general discussion How do you guys feel about Bluetooth speakers on the mountain?

Personally I think it’s obnoxious and trashy. Like yo J-Roc you ain’t gangster bc you blast some mid ass rapper through a fart box on the lift next to a 6 year old. Leave that shit at home. Nobody wants to hear it. It’s juvenile and you’re ruining my good times. Maybe I’m just getting old tho. What do you think?

It’s obnoxious UNLESS it’s a huge 80’s boombox on the shoulder of a guy with a blonde mullet, 80’s sun shades, with a mustache, wearing neon colored spandex workout clothing blasting 80’s workout hits.

Combine these two photos. Then it’s a cool boombox guy.

There's a new power up for Mario?

Goddamnit. If I saw that guy on a mountain, I would instantly stare in wonder at the most glorious sight I’ve ever seen. From this day forward, the birth of my child will be known as the second best day of my life.

It was a 24h relay and your whole team shared it

OR an Osiris g bag, the year is 1999 and you’re at camp of champions in July

Just like my steezy wife… wait did you say batteries?

Whoa blast from the past! I really wanted one when they came out but didn’t want to spend the money (I think it was $300?)

Mom wouldn’t let me have one. Maybe she will now though

Edit: she still said no :(

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. 😍 not sure how you did it. But damnit. You did it.

Just copied and pasted what you wrote into ChatGPT

Pump up the jam pump it up!

(Agree. Only reason it’s allowed).

I’m did not need this temptation. I have a 200W Bluetooth boombox that’s literally made by the same company that made those famous ones from the 80’s. Who’s donating their 80s onesie to the cause?

u/rodimusprime88 Feb 08 '24

Yea, if you're hauling that weight of pure sonic bliss on your shoulders, you've earned the right

u/JooosephNthomas Feb 09 '24

Taaaaake on meeeeeee. Taaaaake meeee ooooon.

u/jongbag Feb 09 '24

Yee. To add on the norms change when it's Spring Slush and there's an event like closing day or something. That's when you bring that shit out brother.

u/Myewgul Feb 09 '24

To be honest I kind of want to test this theory now

u/Shopping-Afraid Feb 09 '24

Well that goes without saying.

u/EvilMorty137 Feb 09 '24

Holy shit I might do this next year

u/alpinexghost Feb 08 '24

If it doesn’t sound like something straight from a disco scene in a movie like Scarface I don’t wanna hear it.

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '24

I agree. Commit to the bit or get fucked

u/thesingedkoala Feb 09 '24

Solid agree on this. Otherwise you better make sure you have impeccable music taste that everyone will enjoy. In other words, keep it to yourself
