Fattwins 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Can riding in jeans be cool? If you slap a little duck tape on the backside, it can be done. The question is, is it cool? Link to post Share on other sites

nekobi 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 it seems like it would be easier just to borrow some snowpants. but if that strangely can't be done, then the jeans-tape thing is way cool bc of its resourcefulness. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 What about if you have Kissmark snowpants that look like jeans? Where does your coolometer stand then? Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 ahhhh.....memories... images of jeans and starter jackets (cheesy jackets with NFL team logos on them) all over the mountain...a truly new york skiing experience... and yes, they are very uncool, and usually very dangerous... danz Link to post Share on other sites
Will Lee 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 My question is, is it even still acceptable to do so back home? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hey did your pants fade when you dried them. Just remember "yeah, go with it". Barok got that nasty crash on video. Everytime I see it I cringe. Link to post Share on other sites

I once saw a Patroller blasting this one group who were intent on a doing a technical black diamond course, what the hell those fools thought they were doing where they were is anybodies guess. We called them "gapers" I had another friend in California who called them SPORES - stupid people on rental equipment Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 High school trips with cotton strechy gloves and jeans tucked into the boots. Then tucking the whole 400 feet of vertical the mountain had. Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 You guys are goofs, all dupes of corporate marketing campaigns. You don't need all that "technical" gear. Disgusting vintage snow wear or jeans and a snorkel parka are the shizz-nit...and you better figure it out FAST or else be an onslope dope! Link to post Share on other sites

mogski 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 IM how dare you abuse my icon like that! There is nothing wrong with a turtle neck especially if it is worn with stretch courdroys! Question. If the Jean Rider was wearing gators would he/she be even cooler? Link to post Share on other sites
dane 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 oh my, i have a dreadful feeling this thread has started on account of last weekend... i can't fathom why though. my jeans aged like 10 years at least... let's put it this way, i could go for the bleached punk rocker look. as to whether or not it was cool or not, i offer this modified quote/retort of forest gump: "cool is what cool does". regardless, it was funny shit! and i wont be forgettin' my pants again. i hope everyone can enjoy a laugh at my expense when i update my site with vids/pics of the whole experience.

Fattwins 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 Gators, Japanese love gators! They dont even have to be wearing jeans and they will wear gators. My wifes parents buy new ones every year. Hey Dane, Ill pack those next time, so you wont have to duck tape the bottoms. Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 If you buy the right acid-washed drainpipe-leg jeans, you can dispense with the gaiters and duct tape, no problem. Just tuck those straight tight legs right into the old boot there friends. Link to post Share on other sites
dane 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 for now, check the partial update! and cheers to everyone who made the weekend fun, despite mother nature's attempts otherwise. ****in' eh! nick, you'se da man. you should go into a career of duck tape fashion man.

mikazooki 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 y' guys oughta know, there r a lotta different cultures livin japan (albeit in small numbers), but any given culture may have its traditional choice in the tape it uses for securing ducks (to stop them getting under ropes for example). some may use sticky tape, others masking tape, and all could argue for the superiority of their duck tape. however if u choose also to use your duck tape in some form of weather proofing exercise i suggest we reduce the cultural ambiguity and refer to duct tape. its strong, sticky and dont take no sh*t from rain or snow. funnily enough it is also pronounced exactly the same as duck tape. however, as far as know no regional communities have taken to using it for securing ducks, because other cheaper forms of tape to that job adequately. hope i helped.

badmigraine 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Zooks, since you bring it up, let me just say I had to stop using gators because their tails get in the way onslope and at lunch in the lodge they keep trying to eat the other skiers. Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 there is an old wise saying that goes: "if you cant duct it, f%$#k it" duct tape autimatically adds cool points to any outfit... well done dane danz Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Yeah, you boys are tickling my pedant rib a bit there. These kinds of mistakes cost lives. Duck hunters in the States have been known to put 'duck tape' over the hole in their boat in the belief that the water will roll off it like 'water off a duck's back'. Only the tape was for 'ducts', and wasn't waterproof, so the boat sank and they drowned. True story. There were no 'gators to eat them, but they ended up with a lot more water in their gaiters than they bargained for. I get the feeling that badmigraine has a lot of hands-on experience with godawful clothing... Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 Us Canadians eh, we carry that duct tape everywhere eh. Fixin a boat eh, might be asking a bit much eh.
