That didn't matter in Spaceballs... or did it... I can't remember right now... :confused:

What didn't matter, that you're short? I'm not really sure what Spaceballs has to do with anything. My post was a reference to Star Wars, when Luke goes to rescue the Princess while he's wearing the Stormtrooper getup and she says 'Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper', to which he tilts his head in a puzzled fashion until he realizes that he's wearing 40 pounds of armour... I guess what I'm trying to say is that you look like a young Mark Hamill in your white getup...

Oh wait, this isn't the Quote to Character game thread??? :dunce:

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:

i agree cause this is more the speed i was envisioning.

in all seriousness, if thats not a pic a split second before bailing, then there is some real nice carving action going on. maybe a bit more upper body lean then necessary but still......

If i tried that, i'd be dribbling my head off the snow.

One stipulation. Kids (I want to say 12 and under) can get away with the jester hat or other wacky hats. Makes them happy and easy to identify in a crowd.

Kids 12 and under..and everyone for that matter should be required to wear helmets..

I'm gonna leave the whole 'people should be required to wear a helmet' thing alone, that's for another thread.

They do make funny covers for helmuts you know. You can look like a jack-ass and still be wearing a helmut....

Go home and get some sleep! After you finish that video...

OOHH!! I'm having some very bad flashbacks to what I used to wear in the late 80's/early 90's and how cool I thought I looked at the time! :rolleyes:

Although I will goto my grave still saying that the electric blue and neon green Spyder race pants and matching neon green jacket and padded race sweater I had was cool! ;) The neon pink CB shell pants i had might have been a bit over the top, but the Spyder stuff was cool :roll:
