Blizzard Thermos - before races, we'd always leave our skis in the snow (as opposed to in the rack) stupid!

Hansen Spyders - could also be disasembled with an allen wrench.

**InspectorGadget** · 02-22-2004, 10:42 AM

BTW - The Hanson Exhibition predated both the Stilleto & the Spyder.

Hansons were an injection boot, what was the injection material?

Who made the first maganesium shell boot that was also injection (foam) fit?

edit: added a what so the question makes sense.

henke.

**irul&ublo** · 02-22-2004, 10:48 AM

Wax. I had a pair of those orange monsters.

Magnesium....Henke?

Hansons were a neoprene liner (thus the spray can). Most also had a "Flo" (some sort of gel stuff) insert around the instep.

Mel "Daleboot" Dalebout did the first magnesium shell boot, which was also the first rigid, hinged shell ski boot. There's still one on the wall at the Daleboot factory. Don't know if it was injection fit.

you are but a tiny man compared to the late, great Howard Head.
so just shut the fuk up - or better yet; go to europe where carving is all the rage.

**Dexter Rutecki** · 02-22-2004, 07:40 PM

But what about compared to the bitter, ignorant, sanctimonious Ted Stryker?
Why don't you fuck off--you're starting to make Brett look good.

Gee, one ACL and you get all bitchy. Try 2 1/2, you pussy.

(you probably won't git that one either)

**iceman** · 02-22-2004, 09:49 PM

I don't get it either, but he's at two ACL's now, not one.

You bitter smartmouth bastards might actually get along if you met up. Give it a rest. Seriously.

But if you can't give it a rest, I'm gonna have to tagteam with Dex. Sorry, Ted, but he's my bro.

Alrighty then,
what's the name of the Kastle ski which had two base grooves in tail of the ski and one base groove in the front?

Bonus: Name the first grooveless ski?

Bonus points in the lightning round for both irul and Spats. And yes, the Daleboot was a foam boot.

My dingbat brother spent days masking and spraying his mag boots with bright yellow paint - nearly all of which came off the first time he skied in them.

True or false: The Fullplast 2002 was a ski built in the mid-seventies.

I just found this thread (a tad late), so to sidestep the bitchathon that was on the last thread I was just on, I'm gonna barge in and throw another one out with yours, IG-

What ski company sponsored Art Fuhrer?

Yeah, I know him, I've skied with him, I know his wife, we've gone out to dinner together...I'm an Irish guy from Boston, loyalty is what I value above all else, I can't change that.

I know the answer, pick me, pick me!!!

And I do so love a good bitchathon

**Ted Stryker** · 02-22-2004, 10:53 PM

Gagdet: It might have been The Ski --
or was it the Olin Mark IV Comp?

I can't wait any longer; Art Fuhrer was sponsored by Hart. He skied on Javelin SSL's and did tricks like the Royal Christie and Javelin turns (before phUnk was born).

Ted, you might be right about the Olin. But, it would have been the Olin Mark IV, which was released prior to the Comp.

I've got to stop using the red. Maybe it's just my monitor settings, but it's hard to read.

Who can say where the name 'Royal Christie' came from, and what Americanization led to its name?

Not me.

**iceman** · 02-22-2004, 11:57 PM

I can make a half-ass stab at it. The Christiana family was the royal family of Demark, and one of them Danes came up with the useless turn we've cime t know as the stem christie. Hence, after a few years, the Royale Chtristie

Or not.

**InspectorGadget** · 02-23-2004, 12:06 AM

I was thinking more along the lines of a royal dog named Christie; because doing a Royal Christie looks somewhat like a male dog lifting a leg to piss.

Come on Dexter, cough-up the answer. Inquiring minds want to know.

**half-fast** · 02-23-2004, 08:28 AM

saw a guy on the maroon-brown stratos yesterday-had the old look bindings-I think they were red (or blue) metal

Spit it out, Dex.
Is it even a spin off reference to a stem christie?
Is Christie some hot chick in the Arlberg that did nude onslope modeling for American Nude Skier magazine?
