I got my phyics text for the year and on the front cover there is this picture from like 1991 of a guy busting through pow and dropping this small cliff. I got so excited I gave myself a rash. Here is a picture, sorry its small.

our high school physics book had a guy playing ping pong and it had a sequence so you caould see the path of the ball...it was great




Here, hold on a second...let me go kill myself and then I'll be right back.

I used that book too. Sadly it doesn't talk much about the physics of skiing. If you're really interested try 'The Physics of Skiing' by David Lind and Scott P. Sanders. One of the guys used to teach a class at CU Boulder with the book.

I havn't even opened the book yet... in fact, I don't even own a copy yet... I lied, it belongs to someone else on my floor.

Forgive me please.

My physics book has like 3-4 snowboarders on it doing grabs in the air. They all have on neon colored one pieces from the eighties. It's pretty funny.

Oh yeah, I found a picture inside the book today of a porcupine so my interest in the book was sparked again. Or something.
