Looking steezy is for park rats. Mogul pants make bump skiers look RADICAL. You have a lot to learn...

here is an example where knee patches show the judges the quality of your turns:

It's a visual cue to help analyze the quality of turns. With solid color pants, you can be bringing your knees up to your waist and it won't necessarily look like you're absorbing. Put a different color on the knees (actually, top half of the shin,) and the relative motion between the knees and upper body becomes much more apparent. The other thing it helps is to identify is how tight the stance is. There's probably a few more things, but basically it's to help judge turns.
One of the reasons I want them is because I spend a good amount of time watching any video of me that gets posted here trying to pick apart my turns. If my feet and skis are hidden behind bumps, it's hard to tell if I'm using A&E or just turning. The pants would help that.

Hmm. Actually, if I'm not mistaken I think that whole display (tag up on the thigh, pizza wedge goose stompin' turn) is known as "The Grassi":
I need to pick up some baggy houndstooth pants to complete the look. :lol:
thats a load of crap. you want them cause you think they make you look super dope.

Goggles are the least of your worry. :razz:

Another thing to note is that my muscular thighs broke the red string used to tie the bib on. I think Greg's kept slipping down his puny chicken legs. ;-)
Stills do suck...
