best skier in hakuba 5 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I remember my first time on a lift. Luckily the place was not busy! It was one of those collapses as they get off cases. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 you should try it being a noob boarder....all sorts of craziness!! I was once caught between the chair and the snow and dragged around the wheel until the lifty cut the power then had to untangle me from the chair! Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Some of those are classic, though I'd have to agree with TB - they're a nightmare when learning to ride!! In fact I still have at least one embarrassing dismount every winter! Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I had a ``no reason at all'' fall coming off a detachable quad a couple of seasons ago. Very red-faced! Fortunately, I didn't take down anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I had an awesome one this weekend. Boarder son swaps to skiing, and goes up the special slow moving beginner lift to the beginner slope to test out his fancy new equipment. I go with, for the company. When we get to the top the liftie lass looks at us like we are 5 and asks if we know how to get off. We both laughed and I said "I do, but it's his first time" - well...technically it was... She starts to give him instructions while he laughs and says "nah she's just kidding we are alright, cheers" We get off, all is fine. I change the pressure through the board to turn and realize my new shiny slippery board does not have a stomp pad and I have not accounted for this. Right foot flies forward like I am Bruce Lee, and I end up firmly on my arse. Of course in the background I hear "whose the n00b retard now, Mum?!" as the cocky little git skis off perfectly.

muikabochi 208 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Definitely. And cut back on his allowances. Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ha that made me laugh. Had a few tangles myself in the early days. But we could be much worse off with lots of old lifts and t-bars. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 ummmmm dude, somehow I don't think it's supposed to run in reverse http://youtu.be/D8rXiN_Oys4 Link to post Share on other sites
Zer0star 0 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 omigod that is hilarious! was only able to watch about half of it cause i can't hold back the laughter (at work)!!! a few of the people there look quite Japanese. I love the one where the people stayed on the lift after the people in front went down! and the one where the guy is hanging onto the lift for dear life! Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I hate T-bars and Rope Tows with a passionBoarder! Ditto. I was grumbling the other day 'rather not go there, too many t bars' and Papabear just rolled his eyes and said 'FIFTEEN successful t bar rides in one day ....remember that?!'. Somehow that memory pales into comparison with the embarrassment of the other days where the the t bar ate me up and spat me out! Link to post Share on other sites

Sciclone 2 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I hate T-Bars as well. Usually they are on poxy runs but you need to use them to get back to somewhere, and right at that moment of time, you start losing all balance and your knees start playing up. I've used them enough times with success, but the thought of stuffing up and having to beat up a smarmy skiier who's mouthing off fills me with trepidation. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 They would be easy to beat up as they would be bent over peesing themselves laughing Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think they will always make me tremble with fear, but having just returned in the wee hours of the morning from a couple of weeks in the Aussie Snowy's I am proud to say I was not claimed by a single t bar. Victory was mine on this occassion. Link to post Share on other sites
