Big moment!

That's awesome. Not only a helluva skier, but probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Huntah represent!

 

[2knees]

Not only a helluva skier,

damn, he better be to get away with those pants! :lol:

 

[Greg]

The real question is, is the base of that trophy hollow? And if so, why does he have it over that dude's head?

 

[deadheadskier]

I was trying to hit him so I could steal his medal. 4th place doesn't get a medal. Thanks for the good words. I'm still pinching myself. The judges finally let up on me for 2 days. We have lot's of video that I will post soon. Still plenty of bumping to be done. Shouild I put the picture on my avatar?

Check eBay for Predator Motion series pants. Brand new pairs show up from time to time.

Absolutely!

re: Predator bump pants...

Iceman's are totally shredded on the bottom, so he'll need new pants. But I'm not gonna buy expensive mogul pants any more for a few reasons...

1) The patch on the knee is too high. They need to really be below the knees, down to the middle of the shins at least

2) You can find regular pants much cheaper

3) You can choose whatever color you want to put the patch on. Most kids use pins, and I've also seen duct tape. A ski friend of ours who's got a lot of experience as a seamstress has actually volunteered to do a professional sew job for us when the time comes. That should be sweet.

I skied up to Iceman on Saturday morning. "hey are you the Iceman? Yeah so? I've seen your movies on Youtube, congrats on a great season"

I also saw he broke his skis right before forerunning, too bad, he was really upset calling them crappy skis.

Well, I get the impression that the Predator pants are pretty durable, but like anything else your mileage may vary. The Wolverine pants are what I have and the knee flag tucks away in a little pocket. They are positioned on the shin. Finally, I paid 40 bucks for them on eBay. I've seen them as cheap as $28.

out of curiosity,

what did you throw for airs and what did you think of the course?

Yeah - he actually broke one pair of the Lines on Saturday while slamming into a mogul. Then he ripped off the heelpiece from the other pair of Lines on Sunday - that was the damage you saw. The skis were good in one way because they are very light. They're actually wood core. But they're pretty thin and there isn't a lot of meat to screw the bindings in, thus the problem with the bindings ripping out.

One of the shops up at K (Forerunner) got a bunch of Rossi Bandits in, and the team coach is recommending them for all the kids who still need to stay with a Jr length ski. We'll prolly pick up a pair this weekend.

I'm sure you've seen this, but the new Hart F17 comes in a size as small as 148 cm:

It's the newest bump ski out there so you'll pay a premium for it.
