I'm officially a NASTAR member! :lol: I'm going to try a run this afternoon. I want to see how I compare on my completely untuned bump skis against all the uber racer types. :lol:

Nice! But man, at least break out your 8000 for the NASTAR race. NASTAR courses are nearly straight lines at most mountains but the side cut of the 8000 will definitely play to your advantage over a straight bump ski.I'm officially a NASTAR member! :lol: I'm going to try a run this afternoon.

whats next?? maybe a bike with those curly bars??
More accurately, it is heavily modified combo of giant slalom and slalom slalom ski racing. Courses average times of only 20-30 seconds using perhaps a dozen or so gates whereas actual slalom runs are over one minute in duration (at professional level speeds, no less) and many times over more gates. Gates are set so that even never evers (racing) can finish easily, if not with a respectable time. No elements of normal racing, especially slalom, are present such as unders and flushes and most especially difficult gate placement, knolls, and air hills (except at the NASTAR finals).Basically it slalom ski racing.

Ok, not to sound too dumb here but, what is NASTAR??
OMG, has hell frozen over????
Who are you and what have you done with Greg?
If Greg ever Dawns the full body spandex racing suit I will personally snack some sence into him.
Well? Where's the NASTAR trip report and video?
Quick and dirty TR: I SUCK!!!! :lol: Scored a bit over 30 seconds. Might have to do with the fact that it took me probably five seconds to get out of the stupid starting gate. :lol: Bump skis were sliding all over the place. I needed 4 seconds better to grab a bronze. Monti in the finish shack was nice with the announcement though, congratulating me on a good first run. :lol:
