Lets see YOU on that course haha, dude i envy your ability to get out there and race, no question. But that trail is all to familiar to me (maybe you should ski at blue more ) i practice on that course "mentally" all the time. I even have people be pretend gates for me on the headwall. I think being comfortable on the trail helps. On sunday, that was only your 5th and 6th time on Razors? Its got alot of different pitches....

skidude Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Well it is different when 100 people (like mike) all go down around the gates before you and it gets a little rutty. And your there racign and everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skigurl Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 i wanna see you race atomic, all my friends thought i was the best b.c i could go fast, and do like any trail at CB, but as soon as you put gates on it, it's a whole different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Well it is different when 100 people (like mike) all go down around the gates before you and it gets a little rutty. And your there racign and everything yea, especially after it just rained. That trail can really get nasty towards the end of the day, and i expect thats how it was. And they set the first steep pretty tight. Even free skiing with it nasty, you got tossed around. Not a bad finish dude of the ski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidude Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Jibs as in rails...Or umm Jumps...Or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick malozzi Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 snowboard lingo lesson: jibs=rails hits=jumps huck=throwing urself off a jump and flailing in some way to obtain a half ass trick (aka no style). boned: keeping a leg straight during a grab rolling down the windows: when u go off a jump and make circular motions with ur hands to keep ur balance. sketchy=looks bad. and many many more that i am too lazy to type.....

Ski Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Skidude has his edges tipped nicely and is working a two-footed carve in about a 50-50, which would probably be 60-40 or more in the next frame. He's begun his comma shape, but it'll get better when he forces those fists forward and keeps from letting the left arm from lagging. He has a good lean into the gate, trying to put his belly button into the snow over the uphill ski. The only thing truly missing is the balls-out aggression. You "get it" skidude. And when you trust that downhill ski to carve and increase the forces on it, your turn will look more like Mike's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On challenge on the headwalll, i make such rapid, hard aggressive moves. Maybe i shold start kicking the crap out of skidude, and stop when he starts fighting back, that might get him mroe aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) By all means, kick the crap out of him! Beatings are a good thing! But like skigurl says, some racers just go brain dead when they are in a race. In football, you get killed if you start thinking; in ski racing, you get killed if you STOP thinking. Racers get fast when all things come together. It's a lot of shit that has to line up and it's only the kids with absolute determination that ever get there.

skidude Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Jeff I could cruse down that race and still beat you Anyway jib Thats what I thought but I actully respect my gear, so I am staying away from them. Someone told me ski edges last 500 feet on rails or 5,000 miles on snow. Anyway Ski I don't know why I didn't go balls out...But I will by the end of next year (I hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The huge difference in brands is really apparent here from back East. For non-racers, I'd say the biggest brand here is K2, then Rossignol, at least in skis.

Justo8484 Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 seems like the blue mtn kids always do real well on their home course. razors is not really comparable to anything else in the poconos in terms of length at least. and warren miller is the last person i would trust when it comes to jibbing. i have slid well over 500 feet worth of rails and my edges are dull, but they are still there.
