ubkev Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 Slalom baby! That's my jam! Love me some technical skiing. Quote
darksabre Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Posted February 15, 2014 These skiers are insane. Or as I prefer to call them, Pre-cripples. Quote
ubkev Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 Or as I prefer to call them, Pre-cripples. Coming from the guy who likes having hard rubber flying at him at high speed in hopes of it hitting his body. Its all about the speed rush in Alpine racing. I've never been injured once in a race. Slope style and big air however; totally different story. I've been in a few toboggan's behind ski patrolman and snowmobiles on the way to the hospital. No head or back injury, but I've broken both feet and tore up my left knee a little. Oh and I almost bit my tongue off once. Quote

I'll stick with having rubber shot at me and also being able to walk :P Quote
Taro T Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 Know where I prefer? I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen Salmon to Capistrano? Sounds fishy to me. ;) Quote
Eleven Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Hey, Jo-jo: NBA slam dunk competition? NOT A SPORT. Three-point contest? Sport eligible. Feel better? (I hope so.) Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Absolutely TERRIBLE scheduling by NBC. Quote
Kristian Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Russian Vs. Slovakia still scoreless. Russian PP looking like the Sabres. Datsyuk on the puck, and 4 Russians standing DEAD still, watching. Quote
LGR4GM Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 In skiing, it just isn't there this year. And NBC isn't showing much of it, which is really disappointing. I really like watching some of the traditional downhill stuff. I agree. I wish more of the skiing was on. Instead it is tons of freaking figure skating which to me is the most boring Olympic competition. Quote
ubkev Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Shout out to Andy Weibrecht who I raced with for about 7 years when we were kids. Took silver in Super G to go along with his bronze from Vancouver. Kick ass! Its awesome to see a kid who kicked your ass in almost every race as a kid actually do something with his skill. Quote

He's the one from Lake Placid, NY, right? I think our group bus ended up an accidental participant in his hometown parade 4 years ago, lol. Quote

He's 100% chance to medal in every Olympics. Suck on that Colorado and Utah. Lol Quote

Eleven Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 USA curling, both sexes, is a blight. We need to fix this. Quote
Taro T Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 USA curling, both sexes, is a blight. We need to fix this. A good starting point would be a lifetime ban from international competition for anyone that gives up a 7 point end in international competition. That is shockingly bad. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 I believe this to be the main point of ice dancing... Quote
bunomatic Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 I believe this to be the main point of ice dancing... I agree.lol Quote
SwampD Posted February 17, 2014 Report Posted February 17, 2014 I believe this to be the main point of ice dancing... I thought it was the main point of life. Quote
