And I'm not saying that because I have seen them close up during his slideshow at Marmot Mountain tonight. But he had shots of interesting places to ski :eek: Of course, he brings his whippet with him.

I've had the oppertunity to ski with him a few times through a friend on another board. He is an impressive guy. If you ever think your in shape, go for a walk in the hills with him.
His slide shows are amazing.
Tried to keep up with him booting up the "Y" Couloir enroute to Coalpit, the man is a lung and legs. Probably in part due to chasing Alex Lowe around the Wasatch when he was alive and living in SLC.
Nothing like getting your ass kicked by a man 14 years your senior. Gives you optimism towards your upcoming geriatric years.:)
He's my hero.
Yes, he designed the Whippet. He also engineered the wire-gate caribeaner and a bunch of other hot shit for BD. RISD grads are known to put up some awesome legacies in ways completely different from ivy-league grads. Has anyone seen the "Power of Salad" DVD by Lightening Bolt, and featuring Pink & Brown -all RISD peeps and genius' in ther own ways.
More on AMc at www.pawprince.com - trip reports from around the world, project designs, notes from his book, dogs. It's a treasure trove.

RISD = Rhode Island School of Design??
Anyone want to help out a JONG and explain what a whippet is?
I know two definitions: 1) a breed of dog similar to, but smaller than a greyhound. 2) slang for the nitrous oxide in aerosol cans, such as Reddi Whip, that some people inhale for the high.
Neither of these seems to fit :)
This seems to refute the initial allegation that my client, Mr McLean has 'big balls', do you not agree Mr,... Mr Head?Quote:

Whippet = flick lock ski/treking pole with ice axe head
Balls + Lungs + kites = super badass

Unfourtunately I haven't seen the DVD, I am lazy.
There's an awesome scene from a tour stop in Texas or Oklahoma in the middle of summer, where the drummer dumps out the party hosts fridge to climb in and play. That DVD rules.Quote:
