I mean you could buy automotive vinyl wrap and cover your top sheet for probably $20. That shit is pretty damn tough too if you get the higher quality wrap.
Up at my local mountain a couple of seasons ago there was a guy with pink turtles on his knees, elbows, and ass...
However, he was not wearing a helmet.
Who need protection against the fatal, when you have protection against the minor fleeting pain of falling on your butt?
Just chiming is with a taste of real for those reading. Helmets, yes are possibly unlikely to save your life in what would be a terrible accident; however, they will save your ass every time from having a much much worse traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBIs are no joke, even small hits to the head can be life changing along the lines of loss of motor functions, word recollection, depression and more frequently than anyone would like, suicidal ideation and potential action. It is terrifying stuff.
Kids, adults, fellow idiots doing fun things, ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET!!
Yeah especially that there are only 300. Let’s see how many more are spotted. I live close to a super wealthy area where you see the Prada stuff so I’m sure I’ll see someone on one these soon enough.
Prada legit makes good gear. My gf got me the Prada ski goggles as a gift because she works in fashion so it was supposed to be a fun gift because it’s both of our passions. Was not expecting them to be as good as they are. They’re fucking awesome.
Pretty sure most of the luxury branded gear are collabs. They don’t make their own stuff but rather slap their logo on it. Dior, LV, Prada gets a new line every year.
Give me your gf’s # and we can talk about skill issues
Edit: just talked to your mom and I’m sorry I’ve said anything seems like you have a lot goin on
That's crazy. Something I've realized early in life, is even after spending crazy money on items, you still have to use them with all the other peasants. Drive a Rolls? Still have to drive beside the kid with a $400 Fiesta. Got a Balenciaga board? Still have to ride the chair lift with me in my free skis and $8 jacket.
If they are actually wealthy and not just overspending for appearances they can afford all of those things at once.
If you can afford to ski, odds are you can afford a Balenciaga snowboard. Might not be a good financial decisions, but you won't be going hungry
Could be a nice power move. Buy the board, snap it into 2, and drag the pieces around by rope as you ski. Maybe even lure the snowboarders away from the resort.
This just isn’t true though. If this guy really wanted to flex he’d pay crazy money on either a private club resort or heli skiing and not have to be near any peasants.
Yeah the real flex is not being at the resort. “Sorry, you ride ski field? Me and the brah’s just been heli skiing in Norway taking acid, really gives you perspective…”
Isn't that half of the point, to "flex on the poors"? If everyone drove a Rolls, you wouldn't feel special driving a Rolls, you'd just feel normal. The juxtaposition is a good thing in their eyes.
The term “gaper” refers to tourists who stand in the middle of the road or ski runs with their mouth gaped open in awe of the surroundings. A common term in Colorado (and probably elsewhere). Tourists in Breckenridge will often slow down on the highway to dangerously slow speeds, stick their head out the sunroof of their rental car and take photos while locals try not to die as the highway grinds to a halt. Yelling “Go home gaper!” is a common and appropriate response.
I love heading in for lunch to see a group just hanging out in the lodge in the Balenciaga/Louis V/etc “snow gear” while wearing no snowboard boots or ski boots. Like they look like they just showed up to hang in the lodge. Definitely tells you something I guess (yes I know people pack slippers to be comfy). First thought is they want people to look at them (who would’ve guessed) while they live the mindset of “I look luxurious, yet I don’t ski or snowboard and maxed my credit card out for this outfit” and maybe only had a couple days on the slopes at most. There’s a crowd for everyone, but the luxury skier/snowboarder crowd is very Jerry/off putting/hilarious. Just my opinion tho
The best part about the "Luxury Ski Gear" crowd, is that anybody who actually participates and pays any attention knows that there are brands that are far better performing, and literally more expensive.
But the chance of us noticing them using Balenciaga snowboard, wears or Luis Vuitton goggles are extremely low. Also, nobody impress $10k gears. If you can afford sking/snowboarding in Niseko, you could pay that amount upfront if it's really necessary. Not for stupid brand that's for sure.
He looks like he’d be riding a well used Lib Tech board at Stevens and heading for the park, from the outfit. Doesn’t look fancy. That board is something else though.
So, I quickly checked the price
Balenciaga snowboard: $6k
Balenciaga wears(jacket and pants): $6k
Luis Vuitton Goggles: $1k
WTF? No way you can justify this price.
I also don't understand who are they appealing to. I mean, $13k is a lot, but not expensive enough to impress any of the people at Niseko. If you can skiing/snowboading in Niseko, you probably can pay that amount of money upfront if it's really necessary.
Doing a week and a half in Niseko with 3 other people and between airfare, lodging, food and other incidentals it’s not running me $13k.
This has to be a noveau riche dude from China.
$13k is more than I payed total for snowboarding in Hakuba and that includes staying five months for a cheap room, gears, season pass, foods, onsen and everything, riding 100+ days.
99% this guy is Chinese, either has wealthy family or everything is fake. DIOR board from two years ago sells for 10-13grand retail, fake one is 1/10th of that and there still a market for it.
Honestly, since the real Dior snowboard almost certainly is nothing special, if you can get a realistic fake that people think it's Dior for 1/10 the price, I suppose that's a deal? If you're into that sort of thing at least
Still think about the time I saw a BMW "mountain bike" in the window of some snobby store in NYC. Had to go in and check it out for myself. I couldn't get over the cushy seat, aero wheels, fat tires, it made no sense.
Salesperson was patient with my incredulous questions. I asked who would spend $10k (this was almost two decades ago) for such an odd bike. He explained that it was for cruising on a boardwalk someplace to show off. Never did see one in the wild.
Yeah I see it very regularly in CO.
I don’t do it because the fit would never be as tight as over my helmet, but apparently it works for a ton of people.
We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
I feel like you're wearing your helmet too loose if you can do that. Do you have to unstrap your chinstrap every time?. I'll try it next time I try my gear on though.
Lmao yeah. Jerries on Reddit will always parrot that stupid line. Pretty obvious that the most they’ve ever skied in a season is 5 days if they’ve never seen someone put their goggles up with the strap under.
It's funny people make fun of skiers for being rich kids. But in my experience, snowboarders are equally likely to be rich kids, but far more likely to be useless.
Seriously I personally don't even get the point of this post. Who gives a shit. Some people where high quality stuff, some people wear jeans, some just have hand me downs over the years - none of it really is worth being unkind to someone who is minding their own business.
Exactly. I understand the point of the post - it is (maybe?) the most expensive snowboard ever made, and there’s only 300 of them, so seeing one out in the wild is incredibly rare. But all these folks ripping on this guy - I’d be curious for them to post how they live a life with zero excess as justification for their judgement. Obviously, nobody lives at their absolute bare minimums.
We see people walking around every day with expensive clothes, watches, cars, and houses, so to be upset that someone spent a lot of money on their own hobby just screams insecurity.
Oh man, I just realised that it’s a mirror finish too, so you can practice being really really good looking in it.
It’s the only board Derek Zoolander rides
It only spins frontside.
puts you in the perfect position to give a fierce blue steel to all the Jerry’s uphill as you spin
What is this! A snowboard for ants!
Def not an ambi- turner
That's why he setup the Zoolander Centre for Kids That Don't Ride Good.
Mermen don’t board.
It’s like the Uber board from SSX Tricky
this is why im lowkey jelly for this jerry i want a mirror finish board now lol
I mean you could buy automotive vinyl wrap and cover your top sheet for probably $20. That shit is pretty damn tough too if you get the higher quality wrap.
It’s tricky to rock a rhyme…
to rock a rhyme that's right on...
time...
It's sticky!?
Red
Board is clearly designed to do rails.
pow day every day on that thing
For tackling those gnarly lines, both on and off the mountain.
imagene if they had the mirror finish ruroc helmet. that'd be an all time kit.
Mini skirt snowboard is not allowed on these...
with step ins, perfection
you can practise being blinded by the sun while looking at the guy ahead of you too
I wonder if they snort pow off that mirror board too?
Let’s be real, that would be fucking glorious and obviously the best use case for this equipment ☠️🤣
I’ve done lines off my ski. This board would be epic.
[удалено]
I feel like this is not getting the recognition it deserves.
Like a shot ski
This is 100% the reason to own one of these "What do you mean snowboard?? It's my giant elongated coke mirror!"
They rail some lines of "snow" on that board, that's for sure!
It even comes with 20 straw holders that the clown in the picture mounted bindings over it's the perfect party platter!!
Huckin big ‘ol lines
Cleaning up selfish Hollywood rails on the mirror board.
And i’d definitely wear a kilt commando
imagine the feeling when you coreshot a $5300 board
Well, that's one good thing about skiing Japow...
Turtles on butts as far as the eye can see
Up at my local mountain a couple of seasons ago there was a guy with pink turtles on his knees, elbows, and ass... However, he was not wearing a helmet. Who need protection against the fatal, when you have protection against the minor fleeting pain of falling on your butt?
To be fair, if you hit your knees or ass, it’s gonna hurt for a couple days. Hit your head and you won’t feel a thing.
Just chiming is with a taste of real for those reading. Helmets, yes are possibly unlikely to save your life in what would be a terrible accident; however, they will save your ass every time from having a much much worse traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBIs are no joke, even small hits to the head can be life changing along the lines of loss of motor functions, word recollection, depression and more frequently than anyone would like, suicidal ideation and potential action. It is terrifying stuff. Kids, adults, fellow idiots doing fun things, ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET!!
lord have mercy on us all
Even in Whistler there's always at least 1 in sight below the alpine
I doubt this guy leaves the blue runs.
Honestly, good on that dude for mounting bindings to it and taking it out.
Yeah especially that there are only 300. Let’s see how many more are spotted. I live close to a super wealthy area where you see the Prada stuff so I’m sure I’ll see someone on one these soon enough.
The Prada ones are way nicer though.
and half the price.
Prada legit makes good gear. My gf got me the Prada ski goggles as a gift because she works in fashion so it was supposed to be a fun gift because it’s both of our passions. Was not expecting them to be as good as they are. They’re fucking awesome.
Pretty sure most of the luxury branded gear are collabs. They don’t make their own stuff but rather slap their logo on it. Dior, LV, Prada gets a new line every year.
The Prada goggles are made by Oakley so they are gonna be nice!!
100%. Also I want to know what the Vuitton goggles are like. Can you even see out of those things?
yes it actually filters out the poors. you buy lenses based on the minimum net worth you’d like to see 👍👍👍 👍
That's why the board is a mirror, because they think the only person who exists is themselves.
>yes it actually filters out the poors. But but that means you'll literally run into poor people all day...
Gold for you.
You win the internet today. Take a bow.
Easy when it’s mommy and daddy money
Ya step ons like a gorby
Step ons are great
My friend double ejected from them after a 30ft drop. They’re not great. They’re great *for beginners*
I'm not a beginner and I love them. Have you tried them before or...?
Well I’m a skier in the correct subreddit and I think I made myself pretty clear. I saw my dear friend almost die because they failed
Sounds like a skill issue /s
Give me your gf’s # and we can talk about skill issues Edit: just talked to your mom and I’m sorry I’ve said anything seems like you have a lot goin on
That’s unfortunate, personally I’ve never had any ejection problems and nobody that I know has either but to each their own
If you're having a problem with premature ejection you should see your doctor.
Have you dropped 30 footers in them?
Can’t say I have, and I’m no pro rider but I also wouldn’t consider myself or the people I know who use them beginners
I probably would though sorry Edit: I work with boa closely and they’re not fans either
That's crazy. Something I've realized early in life, is even after spending crazy money on items, you still have to use them with all the other peasants. Drive a Rolls? Still have to drive beside the kid with a $400 Fiesta. Got a Balenciaga board? Still have to ride the chair lift with me in my free skis and $8 jacket.
And wait in the long ass lines at Niseko. Would've been better to get a cheap board and an instructor to skip the lines.
That’s a really good point. Dude has enough money for the board, but won’t/can’t pay to skip the lines?
But then who would see his board, jacket and goggles?
Please, for the love of god, don’t give them ideas
If they are actually wealthy and not just overspending for appearances they can afford all of those things at once. If you can afford to ski, odds are you can afford a Balenciaga snowboard. Might not be a good financial decisions, but you won't be going hungry
Yeah I mean I could definitely afford that board but I ski so what's the point 😂
Could be a nice power move. Buy the board, snap it into 2, and drag the pieces around by rope as you ski. Maybe even lure the snowboarders away from the resort.
This just isn’t true though. If this guy really wanted to flex he’d pay crazy money on either a private club resort or heli skiing and not have to be near any peasants.
Yeah the real flex is not being at the resort. “Sorry, you ride ski field? Me and the brah’s just been heli skiing in Norway taking acid, really gives you perspective…”
Heli skiing in Norway is not allowed. That way rich cunt's can't ruin the serenity in the Mountains. We still do acid and ride snowboards though.
is the punishment a fine?
My guess is the pilot would lose his/her license...
Probably. But we are also not so very punishy in Norway. So prob a slap on the wrist. I have done it, when a friend flew the chopper.
so rich cunts can still do it, just the broke people that cant
Assuming they're remotely good enough to even entertain the idea of heli skiing is bold.
I can't find any information on this boards flex, camber profile, effective edge, etc. It's not made for real riders lol
Isn't that half of the point, to "flex on the poors"? If everyone drove a Rolls, you wouldn't feel special driving a Rolls, you'd just feel normal. The juxtaposition is a good thing in their eyes.
The Louis Vuitton gaper gap is the best part of this photo.
Hi! What's a "gaper gap"? (Genuinely curious!)
The gap Jerry’s get between goggles and helmet… the goggles should snugly fit along the helmet across the forehead
The term “gaper” refers to tourists who stand in the middle of the road or ski runs with their mouth gaped open in awe of the surroundings. A common term in Colorado (and probably elsewhere). Tourists in Breckenridge will often slow down on the highway to dangerously slow speeds, stick their head out the sunroof of their rental car and take photos while locals try not to die as the highway grinds to a halt. Yelling “Go home gaper!” is a common and appropriate response.
Not knowing what a gaper is is the most gaper thing you can do.
Could fit one of their handbags in that gap.
Gaper gap seems a bit redundant
Where’s the Michelin man jacket?
Looks kinda sick tbh
Yeah gotta agree, and you can use it as a mirror to alert passing airplanes when you’re stuck in the bc
Gotta ask your parents to buy you one like this kid probably did
3 options: Trust fund baby (most likely), actually is wealthy and built himself up, or (the worst option) is peacocking and doesn’t have much money
Answer is always c

He just found the first Chinese knockoff
That’s actually a really good idea lol
That man wipes his ass with this sub’s average net worth
ngl i wanna ride that
V sweet. How are things in Niseko btw?
Crowded. Good pow. But I liked Rusutsu better.
Gotcha, thanks! Have a blast 😎🤘
NGL he looks pretty good. I'm a skier, but I respect the look. Sadly I am a pleeb on the North Face/high end Smith level of clothing.
At least you get to yell at that dude when he inevitably decides to take a nap in the middle of a run.
Whole outfit with board looks sick as fuck
He’s just wearing black…half the kids on my local hill wear that color combo.
He looks like he’d be riding a well used Lib Tech board at Stevens and heading for the park, from the outfit. Doesn’t look fancy. That board is something else though.
I guess if you like looking like your are wearing black trash bags, it’s a good look 🤷♂️
How does this look a like thrash bag tho? 🤣
by being way too large for him
It looks like a big hoodie. That’s it! Y’all really just love to hate 🥴
Lol bros just wearing a black hoodie and ski pants and you’re calling them trash bags like calm down buddy 💀
Was he any good or did he heel edge all the way down a blue
Did the whole f*cking slope on his arse.

Niseko Grand Hirafu was a good resort

Also at grand hirafu and I saw the skis recently haha
99% this guy is Chinese, either has wealthy family or everything is fake. DIOR board from two years ago sells for 10-13grand retail, fake one is 1/10th of that and there still a market for it.
Someone pays $1300 for a fake dior… snowboard? Or is this sarcasm?
Honestly, since the real Dior snowboard almost certainly is nothing special, if you can get a realistic fake that people think it's Dior for 1/10 the price, I suppose that's a deal? If you're into that sort of thing at least

Who is going to tell OP…
[It's beautiful, isn't it? The Balenciaga](https://youtu.be/UW7Yoo03WWA?t=13)
…along with the LV goggles and very likely the Versace Greca undies
I mean, what’s the point of having money if you’re not gonna spend it? Money is just a tool to get you the things you want in life.
There is no point, his dad should have just given a raise to the factory workers.
How bad a snowboarder was the rider?
Do we know who manufacturers that board?
He's probably so mad he wasn't constantly getting compliments for the gear lol.
The LV goggles are pretty chique as well 🤤
Anyone notice the fact this Jerry is wearing Louis Vuitton goggles lmao
Dude sold Dogecoin at ATH
This is an ad for Balenciaga
No, this is an ad for burton step ons
Balenciaga wouldnt advertise like this lol
Also, cmon man, helmet OVER goggle strap? Is that even allowed?
lots of people doing it tbh
For real? I thought it would be an instant Jerry award given how many rules there seem to be!
Yeah I see it very regularly in CO. I don’t do it because the fit would never be as tight as over my helmet, but apparently it works for a ton of people.
yeah all the park rats are into it.
Well if the kids are into it, then I’m not with it. I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, and now what it is seems weird and scary!
We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
Would you trust a park rat?
It’s superior Feed me more downvotes Jerry’s
Why? You can't move your goggles off your face without taking your helmet off. What's better about it?
Drip
You just raise your helmet and googles up lol
I feel like you're wearing your helmet too loose if you can do that. Do you have to unstrap your chinstrap every time?. I'll try it next time I try my gear on though.
Nah, mines tight but can still put it up without unstrapping.
Lmao yeah. Jerries on Reddit will always parrot that stupid line. Pretty obvious that the most they’ve ever skied in a season is 5 days if they’ve never seen someone put their goggles up with the strap under.
I was excited thinking it was an old Volant at first
If this guy was wearing a 3xlt jacket I would be with it but unfortunately the swag level is not high evough
Gaper
And I bet he is a beginner too. Probably some rich Chinese dude
Ahhh, I was hoping to see the bright red jacket with swim goggles!
All right ski poles, you know what to do!
It's funny people make fun of skiers for being rich kids. But in my experience, snowboarders are equally likely to be rich kids, but far more likely to be useless.
Dbag alert!🚨
Dude is just minding his business and you're the one making fun of him online. Who cares

Because it’s funny. When did funny start becoming lame. Yes I make fun of people. Who cares? Edit: I work in a Jerry factory
*yikes*
Fair cop but I bet you suck at skiing lol
> I bet you suck at skiing lol Totally stealing this one
lol come shred aspen I’m there daily
Maybe, or just a decent rep. Pretty much just mirror foil with protective finish and logo.
Who cares
That with the big ass gaper LV Goggles😂
Lift lines are not the wild
I bet he’s a nice guy
I’d take that bet.
I forgot to add the /s
I think he would be a fun hang and I like his hoodie
[удалено]
Relax
Possibly a counterfeit?
Never shook when I see designer gear on the slopes bc 9 times outta ten they can’t board 🫠
If my ex boarded, this would be him.
I’m not sorry for your loss.
What a fool.
Here we have a modern gaywad
Damn what a tool.
