Hello, My name is Nate and i'm addicted to skiing. ("hi nate!")
I know I have a problem. My mood shifts when I don't get to ski. I am constantly seeking out more intense experiences. I search for deep powder even when I know it can slide and bury me. I Jump off the biggest cliff I can find, because the small cliffs don't give me the same rush anymore. I try to progress my spins, and other tricks to superhuman levels, but often i find myself injuring myself as a result. These injurys put an emotional and economic strain on my loved ones, but because of my addiction, I always come back to skiing with the same furious approach. I have left friends and family members in the bitter cold so that I can get my fix by myself. Its time to put this to a stop!
Well played sir, well played...
and Aspen, Im living proof you can do both haha
every year, more people die through falling coconuts than through terrorist attacks (maybe not the last few years ;) ). so i guess the US should definitely get their troops out of iraq and afghanistan and send them to distinguish costa rica, honduras, kenia and mozambique, which are main producers of coconuts.
you could pretty much argument with anything over everything if you wanna. i think this scientist made the most out of his abilities by getting such a great discussion on a freeski-forum. i am sure he couldnt even dream of going that far
so now i read it after posting and it hasnt changed anything. how could you compare the danger of a sport (i mean, what if he talked about the "addiction to ski"???) to the danger of a drug?
a drug can do stuff to you that youre not having control over which is imo a big difference to "any of the other addiction in our society" he mentioned. when i ski, or when i am horse-riding (not that i am actually doing it) i have the possibility to control the outcome. if i ride (works for both ;) ) very fast over techy terrain, i risk injury or death, but i dont have to do so. but in the second i flick in this little pill i have no control over (as little as the risks might be) the risks.
You're not gonna die from taking E. it'll just make you a retard that is never happy. So I guess in that way its like horsebackriding ooooh burn.
how about horse riding on ecstsacy or horses on ecstasy while your riding it.
how awesome would a horse on ecstasy be
