THug

I really enjoy skiing. I really do! When the weekend rolls around and I can't ski because of a hurt back, angry coach, loads of homework, track meet, or other obligation, I suffer. Often times I fill this void by reading up on various industry blogs, which often contain exciting stories of travels, gorgeous pictures from ski photographers (my dream job), and three-minute park edits. These edits are an interesting phenomenon. Skiers are not gangsters. They don't deal drugs, they don't live in the projects, and they certainly don't pack heat. Still, almost every pro park skier releases monthly edits of themselves on youtube, with the hardest soundtracks and thuggish attire. Even more astonishing... I enjoy them!! Here is a rather mild example (I chose it because there are no dirty words). The skier lives in Norway, I believe.

I enjoyed the video-- It doesn't seem like he is going that fast but he still got some good hang time! That dude moves on skis like it's nothing. I thought his huge jacket was hilarious haha.
