that's not the stupid part.. I think it's pretty smart to wear one, but everyone is entitled to do what they want.. I was laughing because he was like oooh, I'm so goood, why would I need one?!! and he's definitely not.

So my friend and I are on the lift with this Father/Son Gaper duo.
Here is a sampling of his finest quotes.

Father: "Woah, that guy just did a 420.  Thats what you call it, right?
               A full circle with a 180.  Thats 360 plus 180.  So its a 540!"

After spotting a group of Asians.
Father:  "Do not go up to them and yell BONSAI !!  Thats politically wrong.
Son:  "Why is that dad?"
Father:  "Its like calling a black guy n*gger.  After what we did to them,
    bombed them and all that, you just can't say it anymore.  You can
    say it about them, just not to their face."

After getting off the lift he leads his son down the park and does the most
spastic back scratchers and spread eagles.
"Follow me, Follow me.  Over this jump, spread eagles TOGETHER!!!"

We were trying to hold it in the whole time.  The guy was a riot.

worthless piece of info for ya...

360s are actually called helicopters (generally abbreviated to heli(s)) in freestyle waterski jumping...(like the shit you see at sea world, etc) but 7s are still called 7s......so that's why you might hear the term "helicopter" on the mountain.

And maybe because that is what people use to call them back when bump skiers were the only people doing tricks...like in the 70s, that is why old people say helicocpters.

I overheard a kid on the lift talking about glades and he was wondering how they were made.  His friend says that they were made by animals running through the woods.

Gapers in lift line ahead of me:

Guy 1:
"I don't think it is safe for me to be going on this run."
His "experienced" friend
"Don't worry. The faster you go, the easier it is to turn."


Standing in line wearing my bad lieutenant:

Gaper mom with her kid:
"Is that a german army helmet?"
Me:
"No, it is modeled after US military helmets."
Gaper mom:
"Do you support the Nazi's?"
Me:
"Only when I am skiing backwards."

gaper " wow, why do you have two different skis on?"
me " I dont. they are the same"
i show them that they are the same tip of one ski and tail of the other..

or still about my skis
gaper" did you put your bindings backwards on that one ski to make them different"

gaper "do you do those metal sliders"?

or especially, this one drives me fucki insane

gaper "how fast do you go for that bottom jump"?
me " what"?
gaper "yea i can do the first jump but then how much speed do you need?"
me " what the fuck am i supposed to tell you, should i give you a number or like say when you pass the fifth tree and then the sixth tree exactly .7 seconds later, you are going to slow.."
fuck what the hell do i say to that?

o fuck and the best of all,
nancy green the olypmic ski racing champion from like 50 years ago skis at our hill and is the director of skiing.. she is the biggest bitch , a fuckin drunk whore.. and she always skis around with tourists being a really useless piece of work...

and i work at the park at our hilll and she comes in all the time at the end of the day with all her gaper tourist cult followers.
nancy" wow you just doing such a great job in here guys so its great, i just love the park this year"
me" umm thanks"
nancy" (talking to her gaper buddies) we would hit these jumps but as you can see they are closing them and we dont have our helmets on"
me"( in my head am like, yea fuck it nancy send it i will keep it open for an olympic champion)"

or during a big snowboard contest
the announcer for the contest says
" o and i big 900 out of so and so"
and nancy rolls up and says " was that a 900!!!!!"
me " fuck"

or like " we should just stop building terrains parks here and build a snowboard and skier crosss. those will bring in more money cuz we can have races and stuff and then we can have a skier and boardercross program integrated into my nancy green race program"

FUCK YOU NANCY

a kid at my school is apparently a really good snowboarder. his binder says "jib lyfe" and "shred" and hes all decked out in like DC stuff.

well for the first 2 years of highschool he was never spotted on the hill. then one day my friend was at at rail jam and saw him there. the next day he was in class and my friend mentioned that he saw him at the ski hill. so i talked to him

me-"hey dude, curtis said he saw you at the rail jam"
him-"yeah its pretty epic right now, why werent you there?"
me"i was at sunshine for opening day, so how did you do?"
him-"oh i couldnt go into it they said it was full, so i just hit the jumps"
me-"uh cop doesn't have any jumps right now only a couple rails"
him- no they built a hip, i was just dicking around with some 180's and spins and a couple front flips, just steezin"
me-"cool...."

well he put his facebook status to "steezin on the hip" and talked about getting sponsers and stuff i guess it turned out that he was hitting the side of the wallride to flat, and doing sketch straight airs like 3 feet off the ground.

i called him out on it and now he says he quit snowboarding and stuff, its good though cause i dont have to talk about gear with him anymore.

wow i just typed like a novel on this

Park City over x-mas:

I will laugh when you get put in a coma for a month... no  i wont.. but you should still wear a helmet when doing things where you could fuck up your head badly.

just saying this cause i was skiing with this guy in austria who was really sick (switch cork 9 true nose over 70 footer) and on one hit he just kind of caught his edge and whip lashed his head against the ground, knocked out cold, coma, had to be airlifted off the mountain. i know skiing without a helmet looks cooler but it really does save your head. anywho not tryin to preach, do whatever you want, but after that happened i always wear one when i go in park now.

on the lift with a snowboard kid at sunapee like a week ago, he had some dope crowbars that has "eastern" or something on em, which started the conversation

me: hey, i like your crowbars, man
kid: thanks, i got em for free, im sponsored by eastern boarder
me: hey thats cool
kid: so are you good at skiing?
me: im not bad, not the best tho
kid: can you do a back flip?
me: (wow its about he asked that), nah dude i cant
kid: o, that sucks.

later i saw him try to 5050 a down rail and fell on his ass after going less than a foot
but hey at least he gets his shit for free

I was up with a buddy of mine who is a gaper ( he's new ) he said when you grab the front of the ski (truckdriver) it looked like a sex position.

I just said he was gay and pushed him over.
