Like Ballet on skis? Make sure you take some video of you practicing. Personally I don't think I'm nearly flexible enough for that.

yeah. Just tryin to lighten the mood a bit here... humor is best. I don't have anywhere near the flexibility to do that either... But the Iceman and his buds like to make some of the moves when they're skiin on the flats. Who knows?

There's some pretty cool shots in The Edge of Never of Glen Plake doing some ballet.

Plake busts out the ski ballet at least once an episode on "Reel Thrills". God bless that guy for keeping his career alive over such a lot period of time. You just don't see skiers doing that much.

Holy shit...who can read all of this?? I have no idea what happened yesterday, so I'll just attempt to keep the focus on skiing and insert some Challenge stoke.

I hear ya. Some people can do some amazing stuff on skis. It's fun to watch sometimes, but not really for me.

I thought this crap was supposed to stop when the snow started to fall?

An instructor once told me, whatever you can do on skis is a good thing, and will help your overall skill level.

I've thought about trying to learn some of the easier moves, but I don't want my friends to laugh at me. Especially when I fall. :dunce:

For real????

Get your eyesight checked. You're blind Andy if you think people are blind to this.

DHS, I was trying to make a point with that thread. The fat guy was populating NS with a bunch of role call threads (nothing wrong with them) like are often seen here. To me it was like GSS was trying to turn NS into another AZ. I like AZ and I like that NS is a different kind of place. There's a place for both.

Obviously we have some differences of opinion here. Some folks thing there may be a bit too much censorship and control here. Others think some folks are just trolling and trying to start trouble. So, here's my challenge, bring it to nschat.com where you can debate to your hearts content without fear of retribution or being banned or having your thread deleted.

Nah, didn't think so..

I'm confused- what, precisely, is the challenge here? Are you daring everyone to have a debate on nschat? Why? Is it that difficult to have a conversation there? Seems pretty easy to me if you can do it without fear of retribution etc.

Maybe I just don't get it. No, strike that. I absolutely just don't get it.

Yes, but, you're stupid.



I have nothing further to add.
