Have you skied with him?
No, but I'm assuming he's an average member of the online community as far as skill goes.

Given that all the knowledge anyone has of him is some backseat skiing video and some reports from JerseyJoey, I figure that's generous.

What would you pick for a ski off?

I'd pick hanging with my friends, skiing wherever and having a good time.

NEVER in my 25 years of skiing all over New England have I ever heard of such a thing. Stowe would be the place of I've skied the most since High School and there, where the skiing talent is FAR superior to that at Killington, nobody gives a crap who's the best. Sure there are ski bum races and other competitions, but a ski off? :rolleyes:

Honestly, if that's what deuche bags like you and highwaystar like to do and if others at Killington do the same wave your dick around non-sense, I have no desire to ski there. It's freaking pathetic and you all look like a bunch of two year olds.

You havent seen ski pig on t.v. have you? It is friendly competition amongst friends.
maybe you can watch it on youtube.
Done at killington? I thought it was supposed to be at sundown?
And lighten up francis, geez.
I am not a top 30 skier at K or anywhere else still a relative beginer.

Rest assured, most K skiers are cool. There's a little cockiness here and there, but even then they're genuinely good guys that just know they're good skiers and don't really hide it.

What HS doesn't realize is that no one's actually ever claimed to be a better skier than he is, that I can remember. Not because they think he's an awesome skier, but because they just don't care.

BINGO!!! We have a winner. Who really gives a rats ass who's a better skier once puberty hits? Skiing should be about freedom and fun. Who ever has the most fun wins!

what's the terms of the comp. i have a felling it would be close but DMC might edge it out. but i have never rode with either. i also have feeling that all of us one plankers are close in ability and would have a good time riding with eachother.

Naw... I suck... Badly tuned deck... Old school tricks.. Short attention span... Love of big lines over bumps... huh?

That would be a very uninformed assumption to make. But why not call me out for a ski off, if you are confident in that assumption.

Given that all the knowledge anyone has of him is some backseat skiing video and some reports from JerseyJoey, I figure that's generous.

Considering that I've been at Killington nearly all the days this season that you've been there, plus many more, I'm suprised that you haven't seen me ski. Infact, I bet you have, and you said to yourself,"Wow, now that's one of the top 30 skiers at Killington!"

Oh, and JerseyJoey has no idea who I am.

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

Hey genius. This theoretical ski-off was between Highway Gnar and mondeo, not me. I'm sure that Highway Gnar would school me on everything. He's one of K's top 30, after all. And everyone knows that bump skiers suck everywhere else on the hill...

I would like to see the ski off.
Does highwaystar need to get paid for an appearance or something?
You can change your skis can't you?

You don't understand squat.

You might be surprised. One thing I do understand is exactly where you fit in the complex Killington social scene. Two independent people basically told me the same thing... :lol:
