Just wondering if now knowing it was a she snowboarder if it changes your mind.

[Azazello1313]

I..umm...agree...with...H8. There. I said it. I have to go rest now.

 

I was just talking about this with a friend of mine. There's a ski club for kids grade 4-12 on Fridays. Her 4th grader joined, and they make a weekly family trip of it. Several schools have Friday night skiing and the place is crowded. Lots of teenage snowboard marauders flying all over too. One of them took her out last week, and they regularly knock over smaller kids, then whine "I didn't know she was going to turn that way." I'll stay home, thanks.

the one time you agree with h8 is when he advocates kicking the ass of a 16 year old girl who is trying to apologize?

[Piranha]

"The snowboarder told police she was apologizing to the 7-year-old when Berg attacked her."

Sorry about that--I noticed that you intentionally didn't specify the gender of the snowboarder and I thought you had gathered enough input to drop the bomb on people that it was a she.

DOH, I would never try to mislead someone, sorry.

[juanruiz13]

wow

 

After being separated from the snowboarder Berg launched into a tirade and threatened "to (expletive) kill" the snowboarder, police said.

 

"There are fights and misunderstandings, but never have I seen anything with that kind of rage in my law enforcement career," the captain said.

I find it's easier to beat up the snow. You ever kick the crap outta snow? Ain't easy, I'm telling ya.

Nobody hurts my kids. Not more than once anyway.

 

Wanna change your vote in the catfight now?

[MojoMan]

Really depends on what she was trying to do.

Yes...what was she trying to do?

[NSab]

Accident or intentional?

[Furd]

Was the kid even hurt?

 

I guess that it doesn't matter.

[Hugh 0ne]

Snowboarding has brought an entirely new "type" of people to the slopes. This has less to do with skiing vs. snowboarding, this is more about the type of people that snowboard.

[whomper]

I wouldnt hit a woman but a reckless snowboarder hitting my kid would enrage me.

[Caveman_Nick]

There is a reason I don't vote in H8 polls.

by that logic, i guess you could argue that skiing has also brought a new type of people to the slopes....hyper-aggro 50-somethings who attack teenage girls.

[AtomicCEO]

I'm not sure there are many instances where I would punch a 16 year old girl.

 

But I'm old-fashioned.

[yo mama]

Please. It's a mountain. It's sloped downward. People ski and board down the hill, some faster than others. If your 7 year old can't get out of the way, perhaps she should stay at home. It's a big bad world out there, and it ain't always fair. You know that contact by others (intentional or not) might happen if you put your kid into any kind of sporting environment. So if/when that happens, you can't get too upset about it, especially if it was indavertent.

 

That said, assuming the person (skis, board, doesn't matter) was being reckless on like a green square kiddie slope and I got a hold of them, yeah, I'd rough 'em up a little. (Like I said, it's a big bad world out there). But people who want to go a million miles an hour and risk their lives can go down black diamonds if they want to, where that kind of behavior is more expected.

I would have just crossed my arms, nodded my head and blinked her out of existence

Doesn't traditional ski slope etiquette say that the upslope person has to watch out for the lower slope people? I'm not around ski slopes often, but my experience of snowboarders is that they don't often consider anyone else on the slope.

Ettiquette may say that. There may even be rules that say that. But we all know that, in reality, there are people who are going to ignore both. YOU have to be aware of what's going on and YOU have to protect yourself from those who don't follow the rules. If you're not up to that task, then don't assume the known risk.

 

Like I said, I'd still go rough the guy up if he was being reckless on a kiddie slope because that's bull. But I don't get on the slopes - and certainly wouldn't put my 7 year old on the slopes - without a firm understanding that you've got to watch out for yourself because not everyone is going to play by the rules. It's a dangerous sport and people get hurt all the time. You simply can't get out of bed in the morning, let alone strap on some skis and head down a mountain, assuming that every single other person you come into contact with is going to look out for you.

You're telling me that a majority of snowboarders who frequent the slopes aren't skateboarders and such, who would never have set foot near a mountain if there only option was skiing? Please, I await your response.

[MojoMan]

This poll was ghey.

I'm a snowboarder. I snowboard with 6-10 guys who are all 30 years old and respectful of everyone on the slopes.

 

Being a dangerous sport, accidents are going to happen. There are plenty of skiiers who are just as out-of-control as snowboarders. Trust me. I've done both.

This poll sucks!
