And for the record, from the picture Greg used to have as his avatar, I get the impression he can rip through the bumps.

And my suspicion that JimG is a very skilled and talented skier was confirmed at Cannon, even despite the big grease stain he got on his coat.

Did that ever come out Jim?

Improving. The pic in my profile was a result of a combination of a good digital SLR with a rapid fire sport mode, a particularly clean run, a good low-angle bump line, and a whole helluva lotta luck. I'm sure I don't always look like that. Consistency in the bumps is what I'll be working on this season.

OMG that was truly horrible! One of the lift towers must've dropped a huge blob of grease on a chair back and of course, I sat on that chair. Huge brown grease patch on my jacket. Looked like I had ducked into the woods for a dump and used my jacket to wipe.

Amazingly, I brought it to my dry cleaner who used a few cleaning chemicals to treat the stain, but then hand washed the jacket instead of completing the chemical process. It removed every bit of the grease stain and did nothing to compromise the jacket or its' water proofing. Jacket is as good as new. Cost me $11.

Brief? I was the focus of like, 4 out of the 5 sequences in that film. I think it was only because Andyzee liked filming my ass, as is evidence by that picture he took.

Marc, let's get one thing straight, I wasn't filming your butt. I was trying to film other things and you kept on getting in front and wiggling your scrawny butt. You don't even realize how close you came to getting knocked off the mountain. :roll:

I talk a big game... So I use stunt doubles for the hard stuff...

:)


I got into a huge argument with some people in Killington a few years back... I know a guy from Killington thats an ex-PoMogul skier... People worship him up there... But to me he's a guy that married a girl I know and i stay at his hose when I'm up there....
At a party a bunch of them were saying how great he was... And I told them I'd never seen him ski and couldn't say if he was great or not... A couple of these people had never seen him ski and were saying how great he was and I was telling them they were out of their minds....


I really don't trust anyone but myself when it comes to judging a persons ability...
