nolanr Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 I think I invented a new sport yesterday, I call it snowshoe jumping. Walked up the backside of a huge boulder, packed down a runway, then "Geronimo!" Jumped off several different sides, a little higher each time, probably 10', 12', 15'. Pretty fun. You could add backflips, helicopter maneuvers, etc. and it'll end up in the next Winter X Games on ESPN 2. Quote
Lambone Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 Is that the coolest name you could come up with? Come on...you can do better then that Quote
Lambone Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 Ok, I'll try... How about Bigfoot Boulder Catapulting... or Extreme Floatation Diving... Anybody else got one? Quote
jordo Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 I'm keeping a score of my longest world championship butt ski runs. So far my winner is 2100 feet continuous, unassisted slide, down the Roe Creek basin, north of Squampton. Its worth the trip up here to Canada just for the butt ski! Second to that is the way-fun ass grind on the Interglacier on Raineer. When its really slushy and everone follows the same line, there's this bobsled effect thing with this giant runnel that you cant get out of. Very cool, but not fast enough! Any other recommendations for the gluteous glissade? Quote
Lambone Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 Saw one of those "buttsled runnels" on the South Side of Adams this summer... just watch out for butt rash! Quote
jordo Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 Here's a good butt rash story: coupla years ago I was staying in a condo on the side of a resort in BC (BigWhithead, I think) in June. There was still hard neve on the hill, so my brother and I decided to go fer a slide. I took a garbage bag, but he got one of those Rubbermaid plastic things you dry your dishes on. We get to the top of the hill and launch but he gets going way too fast and can't stop. So he jettisons his mat and in shorts is going a good click and tries to stop. He burns the skin off his hands, but also COMPLETELY scrapes the skin off his ass! He's got his really hairy Chewbacca ass that he has to show the doctor in town to get bandaged up and he can't sit down at all (think shitting here!), has to lie in the back seat on the way home, and misses a week of work. So damn funny! [ 12-09-2001: Message edited by: jordo ] Quote
Dan_Harris Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 How about naming the sport Triple F, Freshie Flotation Flying. The Butt Ski run down Avalanche Gulch on Mount Shasta is pretty cool. It gets so worn in so it's like a bobsled run Quote
Dru Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 i did a 4000 foot butt glissade off silvertip once. snow was just too soft to boot ski but sitting down gave more surface area in contact and increased flotation enough to slide. took like 15-20 minutes, froze my ass numb and didnt wear a hole in my gore tex bibs for which i am thankful.

chris_w Posted December 10, 2001 Posted December 10, 2001 I did a butt slide down most of Mt Hood a couple of years ago. I beat my partner but my water bottle beat me down. I used to clip it to one of the pack straps. Now I use a locker on my water bottle. Luckily it stopped once we hit the top of the ski area. From there we butt slide down on the groomer tracks. I got going so fast that it felt like my ass was on fire. Once I stopped, I noticed that I partially melted my gortex pants. An expensive lesson in glissading. I would guess that we did 3000' of sliding. Chris Quote
haireball Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 after his fa of the Messner Couloir on Denali, Reinhold descended aforementioned couloir on Alaska's ubiquitous red plastic sled!!! I've seen the slides (photo-projection- type that is), taken by a NPS climbing ranger hanging out at the 14K basin, who thought for sure that he'd be packin' Reini's carcass out! What a howl!!! Quote
Dan_Harris Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 Back to Lambones challenge for naming this new sport, how about SHORT (Snow Hopping Off Rock Tops). I love SHORT women Quote

Dru Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 is that a porn site or what? im not gonna open it the net nanny they got on my computer gets pissed at that stuff. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted December 11, 2001 Posted December 11, 2001 Hhahah Drul is ruled by Net Nannie hahahahah Quote
jordo Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 OK Erik, that is the most fucked up thing I have seen in quite some time! Yes, hilarious in principle, but clicking on the gallery was a big mistake. No Dru, it aint porn, but if that shit --seeing a kitten shoved in a small glass cube --gives anyone a fatty or a smile, then, my friend, you're gonna have to plant yourself squarely in front of a large, fast moving object, and take one for the team! I'm thinking that the guy behind this probably has a large stockpile of weapons and fifteen-year-old wives in an underground bunker somewhere in Utah. Very strange indeed.

Lambone Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 Just as I was starting to think that erik was kinda cool, he's got to pull that shit out of his ass...Don't think you'll be coming back to visit my cats anytime soon you sick fuck, unless you want to get your ass superglued shut [ 12-12-2001: Message edited by: Lambone ] Quote
Figger_Eight Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 dude, that shits an internet hoax. Quote
Lambone Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 Yeah, no shit... I don't care, I will never look at my cats the same way again. I am already working on a Bonsai Box for erik... Quote

nolanr Posted January 7, 2002 Author Posted January 7, 2002 I found an even better sport on my last snowshoe outing: tackling my female companion and rubbing snow in her face. Quote
jhamaker Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 My favorite sport is to make the first ski tracks out of the parkinglot. I ski over logs, through streams, down cliffs, etc - then back to the parkinglot to see how many lemmings I have caught. I bet I could make a few bucks finding the lemmings and selling hot chocolat, maps, ski and pole splints . . . Quote
