Please Shut the FUCK up.

There is a new trend that is fucking lame and becoming a reoccurring thing on Pinkbike comments. Whenever there is a good roost shot in a edit, there always has to be one butthurt person that claims that whoever the rider is, is ruining the trail and causing irreversible damage that will tilt the earth off axis. On top of that, people need to also realize that most of the time when there is a massive roost shot it is a drift not a skid. Big difference. In two of the most recent Yeti edits, there has been a butthurt anti-drifter hating on Joey for "skidding". When in reality he was drifting  the fuck out of the corners. A video I was in also received the same kind of "bro your skidding isnt cool" and "you ruined the trail" kind of comments. People need to chill out and realize that most of the time when edits are filmed. Shots are staged to look cool, the riding isn't meant to be a how to on riding fast. If you want that, go to a race clinic. Edits are meant to be visually pleasing and show off cool shit. In my opinion blowing up berms is cool looking. Sure, if you blow up a berm and dont fix it I see where people get butthurt. Honestly most people dont have the ability to blow a a berm properly anyway so I fail to see the problem, especially if you fix it. I just wanna see people quit bitching about roost shots. One more factor. People need to take the dirt in to consideration too. If you are riding a place with moon dust i.e Bend Or, the Tetons, it takes no effort to make a ton of roost, that shit is powder to begin with.
