Hater's guide (for snowboarders)

Lately I've been finding myself getting more and more interested in articles and journalists that go off the beaten track and say things that are not too pc.
Now that I'm having a second thought about it possibly everybody likes them and that's why we know who guys like Perez Hilton or our action sports' very own Lewis Samuels is.
Well, some time ago I stumbled upon this guide on the mustachio. I've been meaning to write something about that ever since and know its not very recent but you know what? It's a timeless gem that will be worth writing about until the day that snow turns purple.
Here's some hilarious quotes from the Hater's Guide.

"You might think haterism has been a part of snowboarding since the coming of the online communities but this side activity saw the light 2 decades ago. Remember the resorts banning all snowboarders? That was one of the first noticed hater actions. With other words, if you are a hater you are nothing better than the hater skiers from back in the day. But you don't give a donkeyshit because you didn't start snowboarding to make friends. Otherwise you would have joined the scouts.

First of all you need internet, which is pretty obvious because the hater part of snowboarding takes place on the world wide web, unless you're a real douche. To get started it's better to train yourself on the internet. When you've booked online success you can try it in real life."

"- It's easier to use different usernames. You can make your comments look better and hotter by giving props on your own comments with another username.

- You are better and prettier. When you know you're not, better tell them you know people who are. A friend, uncle, aunt, grandpa or whatever.

- When the action is too good to hate on start hating on details. Music, edit, clothing or other comments for instance. (see the holy inspiration list)

- Never be sorry. You will loose kudo's. Saying that you are sorry can kill you. Never use the sorry word, NEVER!"

"Clothing
- How are they dressed up?
- Do you like hippies, gangsters, mainstreamsters, gipsies or maybe even emo-thugs?
- Are they over-dressed for the tricks they pop?

Style & Tricks
- Do you like their style?
- Is their stance too narrow or too wide?
- Can you do it better or do you have a friend/relative who can do better?

Fun
- Are they having too much fun and does it affect their riding?
- Are they having fun or is it too serious?
Fun?"

Was Farrah Fawcett the inventor of kickflip?

Rodney Mullen if you are reading this, we know that you invented the kickflip so please, shut up for a moment.
So yeah, that's right, kaos blog has transformed into an endless obituary for dead celebrities who had some kind of connection with skateboarding.
The guys at Barcelona's Unopopmag run this the other day, so nothing original here but Jesus! By looking at this pic all I can think is how would I love to teach her how to skate- and im not even a skater. And by teach her how to skate I mean engage on a long debate over whether this pic has done more for Nike SB than them getting Eric Koston.
Oh well I'm know I'm not fooling anyone..
R.I.P. Farrah, thanks for the memories.

Micheal Jackson meets E.T. | Alien vs Predator

Here at Kaos we are really devastated by the loss of MJ.
Nah, just kidding we are not really devastated, slight sad not devastated and anyway we had a small chat about him passing away. Enough with being polite though.
Speaking for myself I will remember him as a very special man.
And by special man, I mean black gone white/sleeping in an oxygen tent/children lovin'/ hip swingin/neverland ownin/ creepy/ crazy talented/sad and weird dude. He also had some good tracks. And by good I mean friggin amazing. Of course all those things contributed into making him an icon, the king of pop. Don't worry this is not an obituary, you're having plenty of those in the press right now.
Without any further ado, allow me to remind you of this legendary Skate Mental's skateboard picturing Micheal Jackson and E.T. and reading Alien vs Predator. Behold, the graphic of all graphics.



Props to Kris for reminding me.
