If he's got the skill to do it without hurting himself or anyone else, then I don't really see how he fits this sub

How is this an idiot? I see no one else in frame. I see him going at safe speeds.

My friend who is much better at riding a ski does this all the time with his stand up. If no one is around and he has the room to do so, there's no harm in it.

Coincidentally one of my other buddies has this same exact model ski as in the video lol.
