Replying to US and THEM: A story about the fight at VAIL

Fighting is stupid, but sometimes you need to stand up and show people you dont give a fuck. Here is a piece I'd love to share with all of you. I just posted it in the regional, CO forum and thought I might as well put it in here. Take from it what you will. Peace. haaha, I said peace.

I got in a fight with a snowboarder last spring at Vail of all places. He was talking gangster and getting in my face. I was reluctant because he had at least four or five other kids with him. I said,I'm not going to do shit because then your boys are gonna jump in and kick my ass. He said, no, everyone stay out of this. I thought for a second and said fuck it. I grabbed him by the face and started tossing him (whatdya know, he was just another pussy.) Unfortunatly one of his 'boys' decided to step in and cold cock me with an elbow. I didn't even know what hit me. I didn't fall down or get knocked out, but elbows to the face hurt like shit. It broke my nose and chipped a tooth. I cracked my nose back into place and kept screaming at this kid. Then, ski patrol showed up. The kid started crying that when I grabbed his face I broke his glasses and threatening to sue me. I weighed my options and believe it or not, had to pay for the fucking kids eyeglasses. His friends ran off, simultaneously talking shit. hmmmm. I've hated anyone who fronts ever since then. These kids will never realize the kind of balls it takes to stand up and really be different.
