Things that are almost as steezy as skiing...

---Drinking a Guinness while listening to 80s music..

---One night stand where all you had to buy was a pizza and Miller Light..

---Doing the Running Man in front of the mirror while freestyle rapping..

Mountain biking. It's the only activity I've found that parallels skiing so well. Plus it's done in the off-season. Perfect!

Golf!!!

That goes without saying.

None of that is even remotely as cool as skiing. MTBing, on the other hand, is right up there with skiing.

Seeing as this is a family forum, I can't add to this thread what I think is almost as steezy as skiing.

I would mountain bike but I don't want to get injured and I hate having a wedgie..

Wimp.

A guy I know broke his elbow biking right before ski season..It's one thing to miss skiing due to a ski injury but missing skiing due to something else makes me nervous. I tried Mountain Biking in Montana and I don't like the high center of gravity. I am a wimp..and bike seats are so uncomfortable and make people sterile which might be a good thing for me..since kids are expensive..

Might be a good thing for the world, not just you.


BTW, you're doing something wrong or you have the wrong seat if it hurts you that much.

I haven't been on a bike in 5 years and before that 11 years but I remember the seats being narrow and uncomfortable..maybe like a wide seen would be better..like on one of those three wheel cruisers I see..

I'm mildly amused that the mountain bike geeks, I mean freaks, guess either will do, on this forum tend to be the stiffest critics of the turn earners. I view the activities as fairly close to the same. I admittedly was into a bit in High School, but I took every chance I could to go to Killington and ride the lift up.

I don't think I'm critical of turn earners, I hope to do a bit of myself in the not too distant future.

I love mt biking, but I gotta say, Golf is higher on my list. Its in my head and I can't shake it!

I'm not critical of turn earners. I'm critical of elitist turn earners. You know the "you're not core enough" if you don't do it group. Maybe I'm destined to become an elitist MTBer. Who knows?

All I know is that riding the steep learning curve on the mountain bike reminds me a lot of the first few (okay, maybe 10 ) years on skis. I really needed another outdoor obsession besides skiing. The summer funk I used to find myself in was not healthy.

oh, I think destiny is calling you greg :lol:


No, in all seriousness, good on you. MTB just doesn't do it for me for a summertime outdoor obsession. Body Boarding is a lot of fun, but doesn't come close to skiing. Someday I hope to pick up Kite surfing, that I think I would LOVE

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Kitesurfing looks like a blast. I'm surprised more snow skiers aren't waterskiers/surfers/skateboarders/skater types. Or maybe they are, but it doesn't get mentioned.

Have you tried it?

I consider myself pretty lucky to have ski buds to ride with all the time and some great places nearby to do it. If I was relegated to riding fire roads by myself all the time, I probably wouldn't be into it as much as I am.
