Boys, you forgot your poles!

The Swiss get pretty ticked when you steal their girl!



Someone should have told Bond this was a "Slow Skiing" zone.
I'm really not very good skiing and carrying a machine gun

I really ought to watch some of those movies, the Zermatt scene was ahead of it's time. Pretty cool to watch, the real footage and then the obviously actor scenes, I like it.

How about listing all the ski stunt doubles for James Bond films where he skied.

I go first with the easy one.

Jean Claude Killy - On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Let me get this straight. The two guys on the motor cycles had to wear a helmet but not one skier on the slope wore a helmet. They must not have had helmet threads back then.

H'mm did James Bond ever wear a helmet on skis or a snowboard?

You're missing this one

So I guess it's safe to assume that becoming an expert level skier/boarder is just part of the standard training of becoming a 00 agent?

The skiboard stunt double for Roger Moore was Tom Sims who made the first skibaord in his 7th grade shop class.

The 1985 movie James Bond in “A View to a Kill.” was watched by Millions of people world-wide where they saw a snowboard for the first time. Time magazine would soon name snowboarding the “worst new sport,” thereby enshrining it with a “rebel” sport image. Snowboarding then grew world-wide like an epidemic.

The first one is what inspired Shane McConkey to do his cliff jumping with skis. He added the squirrel suit thing. It was a combo of these that got him killed. Old Tyrol binding that didn't release and sent him into a spin.

This one too.

Over 50 years of bond films, and the villains still can't shoot for sh!t

I'd like to see bond get hit, even if he is just grazed by a bullet, to show the audience that he's not invincible

Ironic that you mentioned that today, I never heard of him before, and I just turned on the TV and he was mentioned and shown in a Mazda commercial. Weird
