MOMENT SKIS ARE COMING

**Arty50** · 08-25-2006, 07:19 PM

I feel like I just watched a made-for-TV movie.

I'm going skiing in a week.

As far as Zippy's comments...its the 1ntern3T...how many TR's have I done in a serious tone....ummm....none.

Yes, I think he found the picture odd mainly because it was a little deceiving. And the sarcasm on the dimensions on the Bro's, I'll let him comment on that.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure they just use the presses at Slouch. I know for fact that Zippy has spent time engineering his own boards/protos. Hell, he even made a pair of the Reno's for his girlfriend, start to finish by his own hands...he was pretty proud of that. Custom bases, custom graphics, custom core, etc. Also, I was supposed to have a pair of Commis but they weren't perfect and I know that someone on Moment's end were blamed for the error. Furthermore, up until tonight, I've never even heard or met this Harmon guy, which makes me believe that Moment has little affiliation. But that's all I can add, I know nothing more.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Next on As the Skier Turns...

BT has a Kirwood pass next season. Will Zippy try to check out the T & A or just dis her because she's on the competitor-who-shall-not-be-named skis?

So how is this going to go down? Anchorman style with no blows to the face? My personal preference is which team can do the most hookers and blow in a 24 hour period.

There should be video. On second though, maybe not.

The only thing I added to my original post from the info I had was the vitriol. That part was mine.

The rest of y'all can kiss my ass.

I bet you offer a lifetime warranty on the skis. Lifetime of the company, though. Like six months or so.

This is nuts. Ice, you are smart guy, why, even after Splat's explanation are you still having trouble admitting your are wrong?

What part of the shit you are spewing above is proved TRUE by Splat's very thorough account of the events surrounding Slouch?

IMHO, you owe zIPPY an apology. Moment is NOT Slouch, you got them confused, it was an honest mistake. Now, it is time to admit it.

I live near Reno, I also live near Tahoe,

I have to catch a 6AM flight to San Jose Monday morning. Im going to live in the Marriott in Campbell for the next six weeks.
I want it to snow.

That is all.

Doc, you've known me online for what, five, six years now? Am I an idiot? Am I a liar?

I don't know zippy for shit, I already said that. And I have absolutely no reason to hate him or his company, but someone keeps telling me stuff and I believe it. Someone you know very well.

I choose to side with the people I know versus the people I don't, it's a trait called "loyalty" and I'm sticking with it. Perhaps I take the loyalty bit to the extreme, but all four of my grandparents were born in Ireland and that's how it's done.

No apologies here.

**Arty50** · 08-25-2006, 10:46 PM

Oh great. Now we've got ourselves a fucking mini-series.

**Superstar Punani** · 08-25-2006, 10:48 PM

With all due respect to all parties involved, but what the fuck is with all the goddamn cocksucking, circle jerking, political correctness around here?!?!?! Have we become a message board of fucking pussies? "Oooooh! I don't want to hurt anyone's feewings!!!"

I'm sure there's two sides of every story, and I sure as fuck. want to hear them without all this feigned "oh you did NOT just say THAT!!!" crap

That being said, I'm not being fucked, so I won't wiggle my ass.

Carry on.

Good point, although I believe I just told lph to fuck off, politely of course.

**Arty50** · 08-25-2006, 10:53 PM

Actually there's no fucking story. At least not along the original bent. But some fucking people have turned it into a story. And I've lost a lot of respect for them.

Whatever man, I still have that pic of you blasting out of the trees in the neckdeep at Heavenly (I think? maybe not) as one of my backgrounds and I still respect the hell out of that. Makes me drool every time, actually.

**Pinner** · 08-25-2006, 11:34 PM

None of this interests me in the least, except for iceman's vitriol which I find refreshing as hell.

But I really gotta ask, why would you name a ski company "Moment," when there's already a ski company named "Movement?"

That's stupid.

**iceman** · 08-25-2006, 11:51 PM

Pinner knows what's up.

I'm with Pinner 200%, and I automatically dislike lph because he didn't let Z-BO or myself crash at his place during the Kirkwood comp a few years ago. So he's automatically wrong. In fact, he was down right rude. So there.

**lph** · 08-26-2006, 12:21 AM

I hear ya, ice.

Clearly you have some info I don't.

I was part of PMgear during that first year of production problems and never heard any mention of Moment skis, zippy, or even another ski company being the problem. However, i was on my way out and probably wasn't privy to all the details of what was going on.

Oh well. Shit happens.
