Its ok, you make up for it in the bumps.

Thanks. Quite honestly I don't even know how I look when I try to arc big turns because I do it so infrequently. It might be interesting to see a vid of myself trying to carve. I probably look like a gaper. It is fun every now and then though.

This thread is pretty sad. No one asked you to like everyone, but character assassination doesn't feel too inclusive to me. May give the board a bad rep too...

bump... :wink:



Just let me live my dream of being able to bully someone around. At 6 ft tall and 135 pounds the internet is the only place I have a chance to actually try be a bully. If I try this in real life I will get my ass kicked (unless I can manage to run away, I'm good at that)

Me saying I don't think GSS is that great of skier is not nearly as bad what other members have to said to him. Personally I couldn't care less if someone says I suck at skiing. It's just skiing, who cares. I do kind of suck at skiing. I can ski fast and use my age and athletic ability to make myself a competent skier, but my actual technique is pretty grim.

BTW: When is my ski off? We need to consult highwaystar on when he can make it since he is the official creator of it. Maybe I should just cancel my Chic-Chics trip so I make it the AZ day at Sugarbush... :wink:

You're funny, Austin. :lol:

Anyway, let's lighten up a bit. I don't think anyone is really being malicious here. I think HPD said it best:

Dude takes alot here, from me to, (cause I know he's lying about skiing WF), but he rolls with it pretty good. That's something.

I hammer the kid too, but only because (1) he asks for it and (2) I know he can take it. If you guys don't think that GSS is absolutely eating this attention up, you're kidding yourselves. I am honestly looking forward to skiing with him someday.

The big winner right now? GSS

While were chattin' on line he's out shreddin' the gnar at Blue. Even if he did for some reason suck at skiing, he's got all of us beat right now.

I was thinking the same thing.

Darn. I lost, I was at Wachusett this morning though it was pretty terrible.


Also, I don't really think GSS is that bad of a skier. I don't think he is as good as he thinks he is, but I bet he is about equal to me or slightly better. He def has me beat on the groomers, we're are both equally bad in the bumps, and I would guess I have a slight edge in gnarly terrain and woods. I just thought I would try to create some entertainment (try to make HPD and Jim proud) and it has work pretty well so far.
