wayne Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Here is the latest work. The Climbing chart got me thinking there should be one just for the freshie heads. I apppreciated all the input and look forward to more on this one. Wayne web page Quote
fern Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Slalom is spelled like that I think you are missing some aspects of Snowboarding too. Quote
wayne Posted February 25, 2003 Author Posted February 25, 2003 So I "Muffed" the spelling! Snowboarders SPEAK UP!! Quote
JoshK Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Yeah, you've missed the various sub forms of snowboarding such as "sitting on ass in middle of runs" and "ruining all the fresh powder in one fell swoop" Quote
wayne Posted February 25, 2003 Author Posted February 25, 2003 Like traversing across the whole run? Quote
JoshK Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 traversing across the whole run is always a favorite of mine, but it doesn't hold a candle to the "falling leaf" technique of placing your board sideways and plowing down a steep slope taking all the snow with ya. Quote
MrDoolittle Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Where are the Bogneros and Aspen Fur Muffins in Escalantes? Quote
MrDoolittle Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Nobody better bid on these, I'm saving up, only $1000.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2713228670&category=36263 Quote
JoshK Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 WOW...that's all I can say about those. Quote
Alex Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 not to raise the question of whats *better*, but Telemark should not be on the chart. Telemark describes a form of skiing or a binding, not a subdiscipline (since I can do Super G, freestyle, Extreme Descents etc on telemark, downhill or AT gear, ....you get the picture) Quote
chucK Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 What about glissading? Y'know, butt, boots, crampons, trashbag, etc... Shouldn't lift skiing be broken into green circles, blue squares and black diamonds? Groomed, not groomed, off piste (I learned that term just today ), manmade snow, out of bounds, moguls, crap, rocks, twigs, ice? Quote

Fejas Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 You Forgot Jib... slopestyle for skiers... but it is called jib... Kids are making this sport huge, kids like Tanner Hall rock... Quote
klenke Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Hey, where's sledding and inner-tubing on the chart? I want sledding! I want inner-tubing! Quote
minx Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 i'm confused...no tele in the bc? you forgot "skiing to the bar" Quote

Not all us knuckledraggers pull this shit, but newbies will be newbies. I've definately seen newbie skiiers snowplow/sideslip their share of hills they're not ready for (like me at 11 ) And Wayne, what about the missing link from snowboarding to the backcountry and adventure?? Jeesh Quote

Jeesh True true...but the one thing that I have noticed is that beginning skiers are more limited in the terrain they can ride/ruin. Beginning snowboarders can pretty much tear up steep and deep on their second day using the patented falling leaf technique Quote
Alex Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 unless its icy, then snowboarders are just tearing up themselves without any technique Quote
erik Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 i still think it is soooo funny how everyone hates everyone else. even though the point is to have fun. i mean everyone. bad attitudes and a not me train of thought accross the board. any person cryinf about lift service skiing...is well um deserving of everything they get. and at $50 a pop, that is an expensive bitching session. nice work on the chart again wayne!!

JoshK Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Yeah, it's why I expect little or nothing from lift skiing any more. If I want good turns I go backcountry. Quote
