Would there be a GSA if there was no Doug Coombs ?

Whilst I believe that the GSA is probably omni-present I am going to paint a small room in my house like this so I can actually feel his presence surround me..

Ha ha.. Could someone cut n paste this onto the Sentinel in the opening scene of 2001?.. I have vision but regret I lack the skills..

Thank you

Very astute and timely observation.

No Coombs, no AK access for everyman, no daydreaming at Morgan Stanley, no Dos GoPros, no GSA discipleship. Where would we be without Doug Coombs?

Double Gopro all the way across his helmet. What does it mean? It almost looks like a triple Gopro

In all seriousness in a silly awesome thread, but, am i the only one surprised at the seemingly awesome amount of vacation time one seems to accrue at Morgan Stanley. I think a mass bombing of resumes via their online app process with a heavy concentration on our collective skiing chops would be awesome. The HR people would be like WTF are all the ski bums applying for. Carry on.

Seriously, with all the time he's taken for skiing this winter, GSA might have to settle for just a few long weekends in Easthampton.

i'm sure the GSA would approve of this stoke

pole-whacking? - check!
gnarly line? - check!
massive claim after ripping the shit out of it? - check!
bristling with go-pros? - you bet your sweet GSA they are!

Totally awesome. Perhaps that is how skiing was brought to the ancient people of earth.

I'd like to propose a ban on posting videos that everyone and their mother has already seen that have no relation to the GSA whatsoever.

**Ski to Be** · 04-04-2012, 01:25 PM

agreed^^^^

Messy... closing it out in style and killing me at the same time.

Making the official GSA transition to summer.

Inspired work by Chipboard, as well. If this thread's not HOF, I'm the GSA.

**splat** · 04-04-2012, 05:53 PM

Don't give up. The GSA could still show up at the Mammoth Mini.

And the throngs shall worship at his upright pointed toe feet.

Biff????

how about a ban on whiny bitches?
this vid has a very pertinent and clear connection to the Hallowed One, if you can't see it, you probably don't have enough GoPros

The stoke is great but post it on its own thread. That has nothing to do with the GSA.

How can so many of you who count yourselves as true believers be so blind? His Spirit is clearly visible in the very first shot!

Brother allow me to open up thine eyes...
