Siren 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I don't disagree - it's just that skiing looks old and boring. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 fakie 1080 off axis old and boring Ive yet to hear of a snowboarder even try that. Skiers not owning big dogs? I know lots of guys with avie dogs and they arent small. PS they dont snowboard much either. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 He Siren, where have you been the last couple of years? The only gay skier I know is Richard Gay (3rd place moguls SLC Olympics). They didn't come up with the 'gays on trays' slogan for nothing. Link to post Share on other sites

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Listen, skiers would not have half-pipes, twin-tip skis, baggy pants, side-cut, much less the chance to even dream of off-axis fakie 1080s if not for snowboarding. It may not be fakie, but check out Travis Rice in this years movie "pop". A double corked 1080 over a 130 foot gap ain't too bad either. Besides, you guys always stick your ass out when you ride fakie in my house we call skis 'misery sticks' Link to post Share on other sites
neurozoo 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 Is Oyuki the only other boarder besides me? I'd like to see Fattwin's proof on those X-Game statistics.. is that just word of mouth? rumor among the ski world? hey, if it's true, won't make me envious or angry... is skiiers can use our half-pipes, the we should be able to use the olympic long jump! (but of course we would rock the event into a big-air, drunken craze) Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I love how this thread has totally been hijacked. Instead of hating on crazy japanese trends, we can hate on each other. Rad! Link to post Share on other sites
powda tele 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 As George Orwell said: "Two sticks good. One stick bad." (Animal Farm) Oh, you forgot that us skiers wouldn't have parabolic skis if it wasn't for snowboard technology, and you forgot to call me a beard stroker. I always ski with a snowboarder, and we have a friendly rivalry in this area. It's all an excuse for lame humour. But I like what K2 said: "Telemark - If it were easy, it'd be called snowboarding." Now's your chance to start a whole new thread dissing telemarkers as 'granola munchers', etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 side cut skis would have come snowboarding or no snowboarding. 1080 off axis cool but that be one pro doing it. every ski pro can do it plus try a d spin over that same gap 2 spins with a flip done by a kid only 17 years old now that is balls. I like this thread it releases my no snow stress. Ps ill ride with anyone cause in truth I really dont care what you use Link to post Share on other sites
neurozoo 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 wHAT ARE "SIDECUT SKIIS"? like an asymmetrical board, deeper side cut on one side than the other? I started out skiing.. my first skiis were these solid wood Norwegian things with straps.. technology-less ahhaa Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Next time you snowboarders are lying there injured out in the back country and look up to see the SKI patrol coming to ferry you safely off in the banana boat, just remember – snowboarding ski patrollers are next to useless in off-piste conditions. Two legs = two sticks. Facing forward and standing relatively upright – it’s simply a degree by God! (Gee, thanks for the senseless commercialisation too … AKA baggy pants. $$$$ ... ski's always had a degree of sidecut! ) On the positive side though – snowboarding brought women back into the mountains … being a mountain man myself, I just love mountain women! (Apologies for the unpolished innuendo – having our office Christmas party at the moment … hic.) Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Since i can't respond to all of your keen logic, i'll just tell some more jokes. How can you tell who is the ski instructor at a party? Don't worry, they'll tell you. And whats the difference between a snake and a ski instructor riding in front of his students? On a snake, the asshole is in the rear How many skiers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 6. One to do it, and the other 5 to stand around clinking their poles, saying "nice turns" ha ha ha?

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Oh, and i can't hate on telemarking. That stuff is rad. And please guys, if you guys are going to air out and grab your skis, lose the poles, ok? Link to post Share on other sites
