Question for the females mostly (spraying peeps)

Was riding with my girl, a female friend of hers, and a buddy of mine today.

Bluebird day, not much to do but butter around and just be a goof.

So I spray the shit out of a few skiers today, made an old lady go "oooop" and apparently turned a skiers black outfit white....

My girl and her friend started getting onto me for blasting skiers with snow, saying I'm mean, and should stop it....

I have rules.... I don't get kids, I don't get boarders often, and I absolutely don't get people talking on phones and what not because I would be pissed if someone got me while I was using electronics. And I also don't get people who just wiped out hard....

Is it such an asshole thing or are the girls just being punks?

or show a new person an epic secret pow stash.
Your whole opinion instantly became null and void with this statement.....W-T-F....:eek:

.... sticks for brains....but not up your bum...... :D

or you'll get the shit kicked out of you and learn the hard way.
I just have to say....your quite antagonistic and a little too confident in your skills....tell me you are now being sarcastic....

I love spraying people. I only do it when there is good reason: In front of a feature, on the knuckle of a jump, making tuns in the pipe, cutting me off in the pipe, watching your 2ft tall kid take a run through the pipe.

Oh and the whole track you down and fight thing...... GOOD, I could use a good scuffle to get some aggression out.

I think you are all misconceiving me just a bit...

I dont snowboard with the intention of spraying people or anything like that. If it happens it happens. The majority of the time when I spray someone its done my mistake. What I meant by the "the madder the other people get the funnier we think it is" comment is that I just find it so....so.....I cant even think of the word....ridiculous? I guess that works. Anyway, I find it so ridiculous that people can get SO angry about getting some snow on them! There are more things to be upset about in this world. The people on this thread are getting so bent out of shape about getting sprayed, saying it a sign of disrespect and that they would beat the shit out of someone if they sprayed them :dunno:....really guys? Its that worth it? That shred4life guy is a perfect example, he REALLY needs to get his priorties straight. Were in the middle of a war where our troops are getting shot and killed...but he will track someone down and beat their ass if he gets sprayed with snow????? Haha. I think thats so crazy its actually quite funny.

I knew my post would create controvesy after I posted it, but idk...Im just more of the "whatever" type of girl. I dont get upset about nonsense and it boggles my mind that some people do. There are better things in life to stress about. Damn....where is Bob Marley when you need him......Dont worry.....be happy....da da da da da.....

We aren't in a war anymore by the way, just throwing that out there.. it's an extended military occupation now.

I know this because I got out of the AF recently, the government has all but admitted we want that damned oil and we want it now.

This thread isn't about accidentally sprays. The OP posted about deliberately picking someone out for whatever reason and going up to them and spraying them. If you're kicking up so much snow while riding that you're covering people head to toe, you should consider a lesson.

Wait, when did I say I deliberately picked someone? More like everyone is fair game except people on electronics buddy....

I don't need a reason to spray someone. I'm having a blast, and your on some white stuff on a good slope, then you may get sprayed..

wow, I can't believe I read this whole thing. If i'm in a good state of mind, which is most of my time riding, it's pretty hard for me get upset about getting sprayed. I'd rather assume it was playful just because thinking the alternative will just take away from my day. But I don't spray others for the same reason I don't tell racist jokes to strangers, not everyone thinks my shit is funny

MFM part in Optimistic so here it is. master sprayer gettin it done. hilarious shit.
Yeah. I've said it before and I'll say it again - he's about as gangsta as the Pope's left nut. Anyone who writes their own page in wikipedia is being laughed at, not laughed with. You're looking at the winterized version of Uncle Rico in 10 years.

fuck i hate this sites basic setup... deleted another post of mine.

so yeah. i can't even bother to type it again. the synopsis is that by spraying, the positives are that you have fun.

the negatives are that you could injure someone (as i was... my bloody back didn't appreciate the "fun"), it perpetuates the douchbag stereotype we are trying to remove from the sport, you could piss off the wrong people (who may kick your ass, clip your pass, or just be cool people who would have bought you a beer otherwise), and for me, most importantly, you aren't actually enjoying "snowboarding", you are enjoying instigating conflict.

if thats all you want to do, go drinking and call the bouncers a bunch of pussies. after all, its just words. they wouldn't take it seriously would they?


as a couple side notes, i live in ontario.. riding here is different than out west. we don't have much snow, and what we have is thinly covering ice. i have seen level four instuctors bail on the crazy conditions here. take a weekend warrior and make him attempt to do a "super cool spray" and he could very likely go ass over teakettle and severly injure themsleves and the sprayee.

also, last time i was sprayed, i was patrolling, blocking off a portion of a run that we were transporting an injured rider on a snowmobile... i mean seriously.. what the fuck? how is that cool?

I'm not going to read the whole thread, but I will say that you should never spray anyone you don't know. If someone stops in the middle of the trail, just go around them. If someone is stopped off to the side, leave them be. They might be tired or they might have a sore foot and just need to stop for a minute. And spraying old people? WTF?

If someone sprayed me, I'd probably go after them because it's insulting and not something you should just be able to get away with.

In my opinion, its fine to spray your friends, a buddy got me good. Standing on the backside of a huge spring puddle last year, and we were laughing about it later at the bar.

For those of you randomly spraying people sitting down, have you ever thought they might be injured? You can't always get out of the way. Think first. If you were sitting there with the wind knocked out of you would you want to hear and see someone doing that to you?

If someone is somewhere they shouldn't be, they will learn a lot quicker when you stop and tell them. If you have to stop because they are in a bad spot, use that second to stop and say something.


This is MFM, after about 15 seconds in it goes to a video of him picking people out down the mountain and spraying them, including a guy on the phone at the side of the trail. I don't like the cell phones on the hill, but the guy in this video was clearly off to the side. As much as I like watching him ride, it is a bit of a dick move.

I agree spraying random people is a dick move but I lol'd when he sprayed Jeans Guy at 1:10. Maybe spraying jeansguy can be exempt from the Dick Move Rule?

Dead horse here but I'll beat on it for one x, If you are not my friend or my cute instructor, don't fucking spray me. Etiquette is not dead, nor should it be, and I'm on the hill to enjoy MY day, not to assist you in enjoying YOUR day by being the object of your sophomoric humors.

However, if I'm being an ass and hanging out in the middle of a right of way, I deserve it.
 
#125 ·
So people keep bringing up standing in the middle of "your" way?

What are the guidelines for being in "your" way, or the right of way.... Cause I ride wherever the shit I want to ride, so if I wanted to be a smartass I would say the whole mountain is in my right of way... Jus sayen...

If you goto breck or winter park around apr 14-17 you could get your chance to spray me. o_O because if I'm in the middle of the slope and I do one of my tripleflip 1080 ground spins I guarantee you.. I'm not moving for at least 5 minutes lol.
 
#127 ·
Haha nice ( =


I pretty much stay away from Breck, and I don't have the WP pass ) =

Come to Vail and you may be privileged enough to taste my spray! Raaarrrrr

The majority of people do not appreciate this and here on Mt. Hood, you will get 86`d from the place.
Wait... you mean some people don't like being sprayed???!!!!!! :dunno:

Inconceivable.
How "funny" will this be then?
I have to admit, if OP lost his pass for spraying folks, I wouldn't stop laughing until next season. :laugh:

this has been fun... but i have to say, i went into this thread fron the start with a bias...

-asking mainly womens opinion on the matter (as if you are trying to flirt or something).
-calling your girlfriend your "girl".
-having a set of tits as your avatar.

and then, getting to the subject at hand of spraying...

you may not realize it milo, and i'm sure you are a cool guy and all, but these things all are douchy. not hugely, but all together? yeah. gives an impression that i really don't think you intend.
 
#135 · (Edited)
I'm on Milo's side on this one lol. I've had ski patrol laugh when they saw me spray somebody.

Does it really hurt your ego that bad to be sprayed? Does it physically hurt you? I personally don't spray people that are injured, they are usually looking up the hill with a dumb look on their face or cutting people off.

Sounds like you people that get so butthurt about it should just put down your purse or pick up golf. This sport involves a lot of cocky attitudes etc. You roll through the park and its your fifth time on a box and you eat shit. All the park rats are going to laugh at you. Is that any different than spraying somebody for sitting on a natural roller in the middle of a sweet run? If somebody in the park isn't up to your skill level do you politely roll up and tell them they suck? I doubt it lol.

You guys really are a bunch of weenies, and you make snowboarders look like purse carrying pussies. If you see me sitting on a jump or a landing, please spray me! I am in the way.

Bunch of Nancy's around here. "Waaaaah, you sprayed me and I'm gonna cry about it but I'll kick your ass at the bottom :laugh: ." If you are tough enough to kick somebody's ass you should be tough enough to spit out a little snow and clear your goggles off. Get a sense of humor!

Milo303, if you ever make it to Loveland, let's make a few runs out of spraying people. It's always better when two people get em in a row. I hope we don't get beat up lol
 
#139 ·
Hey, I offered full permission to spray me if I'm sitting on a jump whether you know me or not. Put your panties where your mouth is and quit acting like a bunch of girls. If you can't handle snow in your face while participating in what's called an "extreme" sport, maybe you need a new hobby. It's just snow!

I'm sure you laugh at people in jeans, what's the difference?

Girls have a good sense of humor about it, I think your egos get in the way of your balls....
 
#143 ·
Lol. It's not about feeling more adequate or masculine, it's just funny. Nobody likes to be disagreed with but it won't ruin my day :laugh: I would say over 90% of people that get sprayed laugh afterwards, especially girls.

That said, if I go to your hill I'll let you know before hand so that if you get the chance you can spray me, and I'll laugh my ass off and buy you a beer :laugh:
