Fanny Packs. I saw one guy with a really big belly wearing one. The fanny pack was stretched to its max. Looked pretty funny.

In general I do agree with you on the Fanny Pack. But my friend picked one up last season and it was pretty sweet. Not saying I would ever wear one, but it was cool.

I got one as a gift and it has water bottles on the sides. It's more like a small backpack that you wear on the lumbar area. I might use it in the spring as alternative to the Camelbak for carrying some fluids.

Those little black pleather "man purses" that some guys wear on their beer bellies are total gaper though. :lol:

I had something like that from EMS for hiking. Even had removable shoulder straps. For some reason, I thought that might be better for dayhiking. I pitched it recently.

I see it too. But you have to admit, the mad steeziness of that carve is surly something that can only be achieved by a divine individual...

The picture looks to me like it was taken during a fall, but if that was actually a carve then I'm impressed...

That's the best you got?? You can't be wearing the storm trooper outfit without having snappy comebacks... :razz:

Storm troopers don't have snappy comebacks. They couldn't even tell that those WERE the droids they were looking for.

Very true, I guess they are pretty dumb...

MRGisevil is a little short for a storm trooper though...

I agree with this one. If this is a carve, that is some serious G-loading snow treching skills display by GSS. I can't get that much carve out of my skis.

The "halo" is an camera aberation caused by the ludicrous speed GSS was carying when the photo was taken. Happens all the time in photography... check it out:

You'd have to be going pretty fast to generate that much force around a 50 meter radius turn though.
