dr. sandman Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 OK, I was pretty sure it was recycled..... and was also wondering if it was Jim C. (in fact I searched for his avtar before posting but he changed it ) Funny thing is that this came via a fwd. fwd. fwd. fwd. fwd.....etc. email of 'funny pictures' from my bro-in-law who is so far removed from the carving community it isn't even funny!! Way to hit the mainstream carver!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 ...but how is his form? at least his knees are apart, or Bordy and a few others would have a heart attack and launch into a lecture about how he's holding everyone back. that playground toy is WAY outdated though.

Gecko Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Speaking as one of the "few others" the picture does illustrate the motorcycle "road racer" knee on the ground style. There are a lot of motorcycle riders on this forum and if you have ever been lucky enough to go to a track day and "drag" your knee along the pavement (on purpose) it is an exhilrating experience. You never forget the first time your knee slides along the pavement (wearing sliders or knee pucks). The exact same thing can be accomplishes on a snowboard. Come on..............give it a try.............dont knock it till you try it. Thanks. The thing is that even as motorcycle form it sucks....look at the angle of the Panda...it's not very leaned over yet the knee is scrapping...in the words of Keith Code he's reaching for the pavement. In the carving world he'd be guilty of reaching for the snow. Now I have dragged a knee a time or two but only on a track and at the time I didn't notice it because I was so into getting around the track...of course after the fact when I noticed the scratches on my pucks I was stoked...

dr. sandman Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 While the good humor is much enjoyed and encouraged, as is the constructive advice/discussion/opinion, I don't recall anyone asking for a flame-fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I think the term "carvemaster" may leave a bad taste in some people's mouths here. Like sucking on a lemon while someone is trying to play thier tuba in the thread parade. Nice going D, Bordy is now fully heated and not apt to hand out any carving pearls of wisdom here over pitchers and shots since the sarcastic smartess at the end of the bar wants to heckle. knuckleheads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. sandman Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 suggestion respected: give it a name ok, edit done for the sensitive palates, respectfully. can we have fun again? edit: just for the record, in the original naming of this thread, I had no intention of suggesting any likeness or any association whatsoever with a certain likeness of the thread name. Just bad coincidence. My foopah. Respectfully, Dr. Sandman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I wasn't thinking that I was looking at the photo and thinking that my trackday instructor would be saying the same thing to me as a carving instructor would if he/she saw me reaching for the ground but hell if people are sensitive then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke, bro. You take yourself way too seriously. Honest to god it was a JOKE funny ha-ha. Your input rocks, except when you're tearing people a new ---hole for reasons known only to you.

Erik J Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I've been laughing at this thread from the first post. Like a blind taxi cab driver on a frozen lake - which way will this thread turn next? My favorite part was by far the panda riding critique.... ...I'll ride my panda however I want.

Pow Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 What you can't tell from the picture is that the kid he was racing pulled in on the turtle 30 seconds before, and is now busy climbing to the podium in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
