tex1230 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Sunday Morning, My second day on my Rossi (Thanks again Pat) I was finally getting the board figured out, having a great run, carving nice low turns... In the perfect spot on the mountain, Under the chairlift and next to the terrain park (with a contest happenning, no less) I blow out of aa heelside carve in some slush and proceed to do ass-donuts for about 50 yards... Got a big round of appause from the park and the chairlift... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I usually stand up and take a bow. Never give an encore though. It just makes 'em wait for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 laugh it off or learn how to do the turtle turns like bordy and them do, then just get back up and lay down some more rails! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 ass-donuts? as in ass turning around 360 on slope or as in ass-cartwheel ? Ive had those myself quite often, since I work at park. not too bad. I just get up and keep going and try to rail. I still dont have the balls to slam on the ground as I rail, yet.

RDY_2_Carve Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 My day isn't complete unless my a$$ hits the hardpack! I fell once Sunday @ Santa Fe on a catwalk! Both Mark and I got a chuckle out of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Maybe it's just me, but I don't think you can keep progressing unless you're taking some abuse from the snow. Anyone who's not slammin the slope at least once every time out is not pushing themselves hard enough. Go Big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 ... Murphy's law is having a bad injury during an epic season. (Knocking on wood - happened last epic season, please not this one too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar(angel Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I spent the better part of the morning on my butt this last Sunday and Rob and I agreed that even though it's tough on the body, you can't progress unless your willing to sacrifice your body every now and then. Testing the limits is how you find out how far you can really go. As precise as we'd like to be, we can't always pull back from the point of no return in time enough to save our butts. That philosophy had a pretty severe penalty when I was racing street bikes..... You know the old saying "if you ain't crashing you ain't racing" Have fun, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
