patmoore Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I only had my camcorder on Sunday but was able to capture some still images from the digital tape. Despite less than optimal conditions these guys were still able to rip it up! Elliott Ron Here's a short slow motion video clip I took of Ron. If it starts taking up too much bandwidth I'm going to have to yank it. Please right click on the link and "save target as..."

patmoore Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Has "Quads of Jelly" been taken? Mine were excrutiating on Sunday and I had only been riding two days! What a drag it is getting old.... Hip injury two weeks ago in a ski race. Shoulder injury a week ago boarding, and knee injury yesterday boarding..... I still have to get through the NASTAR nationals. It will be tough if I can't bend my knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Don't let Pat kid you....the man's a freakin' animal!! Pat...I was amazed at how much we had in common but I have one more question. Were you ever in Viet Nam? Miguel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi Miguel, I was an Airborne Weather Observer in the Air Force. My job was to jump in by helicopter the night before a planned airborne invasion and launch pilot balloons to determine wind for the airdrop. Fortunately I never had to do it in a combat situation. I had orders for Thailand but they were rescinded and I finished my enlistment stateside. It was great meeting you! I look forward to hooking up with you again.

He warned us to watch out for the rollers, but I didn't fully comprehend what he meant until I went over the bars and drove the point of my shoulder into the trail. I'm still hurting.

philfell Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 How do you guys do it???? No goggles!!!! Only sunglasses!!!! I'm my eyes are starting to water just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeremiah Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 It's all in the sunglasses. I wear contacts (rigid, i.e. hard lenses) and have never been able to ride with anything other than googles until late last spring when I picked up a pair of Oakley sunglasses that just fit perfectly. I had a gift card for Mt. Snow that was about to expire, was on my way to Stratton, and broke my sunglasses. Pulled into Mt. Snow, these were on sale, and were almost exactly the amount I had on my gift card. It was very sunny, so I wore the sunglasses on the lift, and forgot to put my goggles on when I started my run. I probably did 2 runs before I realized that I was able to ride without goggles. Since then I much prefer to ride with just sunglasses. I've tried friend's sunglasses, and these are the only ones that work for me. The actually do a better job of blocking the wind than my goggles (foam is wearing out) and unless it's a flat-light day, I wear my sunglasses all the time now. As for Ron, he's just a freak of nature. After watching him ride, I'm sure he would be fine with a twisted up coat hanger covered with saran wrap, riding a 2x4 tied to birkenstocks with baling twine.

Jeremiah I spend a bunch of time with Ron on the snow and you Called it right, He is a freak, I tell him that quite often :D You are wrong about the glasses thing with him, He is Very picky about the shades and I have Never seen him wear goggles in the 4 years I have ridden with him. On the other hand I bet he could dump turns on that 2x4, infact that has been one of my jokes to him, although we substitue the 2x4 for a Brick:eek: I hope to see you at stratton before the season is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I prefer sunglasses to goggles unless it's snowing or cold. Oakley Eye Jackets wrap around nicely and I find no problem with my contacts drying out or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWriverstone Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 With appreciation to pchang for posting the original, here's a tweaked group shot from Friday at Okemo (I tweaked levels and applied a touch of Unsharp Mask.) Sure would be nice to know who most of these people are! (I know about 3-4 folks in the whole shot.) If you were there, maybe you could point yourself out! I'm back row, 4th from left. Holly is back row, 6th from left. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
