C'mon, Hot Dogging came from the 70s. :spread:

Wayne Wong would school Franz.. But Wayne Wong would probably get yelled at for some of his out of control stunts by some on this thread..

Yielding right of way does not mean stopping until all downhill traffic clears the hill. Going back up the thread, why do I ski bumps a line off where people are standing? Because I can do it safely. Even if they do decide to ignore their responsibility according to the (apparently entirely black and white?) code and stand in the middle of a trail, then decide to start moving without checking uphill, I'm a good enough skier to bail on the line while being aware enough of the entire trail to not bail into someone. If they do their part and not move, I'll pass 5 feet from them without putting them in any danger whatsoever. Might spook them a little bit if they aren't paying attention, but that's their fault.

But no, you want to put a one size fits all restriction on everyone. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, then no one should. Personally, I'm calling BS on the snowboarder actually running over your skis. You're just finding ways to complain about how anyone younger than you is automatically dumb, fat and inconsiderate, just like the cranky bastards in the generation before you.
Wow..you do alot of guessing wrong! Your hyperbole and semi strawman posts are wrong. Your interpretation of the rules WRONG. Do you even ski? It sounds like your just learning or just never learned the code.

i've never heard of the guy before but a quick google came up with this-

“For me, it was never about trying to prove that I was the best. It was about sharing the joy and excitement. It was about entertaining people while showing the possibilities of what can be done on skis. Most importantly, skiing is about camaraderie and family,” Wayne says.

You drive the speed limit in the left hand lane and curse out everyone that passes you on the right, don't you?

For someone that gets cranky about kids these days, you should probably brush up on your grammar to really fit the part.

Also, if the landee is stopped in the blind spot of a 40 foot booter when he gets landed on, it's their fault. Period. Maybe someone should brush up on the code.

He was an instructor in the mid seventies at Waterville. I think his "famous" move was planting his poles and doing a front flip and maybe wheelies - riding his tails. :)

Safe
When men were men and nobody wore there pants around there knees.


where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.....


on a serious note, i was talking to someone about the pant thing the other day. You just don't see that as much as you used to. looks like another bad fashion trend has gone away.
