Gaper

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wow, those core dudes on Epicski oughta tell Simon Dumont and Jon Olsson that they're gapers. I can see it now..."hey, you guys up there on that X-Games podium...yeah, you're a bunch of gapers"

The X-games dudes dress like dosh-nozzles...don't they realize that they can get even steezier air if they wear tighter clothes...

In mountain biking, the dudes with all the expensive gear and the $8k bikes are always the ones who spend 40 minutes in the parking lot outside West Hartford Rez stretching so everyone sees them, while they guys in ripped up t-shirts and Ibexes are out there tearing it up.

The same dudes who stop at any intersection when they see someone and start breathing real heavy, take a drink, etc.. and let you go on your way with your 7 yr. old daughter and your old beat-to-hell hardtail so you can't actually watch them ride because they have NO idea what the hell they're doing?


I've seen a few of them there. Usually next to the Volvo SUV with the "Euro" stickers on it proclaiming that they live in the Farmington Vally, and have visited Nantucket, Block Island etc...

Those dosh-nozzles (did you mean douche?) probably realize that a 720 rodeo just won't look as cool in spandex. We might as watch men's gymnastics... the floor excercise in particular gets my blood pumpin.

Yeah but I like to say Dosh..haha...they don't have to wear race-suits but those big fur hoods aren't the most aerodynamic..lol..FWIW..For What It's Worth...the X-games are still more entertaining than the Olympics due to all the Steeze...

steeze


The combination of "style" and "ease." The word is spelled with a z just to make it more steezy.

Check out that steeze! Damn he's good.

Still think its retarded.

So clearly, deriving the word "gaper" from the word "gap" (originating from the gap between the goggles and helmet/hat) is erroneous.

Correction. The term Gaper originally came from skiers who skied with a "gap" between thier legs.

Since the invention of shaped skis and the new technique (legs apart a bit) the term does not describe the action.

Gapers are alive and well everywhere.....

Regardless of the location of the gap, my point remains valid.

Since we are on the gaper subject, anybody know if the various foreign cultures have their own versions of "gaper"?

Back home we used to call gapers "Chainik", which translates to a tea pot. It is used generically in the eastern european contries to describe someone who has been doing something for a while and is still completely clueless about it. With skiing, it extends into the stereotype of an overweight guy with skinny legs, all wobbly and unstable, arms flailing skiing down the hill out of control.

We call them "mouth breathers" or "knuckle draggers" or, in extreme cases, "mouth breathing knuckle draggers".

I always thought it was a hard A, too, and never understood how that relates to a gap. I figured it's really from the word "gape" as in "wide open", describing the mouth of the target, like a slack-jawed yokel, or the above mentioned mouth breather.

It would then be spelled gapper.

In CO they call that the Texas Tuck. We used to call them spores or Joeys...all kidding aside, this sport needs their $$...so snicker, sneer and joke all you want but we should stop short of shouting pejorative terms at them from the chairlift. Unless you're a complete a-hole.

I thought the Texas Tuck was when a gaper drops into a racing tuck but has his poles sticking up like errant javelins.
