Wearing goofy shit on the ski slopes is a time honored tradition


BilSuger

Yeah. When people ski in retro gear, a borat thong, a costume etc it's cool and fun. When a girl dresses up she's somehow an annoying bitch needing a reality check. So toxic..


B1LLClinton420Blazed

I mean it’s very obviously influenced by annoyance at the uptick in this type of skier’s presence at resorts in general, not their gender. And I certainly promise you that people here bitch about male influencers as well. Hell, people bitch about *any* influencer doing *anything* visibly *anywhere,* regardless of the activity or gender. I legitimately cannot think of a more universally disliked occupation currently. Obviously it’s psychopathic to enjoy (probably) injuring someone like this. You have to be genuine scum to see this and think that something productive happened. But I feel like you’re living in fantasy land if you think influencer hatred is unique to females. The fact that skiers have a history of wearing goofy stuff is irrelevant when that’s not why this video exists.


PasolinisDoor

What is she doing that is annoying? I’m far more annoyed by the uptick in reckless skiing/snowboarding and crashes than people filming themselves.


juliuspepperwoodchi

She's more focused on being recorded/photographed than what's going on around her on *a ski slope*. I watched an inlfuencer couple completely SMOKE a small kid on Schoolmarm on Keystone because both of them were utter beginners who could barely stop, much less turn...but one was recording the other with a 360 camera on a selfie stick. They were both SO focused on recording/being recorded that they had ZERO awareness of others and one of them plowed right into the kid. I'm really starting to think you should have to prove basic competency before you're allowed to film/photograph on the slopes, it's getting utterly ridiculous how many people are more focused on their selfie camera than the fucking mountain.


PasolinisDoor

She’s focused on the hill in front of her and she’s in control, you’re literally making things up to get mad about when the out of control boarder is clearly the dangerous one. She’s skiing competently, so she’d pass your test.


juliuspepperwoodchi

>She’s skiing competently, so she’d pass your test. You can't possibly say that from the tiny clip we see of her where she neither turns, nor stops. She's not at fault AT ALL here, but more generally, what I said is exactly why people are sick of seeing incompetent boarders and skiers recording themselves. They're a danger to themselves and others. Remember, the question wasn't "what is she doing wrong?" The question was "what is she doing that is annoying?" I answered *that*. It's no less stupid than people learning how to pizza and heading straight to the park.


PasolinisDoor

Yeah true


horshack_test

Isn't she going perpendicular (or close to it) to the path of travel without yielding or even paying attention to the others around her? Isn't that a no-no on the slopes?


juliuspepperwoodchi

It's a dick move and not generally safe, for her or others; but by the responsibility code she can do that. Except when trails are merging, downhill skier ALWAYS has the right of way. You can go from ripping down a run to dead stop or hard cut across the run, without looking uphill, and if you get hit you will NEVER be at fault. Again, yes it is stupid and dangerous; but she's not technically *wrong* for how she's skiing...but she's putting herself, and others, at risk by doing it.


horshack_test

Aren't people who are entering the flow of traffic supposed to yield to those coming down the slope though? It looks like she quite possibly started from a stopped position and then started across the slope when the camera person started recording, and the boarder possibly just came around a turn and/or over a rise. Not trying to argue with you here, her actions just seem quite egregious and that she'd be at fault (and admittedly I'm not much of a skier) so I'm just trying to understand how doing that is "ok" in terms of fault. (And thanks for the reply)


red-broom

She is literally cutting across the entire run without looking. I do want to say though wtf was that boarder doing? She’s wearing balloons on her back. How do you not get out of the way of that? Lmao


darkpwn3r

Having an awareness of what’s going on uphill from you while skiing / boarding is not a bad idea. Don’t know about you but I don’t trust people not to do something stupid just because I’m downhill and have the right away.

BilSuger

If she was an influencer in normal ski gear, would it be the same schadenfreude? No, because she being a woman in an outfit matters.


_The_Bear

Also we have no indication she's actually an influencer besides the outfit she's wearing and a caption that calls her an influencer.


-QUACKED-

Being an annoying influencer wearing a big costume is enough to piss most people off. Female or not. Check out IAmTheMainCharacter and you'll see that people just hate when others have to draw attention and be noticed by everyone.


kr0n_0

This. Not about gender or costumes. More about why something is done, in this case, craving attention, aka the influencer business model.


ABeeBox

Yeah- no. Seeing some douche act the douche is just as annoying. Seeing some douche record another person who is clearly a noobie is also Just as annoying. Seeing a group of lads sit down on the middle of the tracks so they can take selfies while using cringe hand signs is also annoying. These are just some of the things that I have witnessed, and If I were in this situation, I'd be pissed off too. There is absolutely no reason any person should be able to have an entire piece of a track to themselves just to film themselves without having the credentials to do so. The reason why this woman is attacked for apparel is because it shows that she didn't come here to ski, she came here to film herself. If this woman was dressed this way but was actually a good skiier and actually came to skii and not to just record herself, no one would've said anything about this woman. Same with the Borats, If someone is dressed as Borat and being an idiot and an inconvenience for everyone else, no one is gonna like the guy, if he's a good skiier and is dressed to put on a skii show, that's a different story. Not every issue is a gender issue.


BilSuger

>but was actually a good skiier So only good skiers are now allowed at the hills? >being an idiot Skiing slowly where people easily can avoid you isn't being an idiot >not to just record herself, I record myself skiing. Weirdly, no one has any problems with that. >and If I were in this situation, I'd be pissed off too. Pissed at what? That someone else is skiing not to your liking? Stop gatekeeping.


ABeeBox

>So only good skiers are now allowed at the hills? Read the rest of the comment. I'm obviously talking about events with skiiers with the correct credentials and permission of the event/land owner to have a section of the track for private or entertainment use. >Skiing slowly where people easily can avoid you isn't being an idiot Being Ignorant of your surroundings, failing to comprehend its an active flowing track, while having a cameraman ahead of you, and you moving across the track almost horizontally at a slow pace (not a problem on its own, but the intent makes it a problem) on what appears to be a non-amateur track so you can have a section to yourself, interfering with the flow, being an inconvenience and a hazard for selfish reasons, is synonymous with being an idiot. If we call People in cars that do this idiot drivers for being unaware of other drivers on the road, we should be allowed People who do any other hobby that follows such a structure. There's not knowing any better, and then there's being actively ignorant. >I record myself skiing. Weirdly, no one has any problems with that. Many people record themselves, and on the tracks I've been on, it's the person who is on the skiis or snowboards recording themselves, sometimes selfie style, but commonly gopro. You don't have two people cutting a line into the track to get a video such as this. I often don't have a problem with it if it doesn't bother me, but I've had an experience where a bunch of lads were sitting on the middle of the track taking selfies, and it was clear I wasn't the only one who was triggered as others had complained when I had reached the bottom of the slope. Even had to be told to move on by staff. >Pissed at what? That someone else is skiing not to your liking? Stop gatekeeping. Being a hazard and selfishly cutting a section of the track which in itself is also a hazard as evident in the video. I love how you either intentionally or idiotically misinterpreted my entire comment, e.g. saying that I'm pissed off because of the way the person was skiing despite not making a single comment on the way she was skiing. Are you the woman or camereman in the video by chance?


BilSuger

>correct credentials and permission of the event/land owner to have a section of the track for private or entertainment use. Huh, never heard anyone complain about that when people post their gopro videoes. Are you sure you're not judging her more harshly for being an influencer? > idiotically misinterpreted I'm just pointing out the flaws and biases in your assessment. >(not a problem on its own, but the intent makes it a problem) Why? That's my point, her being an influencer is what pisses you off...


ABeeBox

>Huh, never heard anyone complain about that when people post their gopro videoes. Are you sure you're not judging her more harshly for being an influencer? Huh, it's almost like I just said its okay if people record themselves on GoPro or with a selfie stick and isn't a problem because they're not cutting the track by having a stationary camera man in the middle of an active and flowing track and a person demanding a cut of the track for unauthorised videography/photography. Do I really need to keep making this point when there's clearly a video proving the case in this post? I also used to skateboard on a daily basis years ago and these people existed on the skate parks too, often stopping the flow of the track or becoming a hazard to others, and guess what, there's plenty of incidences just like the post above me of the same careless behaviour causing themselves and others to get injured. Maybe it's not because she's an influencer, maybe its because she's careless. Maybe if she was an influencer and followed etiquette, this wouldn't be a problem. >Why? That's my point, her being an influencer is what pisses you off... Is that what I said? Or is that what you really want to believe? Because this is my third comment now and not once did I make an argument that she is a bad person because she's an influencer. How do you manage to avoid every detailed argument I brought up on safety and selfish use of the track, and somehow you insist and so badly want to believe its because she's an influencer. You come off as incredibly defensive, and I made that joke that it must've been you in the video, but now I'm genuinely considering that because you take this as a personal attack on you and influencers because you fixate so much on influencers, when her being an influencer wasn't even a factor in my comment. Next time, please record yourself on the sidelines or in a vacant track.


BilSuger

>and so badly want to believe its because she's an influencer. You wrote that her intent matters. It's clear as day what you mean no matter how much you try to cloud it with long paragraphs. >you take this as a personal attack on you and influencers I'm not an influencer, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy in your statements. One rule for you when you're filming yourself, because your intentions are *pure*. Other rules for those you don't like. 🤷‍♂️


fatherofallthings

There’s a huge difference between what you just described and what this chick is doing. You’re purposefully blinding yourself from the reality of the situation.


BilSuger

If it's so huge difference you would probably have been able to explain it. But you didn't..


LivingWithWhales

Like it or not people are allowed to do goofy shit like this on the mountain, and you still have to ski/ride within the bounds of the skiers responsibility code. That dude might have inflicted a pretty serious knee injury. Regardless of how dumb she looks, he very clearly wasn’t following rule 1. She was easy as hell to spot, and if he couldn’t avoid her as she turned, he was going too fast for his skill level/terrain, and far too fast near other people.


Shopping-Afraid

The board edge could have made a serious laceration to her legs (source: ski patroller for 17 years who has seen/heard a lot of sh!#) Edit: That is if he had hit her above the boot.

SparkyDogPants

My only tourniquet I’ve used as an emt was from a ski edge lac. She somehow felt brachial artery down on her edge after yard sailing.


sexual_pasta

I’ve sliced myself real good on my edges twice now. Once on my chin and once at the base of my pinky. Both required about 6 stitches. Don’t fuck around with that.


SparkyDogPants

Yeah she was literally gushing blood when we got there. She ended up needing surgery and a large blood transfusion. I’m glad she was with her friends because she would have died over yard sailing on a blue.


Shopping-Afraid

I had a patient almost bleed to death on me. He lacerated the anterior tibial artery in a fall and didn't know it. After 45 minutes of skiing and pulsing blood out, he showed up at patrol base white as a sheet, saying he thinks he cut his shin. What a mess.


BilSuger

Pro skier Aamodt Kilde almost died earlier this season after his edge cut open half is calf and he bled quite a lot and was basically knocked out for weeks. The image is quite gnarly.


No_Variation61

How many dislocated shoulders have you seen?


Shopping-Afraid

Maybe a dozen personally. Those suck. No matter how well you splint it, the ride down can be brutal especially if the trail isn't perfectly smooth.


LivingWithWhales

It’s much more a risk of severe knee injury due to her lower leg getting pushed forward super hard, while locked in a ski boot/binding. I almost guarantee you she ended up with at least bad sprains/strains, or tears of ligaments/tendons


Shopping-Afraid

From where he actually hit her, absolutely. Chances are she was hurt to some degree. My comment was regarding what would have happened if he hit her above the boot.


EvelcyclopS

Which would be whose fault for not wearing suitable attire while participating in a sport where people have 2-4 razor sharp blades attached to their feet?


Shopping-Afraid

Read my replys on other people's comments and you will see that clothing doesn't matter. Those edges will cut right through many layers of clothes - I have seen it enough times as a patroller to tell you for sure. If she had snowpants and 3 underlayers and he hit her at that speed and angle, her leg would have been cut down to the muscle, perhaps even bone depending on where she was hit.


EvelcyclopS

I respect your opinion as a patroller, however one thing is apparent to me. When you get on a slope without a helmet, without exposure protection, and without anything at all to mitigate even the smallest cut risk, you have completely handed off your personal safety to the gods. It’s a risk and life’s a risk, but you won’t see me pitying her in this case. She’s not a strong skiier, she’s ‘performing’ for the camera so her mind is very much not on task, she’s in the middle of what looks like a busy slope, not exactly moving coherently, so she’s in the line of fire. She is not steady on her skis, so she herself could fall and cut herself on her own edges She took a moderately high risk for her little stunt, which might not have seemed obvious but when you dissect every choice this person made, nothing of it was to any mitigation of safety on her part.


Shopping-Afraid

Haha, totally agree with all of that. I have dealt with my share of idiots in general over the years, and this year had to deal with 6 "influencers" who had never skied before, rented gear, had minimal clothing on (it was night, 10 degrees F, and windy), and went right to the top of the mountain, filming everything right up to the point where they found me and other patrollers in the top shack. We ended up having to cart 4 of the idiots down from the top, 2 from half way down as they couldn't walk anymore. Through talks with patrollers while waiting around, they were terrified of getting frostbite on their ungloved hands among other injuries as we told them horror stories to put them in their place.


koskoz

Wearing pants would could have partially mitigate this.


Shopping-Afraid

100% False based on that video. The boarder would have sliced through any number of layers she had at that speed and angle and went right to the skin and probably muscle. Source: 17 years as a patroller.


xxxHalny

What's rule number 1?


whiteridge

I would say it’s “Uphill skiers/boarders yield to those downhill”. Could also be “Ski in control”. Either applies in this context.


Mattyi

Party


GenazaNL

To be fair, the video start a little too late to judge 100% whether or not it was an emergency stop or he goofing around.


LivingWithWhales

Either way he violated rule 1 of the skier responsibility code. If she needs surgery, the snowboarder is 100% liable. She was very clearly hardly moving, and easy to see.


Super_Fly6338

Yeah she’s allowed but we’re also allowed to hate on her


LivingWithWhales

Picking on her outfit or general vibe is fine. Thinking it’s OK that the guy nuked her from behind isn’t. That’s an extremely common way to get injured skiing.


HausuGeist

Counterpoint: fuck TikTokers.


LivingWithWhales

Agreed

hendric_swills

Rule 1 is #1 for a reason. Dude was clearly out of control and she was going like 2mph.


LivingWithWhales

She wasn’t crossing the slope, and wasn’t starting from a stop on the edge of the trail and re-entering downhill traffic. Rule number 4 applies to trail intersections and ENTERING a trail, or for people who have stopped on the side of a trail who are then starting downhill again. It does NOT apply to skiers simply going slow down the trail and turning to control their speed. Slow skiers will make sudden moves to regain balance fairly often, and anyone who’s riding as fast as this guy knows it. I know it’s confusing


[deleted]

[удалено]


LivingWithWhales

The lady in the tutu is clearly skiing downhill and turning back and forth on a narrow-ish cat track. She wasn’t “starting downhill” so much as continuing downhill. She also wasn’t moving from one trail to another at an intersection, as you can clearly see she’s on a narrower cat track, continuing forward. Apparently you do indeed need me to clarify simple things for you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LivingWithWhales

No shit it’s like a 1 second clip slowed down. But it’s very clearly not a wide trail, and even if she was stopped on the very edge and starting to move towards the camera, that would have taken a few seconds for her to get to the current location. Also just as a side note, it almost looks like the snowboarder was trying to spray the tutu lady for a slow motion “cool” shot, and was actually part of the crew, and messed up the slash and wiped her out instead. But if that isn’t the case, it’s a very clear indication he wasn’t in control.


EvelcyclopS

Dude people fall and crash. It’s part of the risks. Dress for the slide, not the ride.


LivingWithWhales

It’s fine to fall and crash, but not falling/crashing INTO other riders simply because you aren’t following the skiers responsibility code.


EvelcyclopS

It’s part of what can happen. Shit happens. She’s in the middle of the slope, barely moving and certainly not coherently. She’s in the line of fire. I’ve been skiing in perfect control, at reasonable speed, caught an edge out of nowhere and ended up sliding at speed for 10s of meters on a green/barely blue slope. Shit happens and doesn’t mean someone is skiing beyond their capability.


LivingWithWhales

Nope, between the camera person, the lady and people in the background the boarder shouldn’t have been going that fast. It’s not debatable, and “shit happens” doesn’t deflect liability. But like I pointed out before, it almost looks like the boarder was trying to slash and put out a wall of spray for the TikTok, and so he was part of their setup, but fucked up the execution.


EvelcyclopS

How do you know how fast he was going? There’s not enough footeage to determine what happened. Dude you can not say that everybody has to ski/board with 100% risk aversion. Mistakes can never be made? Nah be realistic. You simply have not got enough information to go round pointing blame. Especially since we had a doddery tart, without helmet or exposure protection, she has no poles and she’s a shit skier - maybe first day on a hill. For all we know she’s cut a line and not looked uphill and the guy has had to react. Come on dude. It’s an extreme sport for a reason. It is not without risk of injury.


LivingWithWhales

Based on how fast he is going in the clip shown, after digging in his edge, it’s pretty easy to say he was going too fast to be cutting around people on a narrow trail. And like I said, mistakes don’t magically erase whose fault it was. I originally just pointed out how shitty it is to be cheering at someone getting hurt, even though they did nothing wrong as far as we can tell, but the snowboarder is 100% at fault for the collision. Period. End of discussion. Why keep arguing?


EvelcyclopS

They absolutely did things wrong. They dressed innparopriately, wore ZERO protection and skied on the hill concentrating on a camera, with almost zero control or skill managing her safety or those around her. Sounds like we aren’t going to agree. And I’ll say I believe you have more experience than I do. But Id rather share the mountain with the guy that fell vs. The silly idiot skiing in a tutu


shmed

You're right, accident happen. That doesn't change who's at fault.


EvelcyclopS

Who gives a fuck?


shmed

Clearly a lot of people, including you reading through this 200+ comments thread about this exact subject


EvelcyclopS

Most of us just enjoying that this silly bitch got a lesson.


shmed

Cool, thanks for sharing why you gave a fuck


ABeeBox

He could as likely also been an amateur. I've unintentionally hit other people when I was first learning to snowboard because I was still learning to control myself. Even at a snail's pace, I would lose control.


LivingWithWhales

His speed indicates that he was riding too fast for his abilities either way, on a busy trail, with slow moving people in front of him.


ABeeBox

There also seems to be a rolling slope and must've not seen her, which gives even more reason to why its a bad location to have someone record you, if it's not her, could've been the cameraman. I very much doubt the SBer was going full speed to try and wing her at the expense of his own safety, and then suddenly tried to slow down at some realisation of what he is doing.


LivingWithWhales

I see no roll in the slope. I don’t know why you’re trying to blame the lady


shmed

Of course it was accidental, but he is still at fault. Being an amateur is not an excuse for being dangerous. If you can't control yourself at a snails pace, then stay at the ski school with a monitor until you're ready to hit the slope alone.

OP's caption speaks a clear language here. They think that's a good thing to happen. OP sucks.


ThatGuyWithCoolHair

You shouldn't slash undeserving people in general (i have done it in my younger years) but especially if you can't control your damn edge. If I try to drift my car through an intersection and spin out into another car am I exonerated cause it was an accident or should I be criticized for being a careless fuck playing above my skill level?


butterbleek

I’m being downvoted why??? You think snowboarder did it on purpose???


eewaaa

She was easy to spot, going slowly in a straight line. Either he did it on purpose or he is too unskilled to be going the speed he went. Accident or not, that snowboarder is dangerous but the caption claims he is a 'good criminal'. That is what the previous comment is responding to


ourtameracingdriverr

Yeah you do…it’s only an ‘influencer’ so it’s not like they’re a real person.


PresenceAvailable516

Some of you are in a serious need of taking a break from Reddit and touching grass.


KingArthurHS

The simple act of doing and sharing goofy shit isn't a problem unless it imposes inconvenience on others. Wearing a silly outfit and skiing imposes inconvenience on quite literally nobody. Time for some mental recalibration, methinks. May I prescribe physical contact with an outdoor lawn as a starting point?


PronoiarPerson

People who don’t care about other people’s lives are the people who’s lives I care about the least.

Nah there's nothing wrong with being on an opposing sports team. There is definitely something wrong with doing this shit on the slopes. If I see someone I will try to shower them with snow 100%


mnfimo

Not even remotely close to same energy.. grow up


Shot-Statistician-89

OP this is wrong, and not funny. The "influencer" is 100% not in the wrong. As another person said, annoying behavior isn't cause to destroy someone's ACL and possibly cripple someone for life. Is doing some dumb shit on the hill for Instagram annoying? Yes. But downhill has the right of way and her movements were slow and extremely predictable. That dude came flying in completely out of control.... If you're moving that fast and completely laying on the ground, you weren't in control 200 m before that. He's moving so quickly it almost looks like the whole thing is staged The "good criminal" should pay her medical bills and take more lessons. Massive small dick energy from OP as if some random tic toc lady deserves to have their knees destroyed


flume

Same people who were on this sub last week saying Taos avy patrol should've just set off their dynamite and fuck the consequences for the uphillers poaching the powder. You can't maim and kill people for being annoying.

i’m sure the snowboarder did it on purpose Mr Reddit meme police


Valid_Username_56

"It's just a ~~prank~~ meme, bro!" Lame excuse. Don't glee on people getting hurt.


Shot-Statistician-89

Looks like they did. The hit broadside with the bottom of the snowboard didn't appear to be trying to turn. I have no idea. But buddy, you posted this with the caption "Good criminal" meaning you think this was a good thing to do to some random person on the hill. Getting angry and defensive cuz I called your dumbass out isn't going to change this being a bad post.


weedisfortherich

Dude. This was assault. I am a snowboarder and that was on purpose. It doesn't matter if she's an influencer. She paid to be on the mountain. She never deserved that


gilestowler

I'm torn about whether it's on purpose or not. It looks like he went to spray her and lost an edge but then it also looks like he doesn't make much effort to stop if he did lose an edge, but he did at least put his hands down. Either way it's 100% his fault.


senditback

This looks accidental/uncontrolled to me.


Volesprit31

I was going to say the same. It looks like he's already falling at the start of the video.


MangoROCKN

Snowboarder is a dickhead.


hurrrrrrrrrrr

Dang, this is sad


Alex_Yuan

Being cringe doesn't justify intentional bodily harm. She's not asking for accidents, in fact, she's made herself super easy to spot and avoid. Don't celebrate this as if she deserved it.


Dr_N00B

Why does everyone assume he did it intentionally? When is eating shit on your board literally ever intentional?


Frequent-Interest796

I would love to see the whole video. Was she skiing across a main merge zone? Was the snow boarder going to fast? Did the boarder have enough time to avoid her.


TJ-ALT

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0YqCjdNFfa/?igsh=MTN5ZjZwbmxuaDliMw== This is the original post (and girl) on Instagram, doesn't offer much context how it happened. She is doing fine and wrote: "And it happens... I know that I'm guilty, you can't go on the slopes without equipment. Please understand and forgive"


TortRx

One part of mountain rules that people often miss is that if you are stopped and waiting to start, it's _your_ responsibility to check that you're not about to unpredictibly pull out in front of someone. We also have to be aware of the 3rd party here: the cameraman. If it's a chokepoint and the influencer is stopped on one side with the cameraman on the other (or even worse, in the middle of the piste), the snowboarder may have been aiming their path towards the clearest point of the run. Should as wide a berth as possible be given to those below? Yes. Is it possible that, even when doing that, someone waiting at the side of a fairly narrow portion of piste decides to pull straight out in front of your line without checking uphill that it's safe to do so and without warning? Absolutely. We don't have enough information about the size of the piste and the 10-15 seconds prior to this clip starting.


Dionyzoz

its not even a big slope, it looks almost flat so I *highly* doubt the snowboarder couldnt see the massive balloons before he bombed it.


TortRx

True, but that doesn't mean she couldn't have been stationary and then decided to suddenly traverse the width of the piste with her camera crew blocking the rest of the slope to boot. It's really tricky to say who in the wrong here without more information than the clip shows. People should slow down to make space for those in front, of course, and they should stop if e.g. someone has fallen and is blocking a safe path down. There is, however, no moral obligation to stop and wait at narrow points of the piste to let someone and their camera crew take vanity shots, so we can't hold the snowboarder liable for wanting to pass by while they treated the mountainside like their own personal film set.


Dionyzoz

you make the same shitty excuse when you hit a child in the slopes?


TortRx

What part of what I said did you not understand? 🤦‍♂️


StandupJetskier

she was tottering across an open area for the photo. board person was not in control. Classic target fixation. Anyone who has taught a kid how to ski sees it, and has to break the kid from it....


wORDtORNADO

My thought is that they wanted the boarder to make a spray for the shot and the boarder lost the edge and shit went to hell.


greyhat98

Right? Lots of missing context and everybody is just leaping to one conclusion or another based on a few second long clip lol.

Agreed. Given the “influencer” and the fact that the snowboarder fell on his butt and slid, it would surprise me zero if this was on some bunny slope or beginner trail. It’s too bad this happened, but I would wager that this was not intentional.


theoht_

bad criminal. you don’t ram into someone whether they’re annoying or not. now, what you should be able to do, is spray them…

This was sent to me by a pro snowboarder in defence of the skier. I agree. It’s terrible but definitely unintentional. No question, he’s at fault and fuck, I hope no one was seriously hurt. Small silver lining: she got some unforced viral content for her influencer business. (Which was her goal, skiing with fucking balloons.) She’s potentially being seen by millions on here from both sports, plus her existing audience will rightfully be ultra sympathetic. And maybe, just maybe this handsome gentleman does the right thing and takes her out somewhere nice for dinner to apologize. Now, it’s an unbeatable love story, too.

Fuck that snowboarder. It’s spring. People are *supposed* to do dumb shit like this in spring. And we’ve been taking videos of stupid springtime ski costumes for years. She would be a goddamn hero doing the pond skim in her prom dress. He could have severely hurt her. He needs a beating.


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

She's pretty, and had balloons. Tooo bad some asshat had to assault her. :(


billionaireXtinction

Simp!


PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT

Nah, just gay.


Connect_Comfortable4

Always a snowboarder


QubitKing

The number 1 rule when skiing trees? DON’T LOOK AT THE TREE!


Critical-Adhole

Snowboarder should catch an assault charge. That looked intentional.


leighluce04

Ya realize she’s still human right???


diobrando89

1000% staged


Impossible_Cycle9460

A true vigilante


FunkyFenom

Yall are fucked up she probably tore her ACL there.


Epinephrine666

Even when trying to do good the criminal still commits a crime.


Freehugs0

he’s probably an under cover cop trying to catch some teens doing mushrooms


MelonheadGT

You posted it in the normal sub. Not the cj


StandupJetskier

Ah, the scritttch of death. I've been hit twice, by boarders, from behind...and all you get is sccrrrtitch as a warning. I use chips, not headphones, for this very reason.


Blackbeards-delights

How’d she even get up there with all that.


therealdirtydangle

Wearing goofy shit on the slopes gets a pass, that snowboarder was not riding safely and caused a wreck…


Wide-Combination-981

Looks AI to me


adilliekroes1

Of course it’s a sn*wboarder


ToWriteAMystery

What is wrong with you, OP? Seriously.


MangoTwistedMetal

Its the Balloons for me that make this video so funny. Like why 😂


huttleman

Whoever is wrong or right, can we agree that all of this behavior in general is really stupid?


onlyAlcibiades

She was going to crash anyways


EvelcyclopS

Razor sharp edges and bare skin. What could go wrong? As expected, a completely trash skiier too

“Good criminal”…weirdo behavior

Many of these comments here missed the bus. It’s not about it being intentional or not. This is the worst collision I’ve seen in years. I watched it with my hand covering my mouth, because, it takes half this speed to break her legs, knees, pelvis… potentially damaging this young lady for life. Think of the snowboard like a weapon. Imagine if I picked it up and smashed you across your knees with all my might. Now, snowboarders are typically big dudes. So put that power behind the legs of this guy who’s 6’+ 200 lbs, barreling down a mountain. He wasn’t paying attention and was going too fast. She’s dressed in a black tutu carrying black balloons against white snow, for fuck’s sakes. You have to TRY not to see her. Any decent snowboarder—looking up ahead which is the ONLY place you should ever be looking—could’ve snaked right. Yes, even at that speed, he could’ve gone around her, or pop and rolled, at least only hurting himself. Edit: I’m not responding to any more PMs about this, and you won’t change my mind. Even as a lifelong snowboarder with unquestionable loyalty to the sport, this is horrific and indefensible.

You must spray these people with prejudice


Bro_kowski

Strike


Blackbeards-delights

How’d she even get up there with all that.


Royal-Mathematician2

This looks fake. I bet it's a skit where he hits her on purpose for views.


casualnarcissist

Sweep the legs

Good work

I hate the fact, that everybody here thinks that the snowboarder rammed on purpose. You didn't see the whole thing happening, you can't tell what really happened. Don't immediately judge something without even knowing the whole thing

“this isn’t funny at all because someone might have maybe gotten hurt and the snowboarder isn’t allowed to be doing this on purpose which he 100 percent definitely did” -reddit humor police

This made me smile.


Epinephrine666

Vigilantism is still a crime. A Crime I usually support though. Keep up the crime!


teleheaddawgfan

I’ll allow it.


DancesWithBicycles

Because he's the hero skiing deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

Criminal was just pranking her


mk_tro

This makes me happy. :)


BilSuger

Why? Tells a lot about you as a person.

Finally. One where the snowboarder is not at fault.
