smellyfeet 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 What's with the "Are you ready..sssssssssssssssssssss?" I couldn't work that out! They were fun to watch though. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yeah, that got quite annoying didn't it! Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Thought the same myself. Sounded almost Japanese. I know some guys who seem to put a few hisses at the end of comments. Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to put this in as well this morning You'd think the guy could come up with something else to say I would have hated to be at the bottom listening to that every single run Link to post Share on other sites
sock_monkey 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 'racer ready?' is the standard for alpine races, but i guess they aren't technically racers so they get 'are you'? the hiss is just weird though. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hissing talkers are very strange. It was starting to annoy me as well that. Link to post Share on other sites

Mudguts 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Good work with the vid Bushpig! That looked an awesome effort. Even though he speaks with a north american accent we'll take him! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Well he moved to Aus 6 years ago and went thru high school there, so it isn't quite a sports defection. And of course we'll claim him! After all, Australia is a country of immigrants! Although NZ can have Russel back Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Apparently one of the Japanese athletes (although it could have been someone in the media) said that the Japanese athletes haven't done well because of the food! Typical! They said there has been nothing but pasta and bad chinese food supplied. Come on! Aren't these guys used to touring around a bit and getting away from Japan?? What a load of bollocks!

SKI 15 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 No it's not the food. They were talking on the news today that the reason the Japanese athletes have not done well is because foreigners are taller. So now you know. Link to post Share on other sites
its-a-clock 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Isn't it something to do with the seasons as well? (Japan having 4 and others not). I'm sure that must have something to do with it as well. And of course Japanese snow is different. Link to post Share on other sites
uggggllllyyyy 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Probably racialist too, becos most of the foreigners are white and so is the snow. hmmm Link to post Share on other sites

I agree Letting them do inverts was a big step in the right direction More young kids are probably going to stay in moguls because of that Now if only they'd ban daffy, twister, spread combos it would be even better Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Luge looks like a killer this time. I thought all you had to do with luge was lie back, let your toes wobble about, and enjoy the ride. But no. It seems some skill is involved (this time). You have to avoid rocketing up the side too far, smacking the lip, falling off your crate, sliding down the chute like a dead fish, and being carted off in ambulance. It's very exciting.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Like others have said Im sure its cuz theyre on foreign snow. Japanese snow is only suitable for japanese and vice-versa. I love luge,skeleton, etc too. The crashes can be spectacular Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The luge B\sled course in italy could in fact kill someone. The moguls are pretty cool now but 20 secs? I want to see a longer course with 3 jumps now thats a comp. Link to post Share on other sites
