GS_RACE Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Done for the season..... http://usskiteam.com/alpine/news?storyId=1694 just another sad event in the downfall of his career. Its really too bad, he has amazing talent and this season was a waste of it.
sibhusky Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Well, he's got this one year old daughter and a bad ankle. Time to rest and pay attention to her and his health.
zaldon Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 hopefully he returns next season, or the following season.
Racechick Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 14 seasons is a lot of racing especially at that level. I do love to watch him race but wouldn't blame him for retiring if that's what he's going to do.
Johnny Style Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I can understand why he would want to sit out the remainder of the season. However once August rolls around and the buzz of the media dies down he will be so itching to race again it won't be funny. More so now with the Olympics coming up in 2010. I know Bode says the Olympics mean nothing to him but he is so competitive you know he wants the world to eat a big shit sandwich when he wins the gold.
mbike-ski Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 alot of stuff going on there personally, physically, equipment , results etc - i can't say i'm shocked...i know people love to bash him but with all that and still being in the top 10 it can hardly be called a waste of a season gs. hope he's back next year. it's still fun - maybe more - watching ligety and vonn this season!

Ever since he ditched the US team to go independent, he hasn't been the same.
First Grade Teacher Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 Ever since he ditched the US team to go independent, he hasn't been the same. Uh..............................after he left the US team he won the overall WC! You are correct, there is nothing "same" about being the champion!
mbike-ski Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 i was thinking the same but wasn't sure, anyway these threads just aren't the same without ski, if you're out there lurking "wassup"...
GS_RACE Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Posted March 6, 2009 Uh..............................after he left the US team he won the overall WC! You are correct, there is nothing "same" about being the champion! not in terms of performance..... just the way he acts towards the public, FIS, and the skiing community in general. He became stuck up.
