Snowboarding

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that more and more snowboarders care more about looking cool than busting out a new trick, which has given the sport a bad reputation from these fake boarders who do all the trash talking and none of the actual riding. The author points out that a poser is any boarder who exaggerates and lies about their skills as a rider to impress an interested spectator; therefore, the social crimes committed by these unethical posers must be stopped by the true boarders who cherish their favorite sport. The paper relates that, to handle these villains of the snow, just ignore their stories or publicly embarrass them in front of preferably a large group of boarders.

From the Paper:

"When you didn't physically see your "friend" go down the whole run, of course you should believe him that he pulled off that huge 540 tail grab. Obviously if you did not see it happen it has to be true. Most importantly, the majority of the time we're not physically on the mountain showing off our skills. Does this mean whichever boarder can tell a better story is the greater of the two? You know that's not true, but a gullible snow-bunny might not think the same. So when the poser is lying to impress the snow-bunny, all you can do is sit back and hear the trash come spewing out of his mouth like upchuck. There's no point of blocking him from this and making yourself look like the worse of the two. Are you going to put up with this winter outrage? So ask yourself, when the mountain closes what chair are you going to be in?"
