I go Full Retard when someone/something hits my head unexpectedly.

The bar is an annoyance. We're not on a fucking roller coaster, you pussies. It stays up unless there's a little kid.

Fuck you, I'll put it down if I want to.

What's with all the attitude about the bar? I've had foot and ankle issues and the bar makes the ride comfortable, I don't need 10 lbs of gear hanging on my sore ankle the whole lift ride.

Then be polite about it, don't hit me in the head, and gently put the bar down.

I ride the single line a lot, as I am not there to hang around waiting for people, and often slide in on the end of the chair. We're not even airborn and the fucking bar hits me on the head. This has happened at least a couple times a year since the quad chair, safety bar, footrest craze hit this country. This is unacceptable.

Just like learning how to merge, some folks have problems riding the chair with others.

WARNING: INTERNET BADASS AHEAD

It'll never make it down.

No footrests where I go anyway. POINT IS IRRELEVANT

I think the general 'tude, though, comes from dumbfucks smashing the bar onto people's noggins or pinching extremities on the armrest. Dickery begets dickery. I'm cool with being blind, so long as I've poked your eye as well. Suck on that, Mohandas!!

Can page 58 be deleted from this otherwise "hall of fame" thread?

**only temporary** · 12-05-2009, 01:35 AM

Agreed.

**Pancakes** · 12-05-2009, 03:13 AM

You guys are a bunch of pussies. I don't care if the bar is down or up. If the other person gets mad then they are a fucking idiot, and that always makes me laugh.

**alma del polvo** · 12-05-2009, 03:23 AM

can't remember how the topic of avi safty came up on the chair, but this came out of a beaters mouth the other day.

"I don't understand the function of a beacon, I mean how do you turn it on when your buried. just doesn't seem practical"

Today I'm sitting off to the side of a run just soaking in the scenery when I hear a gaggle of kids arguing about something behind me. They ride up and wait for each other just in front of me. Then I hear what they're arguing about:

"Dude, I totally got a core shot."
"No way! I got the core shot!"
"Nuh uh. I got a full core shot!"

Maybe I'm snowboarding wrong, but I never really thought of a core shot being something to strive for personally.

Clearly you are just not core enough.

snowplowing getting on the chair, snow plowing getting off. Did it to me once. Did it to some little kid riding with his dad and kept the kid from getting on his dad's chair. Swinging his skis back and forth sideways--yawing if you prefer the nautical term.The guy--whoever he was--kept trying to get me to go the chair with him, run after run. And I'm not even that cute (I'm a 59 year old guy). Sad thing is the guy could ski.

I was riding single in the Gemini lift at winter park when I was much younger. A busload of 20+ Japanese tourists had all just gotten in line and I was dead in the middle of them. They were all wearing flashy new ski suits with brand new equipment, and they were all talking loudly and I couldn't understand any of them. As we approached the line, I was on extreme left side of chair ready to get on. The lady on the right side panicked and tried to walk forward too fast. She wound up crossing over the man's skis to her left. He tried to continue forward, but crashed into the other tourist on his left, who knocked me over like a dominoe. The chair came around, and went over the top of all of us. It hurt really bad - I was pissed the rest of the day about that.

Aussie Snowboarder next to me on the lift, motioning to my Praxis (on a recent 24" powder day):

"So what's the deal with those skis?"

IrieRon: "Bigger is better?"

Aussie Snowboarder: "Like when you don't know how to ride a bike and you have training wheels?"

IrieRon: <silent>

He wasnt just taking the piss?!?!?

For the record clarance or whatever his name has no idea where that is, even though you can see the parking lot and the entire fucking ski area

A statement I have head too many times: "I only ski Double Diamonds".

Where are you from/where do you ski? Pontiac Michigan. JONG!!!!!!

^^^is that in vail??? Wouldn't surprise me

**stupid idiot** · 12-08-2009, 12:08 AM

^gaper central, right @ the fountain in Vail. I used to go act all wack in that store right apove that girl's head. I go in there and always get kicked out b/c there's not a thing in there under $800 dollars. The guy in there is some huge fat ass hole. I'd literally run around his store like Damon Willams in that movie and he never could catch me. He probably weighs in about 350lb easy.

Probably where dumb and dumber got set up. Yeah, Vails got a lot of whores

Just need 1 dat swallows

How ya doin.

**DoWork** · 12-08-2009, 08:31 AM

Mine wasn't a quote, but it was the brightest display of gaperism I've ever seen. I was riding the snowdon triple at K with falldise and we were at the end when the lift stops us 4 feet from the unloading station. Apparently the guy in the chair in front of us failed to dismount. Then he couldn't get out of the chair. Once he got out, he fell and couldn't release his skis. Once the liftie had helped him get his skis off, he of course dropped them, fumbled around and ended up needing a piggyback ride to get off the platform. We golf clapped when he finally got the hell out of the way and several chairs behind us joined in. As annoying as it was to sit on the chair for 5 minutes, at least we had a front row seat to the best shitshow of the day, we were trying soooo hard not to laugh. It didn't work.
