  4. I don't think that german guy knows how to go slow after the speed runs you guys were making on WL thurs night I think we lost 2-3 inches of base from the re-entry speeds, do you guys have asbestos or ceramic suits on
  5. Thanks Brian, where the that put me What a TEAM, I went from 3-4 fastest on my last team, to the slowest on this team It was a great year, I hope a lot more people come out next year.
  6. Wouldn't have crashed if you were skiing on you HEADS It was nice last night to put some faces to other PASR's You guys were fun and a blast to hang out with.....
  7. I was born at night but not last night

  9. its fun to do, I like to learn new things. IDK if i could still do it, I really don't move like that anymore
  10. Steve Catrell, 40yo virgin??
  11. Don't forget the poly shirt, gold chains and the exposed hair on your chest, you do have hair on your chest
  12. Not true inverted flips, more to the side cartwheel, t-drags, 180s, 360s, 540s, and I forget the name but ski with the tips going in oppsite directions, with different versions of that. Didn't stick to it too long though, the competitions started dropping the disipline about the time I started. I did one at BB, sugarloaf me, and loon nh around 87-88 i guess. Skied mostly bumps after that until I shredded my knee taking air in the bumps. Went back for a while but lost the nuts to go big and had to quit. Still love to ski bumps though, love skiing when its soft at mach 9, slicing the soft bumps in 2. Can and can't wait for some warm spring skiing.
  13. Don't know if there are any pic, but i still have the skis in my mom's basement. One pic of me skiing bumps on boomer in the phone book, had hair then
  14. Actually, I competed in ballet in the late 80's, still have the skis, don't know what happened to the poles though.........
  15. Ski, tucked it once on a pair of 191 gs skis was f*&kin movin! I was young, dumb, and full of cum back then. Doing that on my 160 supershapes would be insane and certain death, if not a definite ride in a meat wagon. As far as ice goes, I do not know much about the ski you are talking about but what I know about edge hold on ice, which ski mfg don't want you to know, is that the edge hold is more about your movements than the ski. If you are moving foward with your skis, it cannot slide sideways period. A ski slips sideways when you stand on the ski to slow down, push it sideways, or get in the back seat. It is a simple matter of the laws of motion. Here comes the haters....................
  16. I think they will start strong maybe next year or the year after. Construction of the water park, I think, is first on the agenda. I feel skiers will have to suffer at the start until they have completed all the construction projects. When all the construction is completed, look out, I think they will go full blast from the first cold snap.
  17. I heard on the PA from the lift a lot of "front side 900" they were getting out pretty good. they were getting on average of 4-5 hits. Talked to a guy on the lift from dunmore, Spicher?? He really liked the pipe, he said the plans for next year are to add about 100' to it.
  18. All I have to say to this one is, you don't know that you don't know, in fact, I know for a fact, that i forgot more about ski teaching that you will ever know. Besides teaching your kids, exactly how many people did you teach how to ski, and if you did how successful were you? And just for curosity, what credentials or certifications do you bring to make the statement that I don't know what I am doing?
  19. Yea, he took a good one, at least he wasn't bleeding, mom had a fit, she's young but she'll ajust. He went to the kindergarden nurse yesterday complaining that his chest hurt, the nurse was going on and on about a bug in the school until my wife had to but in and say he fell skiing. I was happy he jumped in there though, tough snow, he was good until the soft powder grabbed his leg. We went to boomer after that and skied until 3.
  20. What it comes down to is what you want to do on the mt. I, personally, do not like a ski wider than 70mm under foot. The ski is too slow edge to edge for me. I have skied for Atomic, Nordica, and Head as a rep. I skied all skis, its my job. It comes down to personal wants and needs. I need to ski the bumps, race course, powder, ice, everywhere all the time as/when needed. A 175+ ski with a 18 meter side cut does not appeal to me, fun to ski at times, but it does not do well in what I HAVE to do. POC wanted advice, I offered what I thought he should consider, its not gospel. He wanted info, I gave my 2 cents. BTW skiing backwards and holding a childs ski tips is one of the worst ways to teach a child. Not only are you killing your back, you are limiting the childs gross motor development for skiing. By holding their skis they do not have to control the skis. If you use a tip holding device, the child still has to control the skis and look where they are going, not at the back of your head calling out instructions. With a harness and leash, you can control their speed and direction and it is more like skiing for the child and less like a controlled walk
  21. It just says 10k. I know there are different divisions, events, and overall 1-2-3 male and female. I think the big part is that it is an oylmpic qualifier, if you place in one of the tour's events it qualifys you for the USA oylmpic events. I know it is run by USSA which governs all US ski and snowboard events.
  22. The tour is this weekend feb 29 march 1-2. I heard there are people calling from europe to come a compete in this event. It maybe the biggest event on the east coast right here at little old Sno Mountain....... Who would have thunk it
  23. I started both my kids early 18 & 21 months. At first holding a ski pole across my legs. Then as soon as they could stand, with resonable balance, I had them in a leash. It is by far the best way. You can run blocker for the scud missles behind you and if you wrap the right leash strap across the front of their body to the left side and vice versa you can control them without pulling their hip backwards. You can find skis on ebay or I know at Sno their is a bunch of development team parents who are handing down stuff or selling real cheap b/c their kids have outgrown the skis, boots and clothing. Kids skis as well as adults, as a rule of thumb, ski length should be between the middle neck and the tip of your nose. I would recommend a good all mt ski, Head's XRC 800 would be a good ski to tool around on. It has about a 12 meter radius at 163 and holds well on hard pack. I would research ski and boot to see what you would like. Shops try to sell what they have, not neccessairly what you need. Saw that one more than once. I don't know how far you want to go, but seeing a good boot fitter is a great start. They can tell you what lasts would best suit your foot. And they could also size you for the best fit. As a rule of thumb, people buy boots that are too big and too stiff. If you pull out the liner and slide your foot in until it touches the front of the boot, you should not have more than a 3/4" space fron your heel and the back of the shell. I recommend Bill Kaplan for boot fitting, he is doing things in boot fitting that nobody else is even thinking about.
