I'm Sexy 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I'm always laugh at some people who posing (is that correct word?) on slopes. It's funny to watch especially when crash! I spoke with friends about this thing, I think some people doing snowboarding just because it s cool and looks good and posing, not for themself. I do it for myself. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I would not do very well with the posing thing. Just for me, of course. As it should be. Do you go first then, I'm Sexy? Link to post Share on other sites

wendy-cake 0 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Posing is a big part of the scene here. It seems that way to me. Is it in other places too? Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I saw more posing in one day of boarding in Japan that I saw in 4 years here in Australia. It's still evident here, but just not as much. And people don't all have the latest and greatest clothing either. Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 0 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Latest and greatest wear I have seen this season resembles a car mechanics overalls. Link to post Share on other sites

maoriboy 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I think there is posing everywhere...not just here. The number of posers in Australia, NZ and other countries are just as much. Case in point, Aussie beaches!! The number of posers on the beach or just hanging round the parking lots in their cars is amazing. Same for NZ too, just the chicks there arent so hot Link to post Share on other sites

flipside 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I don't care how you look as long as you're havin' fun. That's the main point of it all, isn't it. It's the same on the dance floor, you're there for the music. Link to post Share on other sites
neurozoo 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I like spraying posers with snow as I pass them by.. and jumping over them when they fall in front of me.. also fun to imagine them as human flag poles in a boardercross. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Snowsports are full of "posers". Lots of the videos I've seen have been full of pros pulling funny faces or farting or swigging beer in a sad attempt to be "wacky" and "zany". That kind of behavior is about as unconventional as a trance fan wearing tie-dyed clothing. I always liked Terje the best because he looks more like a scientist than a.n.other boarder. Unlike all the other early ones with that crappy "core" music, his vid "The Haakonsen Factor" has all these really funky breaks on it and he introduces Shaun White, then about 12, just coz he rips. Not because he's one of Terje's wild boy crew and "oh man, we just have the most rad time" and all that kind of self-congratulatory bullshit. Japanese people go the whole hog on the gear, but you don't get that much of a "look at me" vibe coming off them. Not in an obnoxious manner at least. Link to post Share on other sites
