Yesterday i had to help on the slope....
A kid had an accident in the park and i helped the first aid team to load him into the helicopter, which flew him into the hospital.
The boy was wearing a hightech jacket and all the best (blingbling) stuff you can find nowadays...
He wore a helmet and tons of protection gear, but still managed to hurt himself by trying to ride the Kicker with lack of speed.
Then he told me : "it's so rad that they send me to the hospital by helicopter, could you take a picture of me, i have to send that to all my friends...."
And suddenly i started to ask myself.
Is this it? Or am i just too old to understand that?
When i started riding, the gear wasn't that important.
We just had fun. We tried some new tricks and talked about everything and we tried to enjoy the time. It was all about the fun.
But suddenly that changed. Now everyone wants to be "gangster" or "cool".
The clothes are more important than the tricks or the style.
The technical part means your wearing at least an ipod jacket instead of doing a technical trick on the slope.
And the fun means, you're just trying to be cooler than the rest of the world....
That really pisses me off!!!
Where is the fun? Where is the love?
i don't know, but i am too old !
this is it!
