banff
I was a part of the skier vs. snowboarder wars back in the 80's and early 90's and by the time we won independence and were recognized as citizens we had lost a lot of good men. Our entire elite "Smart Aleck" team 6 was completely wiped out before we signed our truce.
Just like those other fads of tattoos, piercings, and skateboards, they will slip into obscurity until no one remembers what in the hell any of them even are.
ski brakes are the things on the skiis where if you snap your boots onto the ski they come up, and come down like a couple of kickstands when theyre unsnapped. so the guy was talking about the possibility of snowboards without a rider going down the hill and slamming into someones shin or calf.
Well, to be fair, new snowboarders are the worst people on the mountain. They are falling more often (and more abruptly), and they tend to sit down a lot... usually at busy junctions where lots of people are trying to pass through. I can imagine that when snowboarding first started out, everyone was a beginner, and all of them were just on the floor most of the time (the video actually seems to support this). I can imagine how a mountain with mostly stable skiiers would reject this.
I came here to refute you're statement, but you are completely spot on. Occasionally I will try explaining to the people sitting on the other side of a gnoll that they should move. Most get it, with a few telling me to fuck off because they can do what they want. Which is fine. They can get hit by someone else that's going 30 mph on that stretch who wasn't able to narrowly avoid them that time.
Nick Ross and skiers got it their first time eh? No, you also fell flat on your ass, or front, or side many many many bloody times and to guys like me who jump off their lift with boards strapped on and spray 8 feet of snow every turn you guys were also pain in the ass noobs.
Well I can honestly say I never had a drink while skiing. Aside from that one time that is and the time before that and all the times before that and in 3 weeks when I'm at crystal mountain. But those fewish times that's it!
Only boarders and skaters drink, and lip off, look at that music they all listen to, and those tattoos, and mohawks, dead giveaway they're only out to do bad... lol... too bad those bone heads all had posters of glen plake and Scott schmidt on their office walls, but never looked at them when talking about us...lol!
They aren’t talking about breaks for when the person isn’t on the skis, when you step into a ski binding the breaks retract and when the binding is disengaged the breaks are applied, stopping runaway skis
I used to ski before I tried snowboarding and fell in love with it. My dad used to be a ski instructor back in the day, so I think he was a little disappointed at first, but let's be real, it wasn't the first time I disappointed my pops
Mustache: "They don't see our point, they only see their own point" Interviewer: "Do you see any compromise in the future?" Mustache: "No... We don't want them at all" God I love me a good ol' fashioned hypocrite
"They don't see our point, they only see their own point, and it's sort of ah tunnel vision of a sort." Good to see confession through projection, and lack of self awareness aren't new things.
I can only speak for Europe, but whilst snowboarding really did “take off” during the late 80s and remained highly popular ever since, it appears to have tailed off a bit over the last 4-5 years. I ski in the Alps several times each season, have done for 20 years, and although still popular, the proportion of boarders to skiers has definitely noticeably dropped compared with a couple of years ago. Maybe it was partly driven by a certain cool and youthful image which by its very nature tends to be transient.
D. Feliciano how were these the millennials? Millennials would be the snowboarders, trying something new. The skiers would be the older generation, afraid and against the new/unknown.
Lived this. Been boarding for 30+ years. I remember when my local resorts started allowing snowboarding for the first time. We had to demonstrate to ski patrol on the bunny hill that we could turn-right, left and stop. Then we would get our “ski-boarder” card which would allow us to get a lift ticket.
Makes sense. I made the mistake of getting to the top of a ski hill my first time snowboarding, only to find out I couldn't turn. I was aggressively competent at stopping though. I think it must've taken an hour to get down
Ha. Same. I remember that there was 1 hill within 500km that allowed it. We'd go there once in awhile... but mostly it was finding our own hills and building jumps. When some of the hills slowly let snowboarders on I remember the verbal abuse being thrown our way from skiers. I was a punk, skateboarder kid... so I kind of leaned into it.
This is SO Funny! I could be wrong but it looks like snow boarding is a way more popular downhill activity these days and ski mountains are fighting tooth and nail for their business. I remember being an avid skier between 1976 - 1990, mostly on the east coast, and I remember how amazed I was seeing these 1st snowboarders bombing down the slopes! I was an OK skier, but i was probably more of a menace to other skiers back then than any snow boarder...haha!

I remember being a kid in Canada in the 90s, my parents telling me to quit snowboarding and go back to skiiing. "What are you going to do when you're an adult, snowboard? Dont be ridiculous. What if you're with your co-workers, no one will respect you."
I honestly can't figure out how some idiot can't see that tying one thing to each foot and tying one thing to both feet to slide down a snowy hill is the same shit.
I'm old fashioned. I use ole' drum brakes. My vegan cousin keeps telling me "oh, go electric, the you get regen brakes and they're more powerful yada yada yada!". She also talks about self boarding hands free snow boards. What's next? Some kind of, pneumatic air brake!?! Ha! Give me a 'brake!
You guys realize he is talking about the sticks that go down in the snow when you disconnect the boots from the ski right?? It is to stop the skis from running down the mountain by themselves when you fall.

Funny this. Have been skiing for 48 years, my sister made the move to snowboarding mid 90's. Can't remember any slopes that forbade snowboarders (Europe). Not fond of beginners because they tend to scrape the snow of the piste but very grateful helping to get the carve ski's and all the other modern ski's developed. It was pretty darn hard to turn on 7 ft very straight ski's I can tell you.
Actually, what I've noticed as someone who rode a snowboard actively 2000-2006 and now just picked up the sport again, at least in the park you see more skiers nowadays than back in the day. I guess it comes and goes just like anything. The same with skateboarding, it went away for a while and then came back in to main stream popularity again.
"I already banned them from the chair lifts and told them they can walk up the mountain. I even asked them nicely to get the hell off my mountain. Not sure why they're so angry at me. What am I doing wrong?" -Paraphrases of a mustache man
Thanks to this old man I've been making a fool of myself since 1985. Whenever I go to buy or rent a snowboard I ask for the kind with brakes. I leave the shop insulted and decide to just go get drunk and lippy with skiers.
It's honestly the exact same beef. The skiers didn't like the new snowboard crowd and tried to stop them but now snowboarding is just as popular as skiing, at least in my area. Just replace skiers with skateboarders and scooters with snowboarders and you have the situation at skateparks
@@nwmaxbuilds8740 The problem is when you learn to skate it can be tough and you weren't just rolling around a skatepark. Almost any kid can ride a scooter so they can easily ride around getting in the way, without actually using the park.
No because scooters are not new. They sucked when I was a kid and they still do today. And they are like mf missiles bro. They just see their point and not mine!
The problem is the parents drop their scooter riding kids off at skateparks like it was a free baby sitting area and the kids tend to sit in the middle skating areas

They would be able to see more if common method of descending a slope would be a straight line. But it's not. You "slalom". And the moment your back faces hill up it's near impossible to be aware of what's above you.
I both ski and snowboard, and visibility isn't worse, it's just different. "backwards" isn't necessarily uphill. On a snowboard you can see up and down the slope, but not the slope that's behind you. I have boarders pull out infront of me just as much as skiers, not looking what's coming before they make a move. I've also had learners going edge to edge on the piste consistently only to switch it up and throw a surprise turn in last second. So focused on what they're doing they don't consider allowing some space for people trying to pass. Doesn't matter what you ride, the rules are the same: You must stay out of the way of people below you, and try not to cut across people above you. The amount of accidents you see where someone takes a hard turn without checking over their shoulder, or just carry on even though they're on a collision course and have "right of way". Not crashing isn't one persons responsibility, it's a team effort.
@@conrad7829 The code states that you are responsible for those in front of you. Not behind you. It is for the people behind you to watch and be weary of you. By the way, the code, in many states, is actually STATE LAW. You should try reading them.
My friend was snowboarding and he broke his collar bone when two novice skiers crashed into him. It's not what you ride, it's how you ride it. Stay sharp everyone.
To be fair, maybe he's talking about when skis pop off. Bindings do have brakes that automatically engage when the ski boot disengages from it so the ski can't just zip its way down the hill.
Tyler McDonald they showed a guy with straps on board and yes they had straps on some. They were like old ski boot latches before ratchets were invented.
My dad was a snowboarder and what I seen him go through still haunts me. I get bad grades, we live in poverty and we been a victim of bias on the slopes. My mom was a skier and her family disowned her. Just yesterday a cop pulled me over and seen my snow board and asked me, "you going SKIING?". Snow boarding is still hated to this day but the mainstream says it excepted.
I remember snowboarders when they first started showing up at our local ski area.....I thought they were ruining skiing ....a few years went by and the boarders got much better....I changed my mind about boarders because I realized how snooty skiers are and how they treat beginning skiers...Then I felt like an ass for ever judging snowboarders
As a Snowboarder myself and of 37 years of age, looking back on what it was to be a Snowboarder back then meant GenX counter culture mentality against the baby boomers, so with that said, back in those days there was a bit of a punk ego at times that was used to stereotype the new up and coming sport and its riders... to see how prolific and amazing it has become now has made me truly happy!

Yeah, and it's like that most of the time, if u can't snowboard right most likely before catching dangerous speeds u'll catch an edge and fall, while on skiis u can way more easily get a lot of speed without turning and not fall

The only people that owned computers were businessmen and nerds. The only people that had tattoos were military, heavy metal musicians, and criminals (and wh0res).
@@ACESandElGHTS not trying to start an argument or anything but surprisingly, shaped skis were developed almost entirely separate from the influence of snowboarding. This video actually shows why, no ski companies wanted to listen to snowboarders. Elan introduced true side cut skis in the 90s, and changed racing forever. These were developed in Norway where artisans and craftsmen have been experimenting with ski shape and design for well over a hundred years. In the early 2000s, Shane McConkey developed the Volant Spatula which was the first true freestyle powder ski. This was the first ski to include reverse side cut, tip and tail rocker, twin tips, and a decambered profile. McConkey thought of all these innovations almost entirely on his own, an exception being that Scott Gaffney gave him the idea for a decambered ski. One of the only true innovations that snowboarding influenced was the Atomic Powderfat in 1988 (production name was the Powder Plus). The Powderfat was essentially an atomic snowboard that was cut in half and then made into a functioning pair of skis. However this did not catch on and was relatively forgotten about. So well snowboarding certainly didn’t detract from ski shape evolution, it also had a very minimal effect on it. The true effect of snowboarding was getting more people into freestyle skiing and to adopt a more relaxed approach to the sport. The effect snowboarding had on skiing culture, outside of ski design and technology, is absolutely immense. There’s a reason a lot of us freestyle skiers joke that snowboarding is the best the to ever happen to skiing 😂. Anyways if you read this whole history lesson I definitely appreciate it, as I’ll take any excuse to nerd out about skiing history 😂
I really love americans , the most friendly ppl i've met. But this cultural phenomena to make up some crazy propagandistic things to trash something you don't like is crazy. They do it in a polite way though ^^
My father served in the great skier/snowboarder war of 1985. He once said "We lost a lot of good men on those slopes." Other than that he never spoke of it. After he died I found some of his old lift tickets in a trunk in the attic. Never knew he was a decorated hero. Thank you for your service, gents. War is hell.
And yet there is no memorial for him anywhere. #HEROES

I laughed out loud (And I never laugh).

Its funny how obviously everything the old man says equally applies to skis
My friend had a ski that came off without breaks and it went down the mountain several hundred meters because the breaks didnt engage. I've also seen it in some other places. Luckily, the slopes in question were challenging, so there were very few people on them, and no one was hurt, but it took like 10 minutes to find the ski as it went into a creek.
I use telemark skis, so I don't have to worry about that. I simply have leashes, and they can't go anywhere.
Skiis don't have brakes it's not a car bro.
@@soldandroad they literally do 😅
@@soldandroad Yes, they don't have exactly brakes. But there are special "antennae" that when you put them on a slope, they will not go fast but will stuck, unlike a snowboard which, if you put it on a slope, will go very long and fast. Just a fact. I snowboard myself. Of course, if you put the snowboard correctly upside down, then it will not go. But it's more about when it slips out of someone by accident.
@Viktoria wow so you're one of those snowboarders lipping people off, huh? And yes, as I said, skiis don't have brakes. They have antennas. I know whenever I need to stop my car, I wag my antenna a few times, and it magically stops. Yeah Victoria...antennas lmao 🤣
have fun, and stay safe on the slopes, thanks for the detailed response!
I haven't been snowboarding in a long time, but this definitely nailed it. Growing up, the skiers were generally the entitled, wealthy, snobs and the snowboarders were stoners, skaters, and just generally lower and middle class people. It wasn't 100% like this, but by and large it was.
It's still like this brother!

With lift tickets the price they are today, you have to be upper-middle class just to get on the slopes period.

Well, to be fair, new snowboarders are the worst people on the mountain. They are falling more often (and more abruptly), and they tend to sit down a lot... usually at busy junctions where lots of people are trying to pass through. I can imagine that when snowboarding first started out, everyone was a beginner, and all of them were just on the floor most of the time (the video actually seems to support this). I can imagine how a mountain with mostly stable skiiers would reject this.
I came here to refute you're statement, but you are completely spot on.
Occasionally I will try explaining to the people sitting on the other side of a gnoll that they should move. Most get it, with a few telling me to fuck off because they can do what they want.
Which is fine. They can get hit by someone else that's going 30 mph on that stretch who wasn't able to narrowly avoid them that time.
skiiers also stand around on the run, just as much as snowboarders

I can only speak for Europe, but whilst snowboarding really did “take off” during the late 80s and remained highly popular ever since, it appears to have tailed off a bit over the last 4-5 years. I ski in the Alps several times each season, have done for 20 years, and although still popular, the proportion of boarders to skiers has definitely noticeably dropped compared with a couple of years ago. Maybe it was partly driven by a certain cool and youthful image which by its very nature tends to be transient.

But its fucking hilarious🤣 Hot tub time machine

@@vybhavkandadai2989 yeah thats what i tried to say!
Lived this. Been boarding for 30+ years. I remember when my local resorts started allowing snowboarding for the first time. We had to demonstrate to ski patrol on the bunny hill that we could turn-right, left and stop. Then we would get our “ski-boarder” card which would allow us to get a lift ticket.
Aw gee, a real-life ski-boarder card??? You're a legend!
wow
Makes sense. I made the mistake of getting to the top of a ski hill my first time snowboarding, only to find out I couldn't turn. I was aggressively competent at stopping though. I think it must've taken an hour to get down
Ha. Same. I remember that there was 1 hill within 500km that allowed it. We'd go there once in awhile... but mostly it was finding our own hills and building jumps. When some of the hills slowly let snowboarders on I remember the verbal abuse being thrown our way from skiers. I was a punk, skateboarder kid... so I kind of leaned into it.

Thanks to this old man I've been making a fool of myself since 1985. Whenever I go to buy or rent a snowboard I ask for the kind with brakes. I leave the shop insulted and decide to just go get drunk and lippy with skiers.
Nah it’s the snowboarders who are sometimes a little inebriated, you

@@Oberkommando Rabid??? I drink enough alcohol to kill any rabies I may have had at one time.
honestly, this is how I feel about scooters when I'm at the skatepark.
It's honestly the exact same beef. The skiers didn't like the new snowboard crowd and tried to stop them but now snowboarding is just as popular as skiing, at least in my area. Just replace skiers with skateboarders and scooters with snowboarders and you have the situation at skateparks
@@nwmaxbuilds8740 The problem is when you learn to skate it can be tough and you weren't just rolling around a skatepark. Almost any kid can ride a scooter so they can easily ride around getting in the way, without actually using the park.
Yeah, scooters are just like MISSILES!
No because scooters are not new. They sucked when I was a kid and they still do today. And they are like mf missiles bro. They just see their point and not mine!
The problem is the parents drop their scooter riding kids off at skateparks like it was a free baby sitting area and the kids tend to sit in the middle skating areas
Snowboarder and skateboarder in these ages (I was young) but I remember society not wanting me around. I was a misfit to them. Glad we paved the way to today's fun hobbies
Skiing is so much safer than snowboarding for all these reasons
1: I dont like the way these punks dress
😂😂😂
Those punks are too lippy 👄 😡
They don't wear mustaches
And now they all wear the same clothes.
2. These smart alecs are on the booze
I'm glad people listened and banned this dangerous sport.
LMAO

Mustache dude: "Snowboarders arnt cooperative. "
Later
Reporter:" can you make a compromise about the future?"
Mustace Man :" NO "
This is AWESOME!!!! Gosh history is so cool. And OH how it repeats itself all the damn time
So funny that the guy with the mustache who doesn’t like snowboarders, is the exact looking type of person that snowboarders are today 😆
Not with Vuarnet's.
Definitely wasnt offered a job at Burton
Lol...Ain’t that the truth!!!
Dad; Ain’t ain’t a word!
Totally unrelated but I love that GTI
I don't get it. I've never met a snowboarder who was that big of a tool in my life
It's comforting to know that skiers are just as weird now as they were 40 years ago.
Terrible bait
Nah, we’re probably weirder
Hey now! 😂
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 no bait, just hard truths.
They must not get enough air up there.
"[Snowboards] are dangerous because they can't see backwards" Bruh they can see behind better than skis
They would be able to see more if common method of descending a slope would be a straight line. But it's not. You "slalom". And the moment your back faces hill up it's near impossible to be aware of what's above you.
@@conrad7829 Above you doesn't matter though. What matters is what's below you...which has the right of way.
@@conrad7829 but.... but on skiers your back faces up hill all the time hahaha
I both ski and snowboard, and visibility isn't worse, it's just different. "backwards" isn't necessarily uphill. On a snowboard you can see up and down the slope, but not the slope that's behind you. I have boarders pull out infront of me just as much as skiers, not looking what's coming before they make a move. I've also had learners going edge to edge on the piste consistently only to switch it up and throw a surprise turn in last second. So focused on what they're doing they don't consider allowing some space for people trying to pass.
Doesn't matter what you ride, the rules are the same: You must stay out of the way of people below you, and try not to cut across people above you. The amount of accidents you see where someone takes a hard turn without checking over their shoulder, or just carry on even though they're on a collision course and have "right of way". Not crashing isn't one persons responsibility, it's a team effort.
@@conrad7829 The code states that you are responsible for those in front of you. Not behind you. It is for the people behind you to watch and be weary of you. By the way, the code, in many states, is actually STATE LAW. You should try reading them.
smart alecs!
love when this pops up every few year
My friend was snowboarding and he broke his collar bone when two novice skiers crashed into him.
It's not what you ride, it's how you ride it. Stay sharp everyone.
man dude bro.. where have u been in '85?
we needed you in '85 bro

those damn skiboards or whatever they're called without breaks unlike skiers right...
To be fair, maybe he's talking about when skis pop off. Bindings do have brakes that automatically engage when the ski boot disengages from it so the ski can't just zip its way down the hill.
@Johannes
Skiboards: funny mash-up of ice skaters, snowboarders and skiers.
regulargonzalez snowboards dont pop off like skis idiots.
high thet didn't use to have bindings bro just slip on loops
Tyler McDonald they showed a guy with straps on board and yes they had straps on some. They were like old ski boot latches before ratchets were invented.
My dad was a snowboarder and what I seen him go through still haunts me. I get bad grades, we live in poverty and we been a victim of bias on the slopes. My mom was a skier and her family disowned her. Just yesterday a cop pulled me over and seen my snow board and asked me, "you going SKIING?". Snow boarding is still hated to this day but the mainstream says it excepted.
Chad is still on ski patrol.

Nope. He was killed by a snow missile.

Dateless fashion 😉
I remember snowboarders when they first started showing up at our local ski area.....I thought they were ruining skiing ....a few years went by and the boarders got much better....I changed my mind about boarders because I realized how snooty skiers are and how they treat beginning skiers...Then I felt like an ass for ever judging snowboarders
hey you’re no ass, you were willing to change your opinion with evidence. a rare but noble concept these days.
If you can always change your mind and look at somebody else’s perspective you’re not being an ass
As a Snowboarder myself and of 37 years of age, looking back on what it was to be a Snowboarder back then meant GenX counter culture mentality against the baby boomers, so with that said, back in those days there was a bit of a punk ego at times that was used to stereotype the new up and coming sport and its riders... to see how prolific and amazing it has become now has made me truly happy!

lol exactly! Notice how in the question right after, he was asked if he sees a compromise in the future. he flat out said No, making it obvious he has no intention of understanding the other sides point of view.
I disagree. I can see Liberals' point of view (because I once believed in that nonsense) but now I only see the Conservative point of view because it's the correct point of view.
@@nonameman9291 I dont sway too far either side, even though I lean conservative. But thats the thing about opinions, eh? Everyones got one, and everyone thinks they're right.
