Riding an F2 Silberpfeil 162, I got a compliment from a skier last weekend 3/8. I was laying stomach down facing uphill in the middle of the trail to watch another carver on one of my boards I loaned out. He skids to a stop and has that look like he was going to ask a question or say something. So I speak up first, "I'm not hurt, I'm just laying here watching some snowboarding technique". His reply was "I just want to say that I've been watching you from the chair and trying to catch up to you. You're probably one of the best snowboarders I've ever seen. I really enjoy watching you turn, it looks so graceful and powerful at the same time."
Damn, I was not expecting that. And I won't lie, it felt good to get a compliment.
