hot-dogging
Skiing with flair
Hot-dogging is showing off with flashy, risky maneuvers—especially in skiing, surfing, or other action sports.
The hot-dogger prioritizes style and spectacle over safety or efficiency: He was hot-dogging down the slope when he wiped out.
The term carries mild disapproval, suggesting recklessness or ego over substance.
