Pretty sure he is making millions. It took a minimum of a million for Atomic to get him, and with his incentives for wins and podiums, not to mention the overall last year, he's gotta be well into the millions.

Bode's just pissed off because he got three "random" drug tests in a row, right after the publicly said that FIS should stop drug testing. I can see why he might be a bit more sensitive than normal right now (and this is the guy who threatened to start his own racing tour last spring, remember).
Also, it appears he's reconsidered his threat to quit.
Change is good. You go first.
Bode's ok by me. US ski racing was up the shitter for a long time until Bode put us back on the map. Let him bitch.........so long as he keeps kicking those euro-elitist asses.

i'm making the 'bode bet' in every event for the olympics. bode to win and bode to dnf, you're guaranteed one of those. lighten up on the dude, he'll come back around.
i don't suppose i have any patriotism; i was much more upset seeing herman crash. i don't know shit about racing or bode nor do I care to but i know herman may be the best skier ever.

What a joke, you guys ripping on Bode. The guy is everything every pussy in the world wishes he was -independent, smart, unafraid, opinionated, badass- and yet the pussys still feel the need to rip him.
Meow, motherfuckers. Me-fucking-ow.
I think most of you would be fed up too if FIS singled you out for extra drug testing. Showing up at your house unannounced in mid-summer, asking for you to pee in a cup, and then fining you when you aren't there...yeah, you'd all be stoked, for sure. All b/c you had to tell them 6 months before that where you would be shitting that weekend, and got to your house to take a crap a few hours late. This reeks of the shit they've been trying to do to Lance. They just want "euro" sports to stay euro, so they go for the mind-fuck instead of producing athletes that can compete. If anyone is whining its the euros b/c Bode and DR are getting all the press. France hasn't had a guy win a globe in how many years (???) and the Austrians lost the throne for a year...boo fucking hoo. If the Austrians got singled out and had to pee in cups as much as Bode they'd be bitching too.
so Bode doesnt even qualify for the second run and they test his boot sole height? WTF is that?! sounds like FIS is breakin his balls. he wasnt even in position to place top 25 let alone bump someone off the podium, so who gives a shit?
bode is ok by me but daron is the man. super cool dude and HARD chargin freeskier, but its still pretty gay that he sold out to SB just to make a little money but i guess it helps pay the bills right?
definately rootin for marco to get back into the scene though. after that dumb stunt he pulled to fuck up his knee he needs to step it up and show that he can hang with the best of them.
Mom! The meatloaf! FUCK!.

BTW - speaking of innovation, what was canada'a last?
Brian Orser?
or was it Boitano?
Bode writes a weekly column in the Denver Post (Tuesdays I think) that is generally poorly written and usually ends up in some sort of gripe session about how this and that about the World Cup is bad. Seems like it is everything from the location his trailer is parked to drug testing to bid # drawings, etc. Kind of like a multi-millionaire baseball or basketball player bitching that they have to carry their own luggage to the private plane.
He is a good skier and I root for him, but I wish this persecuted athlete act would cease.
So what.Originally Posted by jpcski
You're not there, YOU have no idea. So Bode isn't the picture of what you think an athlete should be. Who cares what you think. You go do it, then have an opinion. Otherwise, shut the fuk up.
Are you paying for the US TEam? Didn't think so. Pay some fukkin $$$$ then you might fukkin count.
Try the new canadian airforce. Remember how gay skiing was before those guys came around?Originally Posted by 粉末雪
By the way: how the hell is Bode innovative? By skiing on his heels every race then being a sore loser when he eats shit and proceeding to bitch about how FIS is the one fucking him over? Maybe if he actually learned to stay on his feet consistantly his head would cool down.

euros don't like Americans dominating "their" sports like ski racing and cycling. the euro dominated officials like to flick Bodes nuts. Bode needs to shrug it off cuz hes giving them exactly what they want. if Bode were to quit the tour because of this, I would lose much respect. the only way to shut those bastards up is to kick their asses.

At least he didn't give it the ol' "definately".
The FIS sucks this is'nt the first time they've pulled shit on the on Americans. They hammered Ralves about a BIB they issued and stripped A.J. Kitt of a couple DH victories over total bullshit.
Sooorrrrrreeee...it was snowboarding that made skiing un-gay, not those queebs poaching the park at tremblant. They were nasty at the time, but in the broad scheme of things did very little to move the sport from gay to un-gay...they are equal to like one of the bands on the blizzard of ahhs soundtrack.Originally Posted by powslut
