I'd lose a ski-off against just about anybody. I don't have ACLs. I keep the speed dialed back at all times.

i dont have an ACL in my right and from what i can tell as long as you keep your legs tone you dont need them. i lost mine in 93. granted i dont drop fifty footers anymore but i still ride pretty hard. i actually ride faster than i did pre 93 freeriding. i dont do downhill anymore but my gps said my average was about 60 mph last year so i will call it at about 45 or 50. its all about conditioning.

Mondeo has to call me out (in a separate thread). I'm waiting.....

FWIW - if this ski-off happens in the bumps, my money's on Mikey Moseley. From what I understand, you couldn't hold a candle to about half of the Sundown flat bumpers.

You don't understand the concept of a skioff do you?
All you want to do is race in the bumps, Your strong point in skiing. This would make you a smart tactician- play to your strong point, but a ski off will even the playing field out.
Say you win a bump run against highwaystar- great for you.
So highway star will get a letter- let's say L for lame. or an F for fail.
Well now it's highwaystars turn to pick a line.
I bet he wins the next one. Then you would have to pick a new area. Can't do a bump run again, it's been done. You can't be a one trick pony and win a ski off.
Based on the fact that highwaystar has the balls to consider himself in the top 30 would mean he is at a very high level and would be difficult to beat .
If a ski off has four letters then it would involve 4 areas.
Bumps
cliff dropping run
slopestyle
chinese downhill. head to head-no rules.
I would pay to see that

:blink::blink::blink:

From what I've read, all HS has the guts to do is claim on an Internet forum that he is in the top 30.

Who has skied with him and can back up that claim? Anyone...please speak up...

The claim is that he's in the top 30 at K-mart...

All I would like to know is if an AZer has skied with him and can back up any claims on his skiing ability...

Good point, but you ski killington. you see the quality up there.
For him to even put himself in that category would mean he is at an advanced level, no?
I'm willing to give him being an advanced skier. But that doesn't make him any better a skier than 50% of the other people on this board.
